Dear Praying Friends~As we welcome February 2024, I encourage you to continue in a prayerful life. I think that Alvin Vandergriend says it well in Love to Pray: “prayer is the conversational part of the most important love relationship in our lives, our love relationship with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.” In January, I mentioned a very clear dream that I had. The dream inspired our theme of worship all last month. This month, the dream inspires the theme of making disciples. We will enter the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday, February 14, and the posts will become more specific as we pray to make disciples in our cities. So this month, I encourage you to join me as we pray “SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES!” Let’s pray on, Saints! ~Gina
Thursday, February 1, 2024: Matthew 28:18-20
Prayer Pointer: This scripture is known as the Great Commission. This commission is given in light of the authority of Jesus. This indicates that this is an authoritative command, not a suggestion. It is the same idea as if an officer reminded a private of his rank before he gave the order. Because He has this authority, He can send whomever He wills to do whatever He pleases. ~Enduring Word Bible Commentary
Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, when You gave us this commission, You gave it to us with Your authority. Remind me and my brothers and sisters worldwide that we walk in Your power and not our own. Show us how to be the fulfillment of Your Great Commission. (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES!
