Romans 15:13

 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and 

peace in believing, so that by the power 

of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 15:13 ESV

The specific prayer requests from the Allens:

"Please pray specifically that the graft versus host disease would leave his body. Pray that Jesus would fill Donnie’s lungs with his breath and that he would be able to breathe with no problems. 

Please also pray for me (Amanda) if you would. I have been experiencing great anxiety and not able to eat well. My fears have been getting the best of me. I need to be able to stay healthy and strong so I can be there and good for Donnie."  Update: The past couple of days have been really bad for Donnie and Amanda. Please pray with all your heart. Amanda wrote, "Please pray for comfort for our kids and peace in my heart with the Lord. Please pray for healing upon Donnie’s body with no pain. Please pray the GVHD would be put to rest and we can praise God for a miracle."

Please pray for the physical healing of B.F., M.W., T.F., C.W.

Pray for the mental healing of D. (I don't know her last name, but she desperately needs to seek help for her condition).

Pray for the spiritual healing of all who have been bombarded lately in a battle of spiritual warfare, including L. and C. 

If you would like to add anyone to the list, please send me their first initial, or both and what type of healing they need. God is good. He hears our prayers.

Psalm 4:6-8

 

There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?

    Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”

You have put more joy in my heart

    than they have when their grain and wine abound.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; 

    for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Perfect peace

 

We have specific prayer requests from the Allens:

"Please pray specifically that the graft versus host disease would leave his body. Pray that Jesus would fill Donnie’s lungs with his breath and that he would be able to breathe with no problems. 

Please also pray for me (Amanda) if you would. I have been experiencing great anxiety and not able to eat well. My fears have been getting the best of me. I need to be able to stay healthy and strong so I can be there and good for Donnie." 

***

Have you ever experienced "perfect peace"? I believe that I have during certain points of my life. Every experience of perfect peace followed a time of getting closer to God, listening to Him, and understanding His will for what He wants me to do.

     How often do you set aside time to listen? I know many people who are excellent and faithful pray-ers, but very few realize that they need to sit still and listen for a response.

     When we pray, we are engaging in a conversation with our Heavenly Father, but if we don't take time to listen for His response, then we're simply engaging in a monologue. Trust in Him to answer. It may not be an immediate response, but give Him that space anyway. Trust in Him. He will provide perfect peace. He is our Rock of Ages.

You will keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on You,

Because he trusts in You.

Trust in the Lord forever,

For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.*

Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV

*"everlasting strength" means "Rock of Ages"

Please be in prayer for the continued healing of D.A., and ask for peace, comfort, encouragement and strength for his wife, A.A.

Please pray for the physical healing of B.F., M.W., T.F., C.W.

Pray for the mental healing of D. (I don't know her last name, but she desperately needs to seek help for her condition).

Pray for the spiritual healing of all who have been bombarded lately in a battle of spiritual warfare, including L. and C. 

If you would like to add anyone to the list, please send me their first initial, or both and what type of healing they need. God is good. He hears our prayers.

Praise and worship

 

Praising God this morning for all of the healing He did over the weekend! Yesterday I asked you to pray for our brother in Christ, Donnie Allen. About mid-day we received a message that he was taken off of the ventilator and put on an oxygen mask and that he was alert and responsive! Hallelujah!
     Another brother in Christ was released from the hospital yesterday.
     There are so many more who need our continued, fervent prayers for physical, mental, and spiritual healing. Since the condition of those we love has a ripple effect on friends, family, neighbors, etc., I would also like to focus our prayers on asking for and praising God for the peace and comfort He offers all who follow Him.
     Please be in prayer for the continued healing of D.A., and ask for peace, comfort, encouragement and strength for his wife, A.A.
Please pray for the physical healing of B.F., M.W., T.F., C.W.
Pray for the mental healing of D. (I don't know her last name, but she desperately needs to seek help for her condition).
Pray for the spiritual healing of all who have been bombarded lately in a battle of spiritual warfare, including L. and C.
If you would like to add anyone to the list, please send me their first initial, or both and what type of healing they need. God is good. He hears our prayers.

     God uses these difficult times to bring Him glory, to bring us closer to Him. Sometimes He uses suffering to reveal something to us. Always it accomplishes His purposes. Donnie said that "God uses suffering to show us how Christ suffered for us."
     We're not promised tomorrow, so fill your day doing whatever you do as if it is for Him.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. 

In the world you will have tribulation. 

But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 ESV

Generosity

 

Because of the generosity and support of Southern Baptists, through the Lottie Moon Christmas offering, God's word is being spread all over the globe.
     Our missionaries who have been able to stay abroad through the pandemic are especially thankful for the support they've received from the U.S. so that they can continue to share the gospel. They've come up with creative means during the past 9-10 months to keep the mission work moving forward even during times of isolation. Read their stories of thankfulness by clicking here.

Prayer requests:

PRAISE GOD for the continued work of Southern Baptists who have remained committed to reaching the lost for more than 175 years.
ASK GOD to send more individuals and churches who will be committed to the vision of reaching all nations and all peoples with the gospel.
THANK GOD for sustaining the work of missionaries through all circumstances, including the most recent global pandemic.

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 ESV

Embolden us

 

It's taken a number of years, but missionaries among the unreached people groups of South Asia are seeing some fruit from their labors. Luciano and Sofia Serrano* from Brazil are working with Ralph and Lovie Adair from IMB. The missionaries are working with local Christians to encourage them to spread the Good News with the Muslims of the area. Read their full story by clicking here.

* (Names changed)

Prayer requests:
PRAY local Christians would be bold in sharing the gospel with the Khaleela.
ASK for discernment for the Adairs and the Serranos as they share the gospel and train local Christians.
PRAY the Lord would send more Christian workers to partner with the Serranos and Adairs.

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Building relationships

 

Pray for the Worthy family who has been planting churches throughout Italy over the last 17 years. They've done this by working with local and U.S. pastors and by building relationships with nationals who have, in turn, built relationships that have made spreading the gospel throughout the country a reality. Read their full story by clicking here.

Prayer requests:

PRAY that the Worthys will continue to build strong relationships in Italy.

PRAY that many Italians will come to faith in Christ as a result of the Worthys’ witness.

PRAY that new Italian believers will gather into churches to reach the people of Italy with the gospel.

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

In memoriam

 

Pray for the safety of the men, women, and children who serve as missionaries. Let's also pray for those who have lost their lives while serving the Lord; their families and friends who mourn.

At Missions College, there is a wall of names listing everyone who has died while in the field. It's very sobering. They sacrifice so much, as it is. Please take a few minutes to read today's topic (click here), and/or watch the video, then pray with me.

Prayer requests:

THANK GOD for the men and women who, with their children, have traveled to the ends of the earth to share the gospel with those who have never heard.

THANK GOD for the uninterrupted witness of Southern Baptists among the nations for 175 years.

ASK GOD to continue to protect missionaries and their families serving in cross-cultural and often difficult areas around the globe.

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Pray for tribes in Peru

 

Join me in praying for Joe Brewster, a missionary who works with the Akawa*, an unreached tribal people group in Peru. Joe and his team work with an indigenous church planter, Edwin Blanco* and his team to spread the gospel to the Akawa. With some help from the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, Edwin and company were able to finance a plan where they could become self-sustaining, financially, assuring their ability to continue with this ministry. For more information, click here.

*Name changed for security reasons

Prayer requests:

PRAY for Joe, Edwin, and their teams as they share the gospel with the Akawa.

PRAY that many members of the Akawa will come to faith in Jesus.

PRAY that new Akawa believers will gather into groups and start churches.

Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

For more information, click here.

Prayer requests:

PRAY none of the new Christians would fall away from the faith.

PRAY those who have yet to decide will choose to commit their lives to Christ.

PRAY for the formation of healthy churches in Baan Po.

Pray for a radio station in Croatia

 

This week of prayer may look a little different than normal. I'm an IMB Prayer Champion which simply means that I've volunteered to try to inspire my church and others to pray for missionaries, the unengaged and the unreached people groups of the world. Starting yesterday, November 29th through next Sunday, December 6th, is the Week of Prayer for International Missions. IMB has put together a wonderful collection of resources for this event, including a sheet that highlights one missionary, staff, and people group each day. That sheet includes a written version of their story, photos and a video. I'll share some information each day about the missionary/people group, their prayer requests, and the video, as well as the link to the sheet so that you can dig deeper if you like.
     Paul Chitwood, director of IMB wrote, "Please join me in praying that our missional reach might expand, as we await a multitude too great to number; a great multitude + you."

***

Today we're praying for missionary Eric Maroney, his wife, Julie, and their team in Zagreb, Croatia, where they've developed a radio ministry. Click here for the full sheet of information.

Day 2: Gospel Fills the Airwaves from IMB on Vimeo.

Prayer requests:

PRAY that more national partners will choose to be a part of sharing the gospel across Croatia.

PRAY that more church plants will result from the radio broadcast ministry.

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Lost sheep

 

Each one of our unsaved children is like a lost sheep. God will go after the one that is lost. Keep praying until they are found.

Faith from hearing

 

I have been so encouraged these past few days (prayer works!), not necessarily in seeing any of these children come to salvation, although I have faith and am thoroughly convinced that God will choose them to come to Him, and they will accept the free gift of salvation. My encouragement has been in sharing. 

     This past week, whenever an opening came up, even if it wasn't clear cut, it seemed like God gave me the exact words to say. I'm sure He's done that in the past, but I have usually chickened out, or been nervous to the point that my words came out sounding weak and without conviction. So I have acted on all of these impulses this week and do you know what happened??? Most of the time, it started a conversation. A few times, it didn't; there was just dead silence. But what I've built up in my mind, I guess what I've feared ... being met with anger and resentment, has not happened. I guess when we listen to God, things work out positively for His good and for His glory.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Our household

 

Today's verses, if taken out of context might give us the false hope that if one of us believes and is saved, then our entire household is also saved. But, we can't look at scripture as isolated verses (even though, argumentably, that's what I'm doing here. Rest assured, I check out the context before posting (most of the time.)). I do feel like this can give us hope, though. Peter went into a Roman's home, which just wasn't done back then, because he was called to share the gospel with Cornelius, the centurion, and his entire household. 

he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’

Acts 11:14 ESV

     All who were in Cornelius' household, wife, children, servants, guests, etc. heard the gospel and were saved. Likewise, we can hope that all of those in our household have heard the gospel and will, at some point, believe. If we've been bold in our task of sharing the gospel, we know they've heard it. If we haven't been, let's pray for the opportunity and encouragement to do so.

     Later, Paul and Silas were in prison and one night they were singing hymns and praying. There was an earthquake and all of the cell doors were opened, and the prisoners' chains were loosed. When the guard awoke and saw this, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because a guard who allowed his prisoners to escape would have been humiliated and then killed. Paul cried out to him to stop. They hadn't escaped; they were all still there. The guard fell to his knees before Paul and Silas and then brought them out. 

Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:30-31 ESV

     Roman guards and their families were saved. Paul, of all people, was saved. Never give up praying that our children will someday also be saved. God is good.

Let's pray fervently for them! Ask God to soften their hearts to the hearing of the Good News. Pray that He calls them to follow Him. Pray that He sends people to them that they will listen to and that they will desire to seek Him.

Holy children

I chose this photo because it reminded me of today's verse. This soldier is protecting these children. He carries a gun to keep the enemy at bay. We, as believing parents, are protecting our children. We carry a bible and pray unceasingly to keep the enemy at bay.
     I'm always looking for reassurances in the Bible. Today's verse may be more for young children, those who've not yet reached the age of accountability, but it still gives me hope. I read a lot of commentaries and rather than quote everyone, I'll just provide these links:

Tip: Once you're there, hit Ctrl+F and in the find box type:
e. Otherwise your children

This will take you to the commentary of this verse.

Keep praying. Help is on the way.

For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

1 Corinthians 7:14 ESV

Reassurances

 

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 

1 Timothy 2:1,3-6 NIV

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

2 Peter 3:9 ESV

Please pray for the salvation of these adult children:

Our children

 

A dear friend who is also a sister in Christ and I had a wonderful, heartfelt conversation yesterday. It is a burden that so many of us share, ... our unsaved children. The heartache is compounded because we feel responsible like it's because of something we did or didn't do in raising them that has caused them to turn their back on Jesus.
     We can't help but think of them, even picture them living in hell for all eternity. It keeps us up at night. We obsess about it. We've spent years praying about it to seemingly no avail.
     The worse thing is, we feel helpless to do anything about it. We know that the mere mention of God or Jesus or even church can bring about an onslaught of rage and phrases like, "Quit forcing your beliefs on me!" "Accept me for who I am!" or just, "I don't want to hear it!" Sometimes they even threaten to distance themselves from us.
     What are we to do?
     I'm here to tell you that no matter how many years you've prayed for their salvation, don't give up. Never give up! We're told:

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

James 5:16b NKJV
     Additionally, I've seen this work! I pray for their hearts to be softened, for opportunities to plant seeds, for others to come into their lives whom they will listen to.
     One woman at our church and her husband were actually told by their son and daughter-in-law that if they even mentioned Jesus around them then they wouldn't be able to see their grandchild. That seems like a no-win situation. They had to be true to their faith. Their son and DIL's hearts softened, but the really miraculous thing was that their DIL told this woman that a man came to her door one day and told her that she could give all her burdens up to Christ. She asked her mother-in-law if that was true and they were able to have a conversation!
     My step-daughter would get angry if her father mentioned anything about religion but we kept praying for her. One day, seemingly out of the blue she asked him which bible would be best for her to get?
     I have so many stories like this, so I know prayer works. Keep praying!

For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, 

everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

Acts 2:39 ESV

Please pray for the salvation of:
T.S.
E.W.
L.R.
E.M.(1)
E.M.(2)

R.H.
M.R.
