Join us in praying for the following world needs this week:
Conquering the End-time Spirit of Lawlessness


“For the mystery of iniquity (lawlessness - that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way” (II Thessalonians 2:7).
 
We face very dark end-times in America, but we also have the comfort with the light of our precious Gospel. For God is sovereign in His love and is in full control at all times over all human affairs. Yet Proverbs 4:23 declares we must guard our hearts with all diligence as we spread the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. There are ten ways to fight the spirit of lawlessness in this last hour. they conquer the forces of sensual impurity, burn out, and demonic oppositions for the local church. These ten principles guard, protect and fight the good fight of faith.
 
  1. Staying under spiritual accountability at all times. No ministry is above accountability no matter how successful it becomes. More great ministries go off course because of the loss of accountability for moral purity, global evangelism and doctrinal accuracy.
  2. Keeping a repenting heart. This is essential when dealing with hurting souls.
  3. Staying accountable to your family. This is the organic anchor to the balanced life of the minister and soul winner.
  4. Keeping a servant’s heart to the saints in the local church, as a leader. This is our daily litmus test to make sure we have not allowed the spirit of pride and arrogance to control or dictate to the sheep God’s kingdom business.
  5. Keeping a love for the Word of God. There is no higher authority for dealing with seducing spirits! No manmade philosophies can replace the operation of the Word in daily living.
  6. Keeping a daily prayer life. Moses said if Your presence doesn’t go with me, I cannot perform your will. God’s presence operates in ruling authority in all the earth.
  7. Practicing periodic fasting. The carnal man is more dangerous than the devil himself. It is enmity with God. 
  8. Keeping a life of holiness separation from the world, but unto the Lord. This attracts God’s favor and voice to us personally. This really means desiring the high priority of walking in daily intimacy with the Lord Jesus Christ. This includes financial giving in tithes and offering with a willing heart as well.
  9. Reproducing yourself and disciple people at all times. We were made for this cause. This is the overflow of a love relationship for God and His people.
  10. Being willing to forgive and to be forgiven. When we lack forgiveness, we open ourselves up to seducing spirits in other areas in our lives.

Inspired to Pray!

There are two quotes that I keep in a place where I must read them often:
 
  1. "The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known." Leonard Ravenhill
  2.  "The man who mobilizes the Christian Church to pray, will make the greatest contribution in history to world evangelism."  Andrew Murray
 
If we can inspire people to pray, God will inspire them to grow in Him and bear much fruit.  
 
  • Pray that church leaders will be inspired to organize more prayer meetings in churches, homes, schools and businesses.
  • Pray that prayer meetings would be dynamic and Spirit-led rather that heavy and obligatory.
  • Pray for demonstrations of God's power in people's personal and family devotions.
  • Pray that the church would truly value prayer rather than embracing it as an obligation or a ritual.
  • Pray for God to draw unbelievers to prayer meetings where they can experience God's presence, powerful worship, healing, and salvation.
  • Pray for God to lead us into times of travail and warfare intercession that wreak havoc on the forces of the enemy and set at liberty those that are bound.
 
If we can help people learn to pray, using small groups and other kinds of interactive prayer sessions, we will see them grow, minister to others and begin to move in the Gifts of the Spirit like never before. Prayer will help them mature and become more responsive to God so their leaders don't have to be the source of their inspiration and encouragement. Pray for more prayer opportunities so that we can all mature in Christ.

Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey

It is almost time again for our  Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey  for our beloved prodigals.  As in the past, we will begin on  Wednesday, April 1 . Our theme this year is 'Welcome Home.' 

We pray and fast for our prodigals to return, but have we thought about the personal responsibility and commitment of loving them home and then loving them to complete restoration?  Loving prodigals requires a cost; a complete trust in Our Heavenly Father and submitting fully to the process within us and them.  

As the rooster crowed the second time on that early morning in Jerusalem, the Apostle Peter realized what he had done.  He had failed Jesus.  We can only imagine how he must have felt.  Jesus knew.  He didn't send a word of reprimand, or "Remember what I said you would do," or "I told you so." He didn't put him through steps of earning back his place with the eleven.  
 
Peter didn't need to be told how wrong he was.  He already knew, just as our beloved prodigals know.  Jesus simply had the young man dressed in white by the tomb that day to include Peter by name when he announced the instructions to the women where they could go to find Jesus.  That was His 'Welcome Home' sign.  He could return and he would be safe.  Just come home.  Your welcome is waiting.  He even trusted him with the message of The Gospel on The Day of Pentecost. 
 
Having the heart of Jesus with our prodigals takes time in His presence and The Word.  It takes much intentional preparation and commitment.  It takes spiritual warfare and rest; rest in our minds and bodies.  It takes persistent childlike faith and trust.  

We love them when they do not deserve to be loved just as Jesus loved us and sacrificed His all for us when we were yet in sin and unlovable.  The heart of Jesus says you may not feel you deserve to be loved but, "I want you home.  You are welcome.  I am here until you are healed and whole.  I won't preach to you.  I won't quote or send scriptures in text.  I won't re-preach sermons.  I won't look for opportune times to manipulate your thoughts.  I won't judge or condemn you when you fall.  I won't try to change you.  I'll trust Jesus to do that.  I'm just going to love you.  His Spirit within you will lead and guide you.  We can trust that process.  You and He will do this together.  With healthy boundaries understood by both of us, I commit to love you until..."
 
As we approach the eleventh 90 Days of Prayers For Our Prodigals Prayer Journey, let us think and pray about The Father in Luke 15.  His heart had been in preparation while waiting for his wayward son.  We don't know how long the son was gone.  We just know that 'gone' can mean anything.  Praying and preparing in trust takes intentional focus; not on just the son but also on The Father.  When the son returned, the Father's heart received (Greek: dechomai...warmly receptive, welcoming) him.  He had no fear of the days ahead or the restoration process.  His heart was perfectly aligned and prepared.  

Lord, prepare our hearts as we pray for Your covenant children's return to You. There has been no greater or more important time on God's timeline up to this time for bringing home Your Covenant Sons and Daughters! Let us be mindful of the work You desire first in us.  Help us to align our 'Welcome Home' with Yours.  In Jesus Name, amen.  

With a deep longing for the harvest,
Don and Dy Anne Long

We've been praying, we've been sowing.
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain.
We're hungry, we're thirsty for YOU. We want YOU.
We're patiently waiting for YOU.  We need YOU. 
Song by William McDowell 
What an exciting time for Apostolics, Christians, believers of God!  If you're afraid, read God's promises again.  Read the prophecies of His Holy Word.  Remember how God took care of His people.  This is a time to pray, be wise, obey, and walk circumspectly.   The Godly men and people of the Bible went through trials. They submitted to the ruler over them.  God brought them through and He brought them OUT!  He'll do it again! 
Prayer Request for Prodigals

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:" Isaiah 46:9,10 (KJV)
Spring POA HOPE PRAYER Team is READY!

We will again pray together the book, PRAYERS FOR PRODIGALS ...90 Days of Prayers For ALL prodigals, by Dr. James Banks:  April 1- June 30.God's Word will be fulfilled. What He's done before, He will do it again. Our theme is WELCOME HOME. "And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border." Jeremiah 31:17 (KJV) 
 
Get your 'welcome' ready. Freshen the best robe. Fatten the calf, shine the ring and shoes!  Set the table in great anticipation. Speak of the glorious things God has done and is already doing.Look out the door and down the road with an expectant heart! Align your spirit and will with The Father to give a Luke 15 'Welcome Home' to your beloved prodigal.
