The Beauty of Intersession.

71. (Jesus speaking:) Do you know the beauty of intercession? I have said, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." My loves, now I tell you that greater beauty does not exist than this, that one pour out his heart and soul in intercessory prayer.

72. This is the beauty of intercession: to plead for another, to petition Me on behalf of one who doesn't have strength or courage to pray for himself; to intervene for one in need; to approach My throne on behalf of one who has no understanding, or may not know what to ask for himself; to work miracles for one who is in need of healing; to make requests for those who are in need of protection and safekeeping; to provide for another, to supply one's needs through your prayers; to solicit help from the spirit world; to release power; to deliver strength and courage; to lift burdens and liberate captives; to give comfort and spread peace; to prevent disaster; to ward off evil; to build strong walls; to raise force fields; to win battles and claim victories; to stand victorious and triumphant. This is the beauty of intercessory prayer.

73. I call you, My loves, to be My inter­cessors. A higher calling than this cannot be had, for those who intercede in prayer change the course of history. They hold the future in their hands. These who answer the call, I will crown with great honor and glory. There is no greater beauty than to pour out your heart and soul, to lay down your life in prayer for another. (End of mess­age from Jesus.)

TIME IS SHORT!

Whoa, check out the countdown! We are like drawing ever nearer to the offensive like a racing speed boat/car/plane type thingy. When I first heard about it I was like...bah so long away, 18 months, but now it is like IN THE FACE! Awesome, I know great and mighty things are gonna come from this, and I can't wait. Let's really keep on praying focused specific prayers for our personal changes that the Lord is trying to bring into each of our lives. We all really need each other's prayers. Love you guys. Cheers friends in JC, Gotta fly.

January Prayer Aim

I don't know about you... But I have a hard time remembering to pray for the prayer drive aims for each month, so I'll post it here :) Aaron~

Love for the lost

* That the Lord's love, and His passion for souls, will motivate us strongly as we reap the harvest. That saving souls and training them will be first nature to all of us, what we love, breathe, think about‚ and pray for. That our burning love will cause us to go to any lengths‚ do anything, whatever it takes‚ to reach the world.
* That everyone in the Family will recommit to the calling of witnessing and winning—the reason we're here on Earth. For strong personal belief that we're all called to be witnessers, not just those who witness as their primary ministry.
* For the Lord to actively work in the hearts and lives of those that He wants us to reach during the offensive, and to do so today—so that when the time comes for us to meet the lost souls that He's lining up for us to meet, they will be receptive, desperate, ready to be reached, and willing to accept the challenge of becoming Family members at some level.
* That the Lord will bring each of us personally to the point of being open channels to feed the sheep and be able to relate to those that we'll be reaching in the future. That the Lord will do the work in our hearts, or bring us through experiences, or do whatever is necessary in order to ensure that we're ready and prepared, and the vessels He needs us to be.

Mindset adjustments

* For the Lord to change our mentality, so that we have godly pride and know that what we are giving the world is valuable and precious, and that our commission to reach the world is a high one.
* To have the mindset of being an instant witness, and to let that motivate us in all that we do.
* Against any mindsets that would prevent us from diving fully into the offensive.
* For an "it can be done" mindset. Believing that anything that the Lord asks of us—as a Family, as a Home, as an individual—is possible. We can become anything that the Lord needs us to be and learn anything we need to learn to make the offensive a reality.

Improving our personal sample

* For a willingness to become one and forsake any personal or worldly trips that keep us from having the humility to do so.
* For each person to be willing to be the kind of sample that the Lord needs them to be in their dress, style, and outward appearance.
* That we will be willing to change in any way necessary so that we can better relate to and reach those that the Lord needs us to reach.

Individual preparation

* That everyone in the Family, of all ages, will find their place and be willing to fill their role as part of their winning team.
* Deep willingness and yieldedness, as individuals, to change, forsake our ruts, the ways we operate, and to learn new ways, methods, and skills.
* Against anything in our personal lives—such as strong ties to the world, lethargy, lack of faith, fears, lack of initiative, etc.—that would make us ineffective in the future.
* That each of us will be desperate to gain long-lasting victories in any areas of our lives that would hinder us during the offensive—such as comparing, jealousy, sensitivity, worldliness, compromise, etc.

Love you guys! Thanks for supporting me in prayer! It really IS the most you can do...:D

Back to business

OK, hi again. Been kinda slack with this because of Christmas vacations and all. But now we really need to get back to business! I think that a good idea for this month, or next little time, until someone thinks of something better, could be anyone who has personal prayer requests can post them up, and we will all be praying for them. It can be for whatever. But come on WE NEED LOTS OF POSTS! It is really kind of corny if there are just one or 2 people posting, I mean then this would just be a waste of time! But I know that this is not supposed to be a waste of time, but we need to have lots of people posting and getting this prayer ball really MOVING! Alright come on, let's do this! Let's pray up a storm that will blow the Enemy away! Aaron~

Happy New Year!!!

Well everybody, it is a New Year. The Lord has done awesome things for us this year. How about everyone post a comment about something cool that the lord has done for them this year? We could have a little praise chain. Jesus, thank you so much for all of the blessings in disguise that you have give me this year, that even though at the moment I couldn't imagine how it could be a blessing at the time. Thank you Jesus for the trials that make us purer gold, and more onfire for you than ever before! Aaron~
