Prayer for Spiritual Strength


May we find rest and peace from the Spirit.
May our priority be to find time and space to commune with You
just Jesus retreated to the Gardens to pray.
May we experience the wealth and blessings from our inheritance 
as co-heirs in your kingdom.
May we be courageous and brave as agents of your Kingdom.  
Thank you for your goodness and kindness.

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19 (ESV

*******

May we have the strength and flexibility of bamboo,
may the Spirit of the Father run through the marrows of our bones.
And that we may be able to do His will for His Kingdom
with firm secure and confident steps into each intention of faith.

In closing to RE:MAIN John 15:1-17  may our prayer be for one another  to experience abundant nourishment from the heavenly treasury flowing upon our journey as followers of Jesus.  As we each discover and continually connect with Father God may all fullness bloom in accordance to His will.  May all temptations fade away from the midst of our reality.  But when faced with frustrations, stresses, trials, and suffering may we all be able to come face to face with those situations and obstacles with the knowledge of Truth.  Shall we lean into The Father for understanding, and breakdown old walls and ways for the sake of new breakthroughs in our personal lives, our work, our service int he Kingdom, and communities. Would the fruit of the Spirit unfold with prudence for the sake of Him who deserves all glory.  And would we all feel that closeness and intimacy with the Father throughout the seasons to come.  

Blessings brothers and sisters

Inside Out

He is working in us on a daily basis, even when we are not in tip top shape.  This was Paul's hope, prayer, and encouragement to the leaders, forerunners, and churches:   Therefore do not loose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, though inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. -2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV) He continually works from the inside out. May our mind be set towards kingdom thinking; may this be our prayer this week. Let our prayers humble us as we continue to serve our churches, communities, work place, friends, family, PEOPLE that dwell with us.  He truly gives when we are opened to receiving.

Giving with Delight

To the God we serve and delight in... On a daily basis we constantly struggle with the perspective of what it means to forgive and give/serve others.  I realized that when we are actively serving those around us, old friends, new friends, family members, co-workers, ministry partners, volunteers, interns, students, your pastor, the barista that rung up your coffee this morning etc...we tend to live in the illusions of self by bring our baggage from the past.   Some examples:  -I'm experiencing a bad morning, so I don't have to smile as I leave the barista that just rung up my morning cup of coffee.   -I was stuck in traffic this morning and wasn't in the mood, so I didn't  feel like opening the door for the intern with the big pile of papers/books in hand on the way into work. -I haven't heard back from my old high school friend for like 10 years, and they just called in for a favor, why bother responding. -I did not appreciate how my grandparents...

Words

SEALS 2012 was.... generated by Wordle.net For all who attended SEALS 2012, and to the ones that were not able to attend.  These are the words that influence us today as we have departed one another.  With these words we become a living testimony by Truth Is, and by Spoken Word. For those who have returned home to an avalanche of reality, be courageous.  Our fear is not about our doubt, its about our futility, the feeling of being useless or ineffective.  It's healthy to be doubtful, sad, mournful, heavy-hearted, in pain, broken, stressed; these are feelings that the Father created, emotions that He also feels. He also created compassion, joy, empathy, redemption, surrender so that we would rely on Him as a source. This words collaged above represent how attendees felt leaving SEALS 2012.  Be empowered by these words.  May our words continually be edified and may we continue to be bold in our ministries "Be strong and courageous.  Do no...
