Well we had our first get together to build an ARMY of prayer warriors on 11/11/15 at Grandview Church (Room E2). If you didn’t make it, I want to tell you not to put it off any longer come next week! We want you to join us, God wants you to join us in the battle.

Those of you that are following the blog: Thank you for joining us too. God is working in you just like he is those that attend in person. And guess what has me even more excited? Each of you is going to keep spreading this call for prayer warriors. You won’t even be able to help yourselves. You are going to be shocked at the gospel you begin to share with other people. You are not going to be able to keep it to yourself when you begin to see God work in your life. When you begin to see him work to answer your prayers in bigger and better ways than you even asked or imagined when you started to pray.

I hope you already have your notebook or journal and have been documenting your journey. I promised in the last post I would share some of the scripture to incorporate into your Prayer for returned (or maybe even first time) passion in your prayer life. I will do that in just a few minutes..

First I wanted to just tell all of you following by blog that class time last Wednesday by His devine guidance did follow almost exactly as I had previously posted. This was God led because, I have so much in my mind, I was very worried that I would jump around too much and be hard to follow. I humbly thank the Father for keeping me on task and for every person He is going to reach through each of you!

Ok here we go. Infuse your prayers with the following scriptures. Don’t limit yourselves to these though. If you are more industrious than I was initially feel free to look up your own scriptures and use those too!

Hosea 6:3 says He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.

I love this next part!  For any of you farmers or farmers wives!  How does a person receive rain?  Can you persuade it to fall?  Can you make it fall when you want it?  Can you make it fall faster?  NO!  You just have to stand there and watch it fall.  Just stand in the downpour and thank Him for opening up the floodgates and sending what He knows we need and can’t get for ourselves.

OK go do it!  With just these few verses Patrica gave us (or your own if you found some or know some) begin writing your strategic prayer for passion in your prayer life.  Make it part Praise, part Repentance, part Asking and a whole lot of YES!  Remember, day after day, PRAY the words you’ve written.  Don’t read them, PRAY them to your very capable Heavenly Father.  And then be expectant.  Look for his works.  You will see them everywhere.  Prepare to be amazed by his love for you and his ear to hear you.  Make sure you have an ear to hear Him to!

I know I sound cheesy and you probably don’t believe me but I AM SO EXCITED FOR WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE, FOR HIS GLORY!

I know you will have some private prayers that you do not want to share along with some private answers you do not want to share.  But for those things that are not private please share with us some of the answers and the ways God answers.  I am waiting expectantly!!!

Father, I come before you and thank You for the great legacy of prayer that has come before us.  I ask You to pour out Your Holy Spirit on me and Your church.  Draw me into a daily, more intimate walk with You.  May prayer become as natural to me as breathing, and may You work through my prayers to help bring about Your kingdom and Your will in my heart, my home, and my generation.  In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.  (From The Battle Plan for Prayer)
