Join me in sincere and daily prayer for God to be among us in extraordinary ways. We've a great field white unto harvest within driving distance of our church. As we pray and seek God's face and quiet our hearts to be where Jesus is, the workers, the resources, the material, the visions and dreams, and strength will be given us. Pray for people who don't know Jesus. They are everywhere among us. And, should they join us, let's open our lives to them and receive them just as Jesus and the church has received us. If they choose not to join us, let's love them with the same kind of love with which Jesus has loved us all ~~ everlasting and unconditional.

Powerless And Powerful Because Of It
Each of us is powerless to be effective for Christ in our worlds. We simply don't have what it takes to touch a disinterested and distracted world for God. However (and this is huge), we don't have to have what it takes. We simply need to be in Jesus because as we abide in Him He is able to release the power of God. Apart from Him we can do nothing but in Him we will be like a healthy branch in a healthy vine, bearing the fruit of God's amazing love. In this way we will bring glory to the Father, Jesus will give us His joy, and our joy will then be complete. Stay close to Jesus and enjoy the journey.
