Good Morning Abiding Warriors! Abiding in Christ Prayer warriors. One of my prayers is that would be me and all of you. Being still, listening, receiving, releasing in powerful prayer! Satan wranglers of Christ following in His ways! Amen! We abide, load up, release and follow as we go live, love and serve like Jesus and as we battle against the enemy. We know as we are pulling people from his grasp, he will be prowling about after us. But we just can't stop! Our mission is to go make disciples and rescue the lost. Although this sounds tedious, dangerous and like hard work, it need not be for Christ is with us always working all things together for good. He created you for such a time as this and has activated you to do your part. Plus He has gathered us with a full Body of believers that pray, encourage and serve together. Really that is Jesus' easy yoke He invites us weary ones to put on and then to walk with Him in. And that is a joy that brings peace to our souls and impacts the world around us for good. We are finishing up 1 John
. He reminds the new generation of believers that God is Light, Love and Life and assures them of their eternity with Him as they trust, obey and follow the Jesus way. That's our call too. Love God. Follow Jesus. And enjoy life! I pray that all falls into place for you and us. God does have great plans for us! Let's boldly and joyfully receive them and step into them. I'm praying for you! Doing what we can with what we've been giving, loving God and people and enjoying life! Sounds pretty good to me! (Check out the devos below relating to all this as you abide and load up for

Upper Room: God's Help
The Lord will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. - Psalm 121:7-8 (NIV)
At one time in my life, I was surrounded by many social and economic issues. I was stressed day and night, and it was quite unbearable. When I tried to handle the problems on my own, it only seemed to make things worse. I felt helpless.
Then one day I received a call from a man of God who asked me to join a prayer meeting. Even though the meeting was at a location far away from me, I decided to go. When I arrived, I was heavily burdened. I joined the group in worship and prayer, and as I did so, I began to receive peace in my heart and my heaviness was gone. I believe God led me to that place.
Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28, KJV). God can perform miracles when we think there is no way forward. We can trust God to help us in all our circumstances.
's PrayerGracious and loving God, thank you for strengthening us to face difficult situations. We pray in the name of the One who saves the world and whose grace is abundant. Amen.
