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.
