January 10, 2009

Wow, time has flown right through us!

We are meeting back together the first time this year on Thursday, January 15th at 8 am.

Everyone is bringing a breakfast dish....so if you want to join us please do so! We would love to have you!

I am excited to hear the praise reports!

It is awesome to see the Lord working as He does so majestically and powerfully! I am in awe of how many people in the particular school district we are in, including teachers and staff who have a relationship with Jesus Christ! That is what is great about the prayer group, it is coming together, no matter the denominational church we attend. The walls come down as we worship, praise and declare the awesomeness of our God through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit!

Lyrics to 'Let The Walls Come Down'
by Steve Green

All throughout the spirit realm a fearsome battle rages
The fates of men and nations hang suspended in the fray
Walls designed by satan in the twilight of the ages
Now stand as great divisions all across the world today
Walls not born of government nor strife amid the nations
But walls within our churches and between denominations
Stones of dry tradition carved in fear and laid in pride
Become a dismal prison to those withering inside

Chorus
Let the walls come down
Let the walls come down
Let the walls that divide us
And hide us come down
If in Christ we agree
Let us seek unity
Let the walls
Let the walls come down
Let the walls
Let the walls come down

The body weak and powerless, crippled by division
The victim of a tragic and most cruel civil war
Brother fighting brother over culture and tradition
While countless lost and dying lie as casualties of war
It's time to end the foolishness of warring with each other
And kneel in true repentance that our union be restored
May we then as brothers rally round the cross of Jesus
And carry on with diligence the mission of our Lord

Chorus
Oh children of God
Oh soon to be bride
Let us humble ourselves
And crucify pride
Throw off the flesh
And its pious facade
And unite in the name of God

Chorus

This is a powerful song and rings so true. One of my dad's favorite songs, to constantly remind us of what we don't want to be guilty of.

If you have any prayer requests, praise reports regarding your school, teachers or staff please write us at wmcip@yahoo.com


Proverbs 16:3~ "Commit all our ways to the Lord and He will make it successful."
Proverbs 3:5-6~ "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct our paths."

The amazing part of these scripture verses is the ways we may think we should go, He will direct them according to His plan. We may not understand it for a moment and sometimes for a lifetime. However, we must know that the steps we take today, will affect not only our tomorrow, but also our children's tomorrow! So let's make sure that our steps are on His path as we trust in the Lord with and in everything!

It's so hard to do, isn't it? But if we keep our focus on the King of kings and the Lord of lords, our Jesus and praise Him on purpose, whether it be our actions, or our words or both, we will find that His grace is sufficient for us! We will look back and be amazed at how He has brought us through as we spoke blessing over those situations, even when the people or circumstances were driving us to speak otherwise!

As I have been looking at pictures of the stars, the galaxies, the moon, the universe that goes on for eternity, then I look at the creatures of the deep sea, the beasts of the field in the remote places of Africa. Just our earth itself, it literally paralyzes my mind to even fathom that we are so blessed to be able to have a relationship through Jesus Christ with our Father God who created all of those things that I see, let alone the things I have not seen! Wow! He is MORE than WORTHY to be praised!

Psalm 104 is a glimpse of what I described...to even step into a glimpse of the awesomeness of God, you literally must bless His holy name. As we bless His Holy Name, who is clothed in Majesty, we can somehow worship Him anywhere at any moment and all the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the lust of the flesh has no place and has no ability to penetrate the mind at that moment, as the Lord is worshipped in spirit as we are led by His Spirit and in truth...who is truth? Jesus Christ!!!!

Be blessed as you read Psalm 104 today! Please write and share with us what you got out of it. Thank you so much for reading the blog and supporting us in prayer unto the Lord God Almighty!
