“I learned as never before that persistent calling upon the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times, there is simply no other way.” - Jim Cymbala, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church, from Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire.
As an extension of Sunday’s message I offer the above quote. Church, our battle is against the powers and principalities of this dark world, (Eph. 6:4) and prayer is the only way to break the stronghold. Do you believe that? If you do not, you have no hope…I would wonder why you bother to read my blog. If you do, you know that nothing this side of heaven can stop a praying child of God. I pray you will engage with the prayer calendar this January. If you don’t attend Beulah, you can access it on our website (visitbeulahumc.org). I hope you’ll seriously consider my call for us to pray for the lost in 2011. If each of us would develop a “10 Most Wanted List” and fervently pray for those individuals on our list, I think we would see the hand of God move in a mighty way in the lives of folks around here. But remember, it’s not about building up Beulah; it’s about building up the Kingdom. If we will focus on Kingdom work, God will take care of Beulah. May the Spirit guide you as we fast and pray through January together…there is simply no other way!
