Apprentice 2 Jesus

Prayer

  • Tested by Fire

    Over the past several weeks we have been in prayer for a missionary friends who has battled for his life. There are so many spiritual elements in the equation and the prayers of the saints have truly carried on a spiritual war. So much is at stake. It’s the life of a missionary. It’s a… Read more

  • Let’s get engaged

    Not this:   But THIS:   4 Our weapons that we fight with aren’t human, but instead they are powered by God for the destruction of fortresses. They destroy arguments, 5 and every defense that is raised up to oppose the knowledge of God. They capture every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:4-5) Let… Read more

  • Living Dead

    There is an organization in missions called “Live Dead.” There is a new generation being called to go the hardest places of the world to proclaim and live out the gospel of Jesus Christ. The challenge is great because for too many years we have called these “closed” countries “hard” to the gospel. They are… Read more

  • It is Resurrection

    Lord, you are RISEN. Let us not be bored with the resurrection. Let us not yawn our way through another service, nodding off because we just don’t think the service is exciting enough. Forgive us for not thinking resurrection is meaningful! Resurrect us in faith. To know we can pray to a risen Savior and he hears. Resurrect us in service. To know you… Read more

  • Shake off the coma

    The friend we have been praying for is experiencing miracle after miracle. He is making astounding leaps in recovery. Even doctors are calling it a miracle. The Church needs to wake up out of its coma and stay awake.  To PRAY for closed countries. To PRAY for missionaries and churches in closed countries. To not give… Read more

  • Even the enemy makes tactical errors

    We have spent the past week in a new level of intercessory prayer, and it is a call to an ongoing battle. A missionary friend was struck down by an illness last Monday and was in a coma most of the week. Doctors scrambled to diagnose the issue, but an ever widening circle of friends… Read more

  • A prayer of John Wesley

    O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but thy pure love alone! O may thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! Strange fires far my heart remove; My every act, word, thought, be love!   Read more

  • Of course MY view of the issue is absolutely correct

    Pick this week’s hot topic (or one of several that have exploded this week) and we have simply managed to yell at one another. Every one of us are capable of grabbing our particular issues, holding on for dear life, and demanding 100 percent allegiance… and it goes all across the board. I have not… Read more

  • Willing to hear

    In our very divisive day, it is pretty much understood we won’t listen to each other anymore. My prayer today is that we not harden our hearts toward God. For he is our God,     and we are the people of his pasture,     and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would listen to… Read more

  • I’m not done praying

    From my last post, I am still not going to get into the swamp we’ve all become stuck in. I still need to pray. So, I continue with my prayer of confession. God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness… Read more
