Prayer Email archive: (05/03/2000) in line with His people |
hello prayer warriors,
1. prayer note: in line with His people We've covered validating God's voice or what God tells us. Is it in line with His Word (the Bible), and is it in line with His character. Now, we have a third dimension, His people. [Ephesians 4:11-13] 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Paul heard God on his way to Damascus [Acts 9:1-18]. God has called him to bear God's name before the gentiles. Yet, in [Acts 13:1-3], many years after the Damascus experience, we see God speaking to Paul through the elders in the church of Antioch confirming what God has initially called Paul to do. [Acts 13:2-3] As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. What does that mean? God uses His people, especially His elders to confirm what He has told us. I've received prophecies which are confirmed by different people in my church, and I know that they did not first concur with one another what to say to me. It was God, confirming to me, and reassuring me of what He has already told me. So, sometimes, when we are unsure, seek God and ask Him to send His people to confirm His word to us. However, to do that, we usually have to be in the company of believers. If we are far away from the family of God and we do not belong to a church, it will be difficult to receive a word through His people when we stay away. [Proverbs 11:14] Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 2. New prayer requests: i. pray for Ginia's family -- Ginia Lately, my family hasn't been like we used to be. My sister's 17 and she and my mom haven't been getting along very well. They fight constantly and it seems like my sister's constantly grounded. My dad has been talking to a pastor at our church and I hope that he will tell my dad how to help get our family happy again. We used to always get along and only fight occassionally but now my sister's always mad and my mom's always cranky and she takes it out on the rest of us. I just wanted you to pray for my family that God will work with us and help us to remember that He will get us through anything. I don't think my family spends as much time with Him as we need to. I think He is what will get us through our problems. I want you all to pray that my family will stop fighting and look to God for the answer. ~In Him~ -Ginia http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=157&table=prayer&reptable=replies 3. Continue to pray for: i. husband -- taby810 My husband is going through a very hard spiritual battle. The enemy is trying to tell him that he has no more chances with God. He has an evangelistic calling on his life. Please pray that God shows him that the enemy is lying to him. I have listened to the leading of God and it is PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! God Bless each and every one of you for your prayers!!! - taby810 http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=154&table=prayer&reptable=replies 4.
