Paul explains in 2 Cor. 5:9 that his ambition is to be pleasing to God.  To be clear, he is not speaking about salvation in this text.  The word pleasing can also mean acceptable.  It comes from the Greek root word that means "fit together."  More than anything else, Paul's eager desire was that his life in Christ would, at all times, fit together with what is acceptable and pleasing to God.  The natural drift of man is toward apathy, and apathy precedes apostasy.  Thus, it is wise on the part of Christians to reassess and realign our lives to a manner of living that "fits together" with what pleases the Lord.

Revivals are designed for just such a purpose.  I have been invited by New Life Fellowship in Rifle, Colorado, to lead their church in revival services beginning Sunday, Nov. 1st through Sunday morning, Nov. 8th.  Please join with me in prayer to ask God to fan into flame a revival fire during this consecrated week for God's people in Rifle.

Please pause right now to join us in a few minutes of prayer.

Pray for Mike.

• Ask God for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to speak the words He would have Mike say.
• Ask God to help Mike to make the message clear and speak the truth boldly with love.

Pray for New Life Fellowship and People of Rifle. 

• Ask God to convict of sin and draw His people to repentance that a great time of refreshing may come upon His church.
• Ask God to guard against distractions that would keep His people from gathering together.  Pray that the church will consecrate these days to seek the Lord in humility.
• Ask God to strengthen and realign marriages to the biblical standard so that the Gospel can shine forth brightly before the lost.
• Ask God to draw the lost to come to the revival services (especially on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) to hear clearly the Gospel of Jesus, and that His Spirit will convict the lost of sin, righteousness, and judgment leading them to repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation.

Thank you for praying for me and for revival in Rifle, Colorado!

   

Simply Devoted to Christ,

Mike
