To Do, or Not To Do?

I really need to make a decision whether or not I'm going to blog or if I need to just scratch this whole thing. I just feel like this is so time consuming for me. Lame, I know! I've also mentioned how I'm not a writer and the thought of people judging my punctuation frightens me. ( :  It's just easier to post a picture on FB and write a comment about who or what is going on in the picture. I like "easy"!

But, I'm sorta feeling like the Lord is wanting me to share some things from my heart. Things that he has put there by the Word and the Holy Ghost. So I think I'll do this for a while and see how it goes.

I've had the privilege this Spring and Summer to teach on prayer in our church. And not only did I teach, but we prayed as well! Our times of prayer have been very powerful, very sweet, very precious and very timely. We are not only seeing some of the things we've prayed for come to pass, but we are learning to flow IN THE SPIRIT.

              Praying always with all prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching               
             thereunto with all the perseverance and supplication for all saints. Ephesians 6:18

"In the Spirit" isn't a way you pray, necessarily, but it is a place from which you pray from. Jesus said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer..." (Luke 19:46)  It's who we are! We are the house of prayer! And, we've been brought back into fellowship with our heavenly Father because of what Jesus did. Jesus became completely separated from his Father so that we could pray. It's Jesus wonderful!

Prayer doesn't have to be this drudgery, hard task, that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But, when you learn to team up with the Holy Ghost and listen to him and flow with him, you can change the spiritual make-up of your home, church, town, city, state, nation and nations from the very chair you sit in. Now, that's powerful! Prayer is the driving force behind everything He does in this earth. That's why it's important that we first of all learn how to pray, then pray. As we do, we'll start to see a moving of the Holy Ghost in such a way than we've ever seen before.

Great Book!

I've decided that instead of reading new books this year, I need to get out the one's I already own and re-read them. It's amazing what you miss or didn't see because you couldn't wrap your heart and mind around some of those truths at the time. This is a great book and I'm excited to dig back into it!

New Year

Okay, I'm gonna try something new with the blog this year. I think I might write (I use that word loosely since I'm really not a writer.) a little about me. Not a lot, just some things God is doing in my life, and in the church. I'll trust God to help me flow from my heart and we'll go from there.

Anywho...I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a wonderful 2011 full of God's blessings!
