Join us in praying for the following world needs this week:
A Mother's Prayer

How many of us can trace our walk with God back to the prayers of a loved one? I can hear her now . . . "Lord, give my children a determination to serve You!" I began hearing my mother pray this before I even understood what she was saying. All my life, to the very end of hers, this was her constant petition.
 
What difference did it make? What is determination anyway? Why is it needed in our walk with God? According to Miriam-Webster (via Mr. Google), determination is defined as: "The act of deciding definitely and firmly; the result of such an act or decision; firm or fixed intention to achieve a desired end; a fixing or finding of the position, magnitude, value, or character of something." 
 
This could be as simple as realizing the importance of putting God FIRST in every part of my life. Today, this is the missing element in so many lives torn by hesitation, indecision, irresolution, and vacillation (all antonyms of determination). These lives are in and out, back and forth, almost persuaded by but not wholly convinced that serving God is the most valuable, profitable, and wonderful way to live.
 
I like one synonym given for determination by Mr. Webster, one my mother used often - "stick-to-itiveness." Psalm 57:7 says it well: "My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise." 
 
That word fixed means be prepared. No matter what the enemy throws my way, I am ready to fight him with the weapons of God's warfare, and a "stick-to-itiveness" of serving God and living His way.
 
Thank you, Mom, and bless you for such a treasure to pass to my own children too, a prayer for determination to serve God, come what may!

The Bride Hath Made Herself Ready!

"For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready" (Revelation 19:7).
 
I think we can all agree that we are clearly in the last of the last days before the coming of our Lord and King. The Lord reminded me today of a word He gave me several years ago. I was deep in the Spirit that day and He very clearly spoke these words to me:

  • My Bride has made herself ready
  • My Bride looks to me as her chief joy
  • My Bride does not rejoice in the calamity of others, but she rejoices in the truth
  • She looks for ways to better serve me
  • She is not idle, nor is she looking for pleasure
  • My Bride solely looks to please me

I have read these words many times over the years. They have helped me correct my course and get back on track. Those words have been bittersweet, in that they bring conviction ...but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. (Proverbs 27:7)
 
Let's pray for ourselves and the Body of Christ to:

  • Have the spirit of the wise virgins
  • To live in a repented state of carefulness and readiness to meet the Lord
  • Not be consumed by the pleasure-seeking spirit that has engulfed our generation
  • Fall in love with the Lord afresh
  • See a sovereign move of God sweep hungry souls into His arms
  • Remind Jesus that He said "He would pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh"
  • Pray that He would give us the former and the latter rain together

Let us give our "All for One, and One for ALL"!
