What a weekend! Saturday two others and I attended a meeting on our upcoming mission trip to Haiti (please begin praying for this trip)…enlightening and useful, except I was reminded of bucket showers…not looking forward to those again! Then on Sunday, about 4am, the flu bug bit me and I spent the rest of the day either in bed or in the bathroom…praise God for those who intercede on our behalf and for healing! On that note, how is your time of prayer and fasting going? Even though it is not the most exhaustive instrument, I hope you’re using the prayer calendar and finding some progression and sense to it as you claim these requests as your own. These are not my requests for you or my requests for the church…many are actually my requests for me in 2011 and I added some others requests aimed at the church. It was my intention that you make these requests your own as well. I further hope and pray this exercise is drawing you either closer to God or placing you in God's presence more often each day…we could all benefit from both. I must believe several of us have engaged in this process as the Spirit is moving here at Beulah…Jesus promises us in Matthew 18:19 that when we agree on something in prayer, the Father will answer that prayer! Too often we want to focus on 18:20 in which Jesus tells us where two or three are gathered together he will be with us…I know that is comforting to some, but I personally find more joy in knowing He will answer my prayer than be with me…the Spirit’s always with me! Regardless, here’s my question for you today, Is God answering your prayers? If so, praise Him! If not, why not?
