<\/a><\/p>\nI believe this statement and am coming to understand it more and more.\u00a0 How easy it is to become so busy that the very thing that empowers our efforts is pushed to the side.\u00a0 Like taking a cross-country road trip and getting so busy driving you neglect the flashing fuel gauge and fail to pull over for gas.\u00a0 No matter how much effort you put into driving, you\u2019re not going to get far.\u00a0 One way or another, you\u2019re going to stop.<\/p>\n
We are called to be prayer warriors!\u00a0 Suited up in the full armor of God, raising the shield of faith, using the Sword of the Spirit, standing firm together and fighting our common spiritual enemy.\u00a0 Are you ready for the fight?\u00a0 Are you ready to engage the enemy…to stand firm by kneeling together?<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t encourage you enough to get into the fight!\u00a0 Do not fail in your calling because you fail to pray.\u00a0 Please join me for at least one of the two opportunities we are providing for focused prayer each week.\u00a0 The Chapel will be open each Wednesday from noon until 1:00 (of course you can stay later if the Spirit is moving) and again from 6:30 – 8:00PM.\u00a0 You are welcome to come to the church at any time during regular office hours to pray if you need a quiet place, as well.\u00a0 The point is, whatever it takes for you to get serious about plugging into the power of the Spirit through prayer, do it.\u00a0 Let\u2019s not fail as a church because we\u2019re so focused on ministry, we neglect the One who has both given and empowers the ministry we are trying to accomplish!<\/p>\n
