As we prepare during the final hours before our Lay Witness Mission begins, I am asking the church to intensify our prayer efforts. While there are many requests I could lift up…and many already have been lifted...I would ask the body to focus its efforts on two specific requests. First, pray that Satan would be bound for this weekend. Revelation 20:2 says, “He (an angel) seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years…” (NRSV). I believe we have experienced distractions and setbacks in our LWM due to Satan’s unchecked activity. Let’s pray that he would be bound for these three days, allowing the Spirit to work freely among us. Secondly, I know we have prayed for many others, but let’s pray that this weekend would impact each of US. That WE might experience a touch from above in whatever form the Spirit sees fit. In Jeremiah 33:3 God says, “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known” (NRSV). Let's not get caught up in the busyness of the weekend failing to call out to God ourselves, lest we miss what God wants to say to us.
