Good Morning Friends of God and Me! Amen! What love we know and get to share! What blessings and help we receive and share. We are on our way to being more like Jesus and doing the things He would do...and just as we are! Just think about that for awhile. We are sinners saved by grace because of God's great love and mercy. He allows us to join Him on His rescue mission and we get to go love, help others and point them to Jesus. We get to help make disciples that make disciples. That is our mission from Jesus. And we are well on our way to becoming a dynamic movement of God doing what we can with what and who we've been given! PTL! We are praying in the harvest as we prepare the soil of hearts in prayer and service and love. We are fertilizing, watering and even sowing in love. And God is grow a harvest and raising up harvest workers in us and harvest workers to come from the harvest. It's a blessed thing to watch and be a part of. Come join donut day  or dinner huddle prayed up and ready to fellowship, serve and love like Jesus. Then watch what God will do and is doing and lift many praises. may our lives and service be an act of worship that overflows from our time praying and preparing. Amen

Check out Harvest Kim's blog below  and meditate and pray through it and for the harvest. Then ask God what you can get to do to do your part. He has a plan just for you that will be your act of worship and obedience. Amen! Revival and the harvest are awaiting our prayers and acts of worship. Let us spur each other on, cover each other in prayer, prepare the soil of hearts with prayer and prayerfully go live and love and do our part to make disciples of Jesus and to teach them to walk in His ways. Amen! Don't forget we leave our active prayers behind when God calls us home. You may not see the fruit of your prayers and loving service , but Gid will continue to use them! Amen!

ARE YOUR PRAYERS THE KEY TO THE SALVATION OF OTHERS?

by Kim Butts

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44).

This verse became very personal for me one winter, shortly after I had given my life to Jesus. Clara, an older woman in my church, revealed that she had been praying for me daily for more than two years. She did not really know me, but she knew that I needed to give my heart to Christ. The significance of that moment did not hit me until I came face to face with John 6:44. Had God been drawing me while I was too busy to hear or pay attention? I could truthfully say that I had never known any other person who was interceding on my behalf. It made me ask, “What if she had not been praying for me?”

I believe that Clara’s prayers allowed my heart to be open to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Because she cried out to God for my soul, I now have everlasting life. God was patiently wooing me, but in my ignorance and pride, I already believed I was going to heaven because I was a “good person.” Clara prayed that I would bow my knee before the King of kings. As she did battle on my behalf, I began to soften my will before God, responding to His call to make His Son my Lord and Savior.

As you interact with the people in your own family, your friends, coworkers, fellow students, business associates, customers, or even the strangers you pass every day, have you ever considered whether or not anyone is praying for them?  What if your prayers could make the difference in someone’s eternity? Would this give new significance and urgency to your prayers? Begin to look at your relationships differently. Ask God to draw people to Himself so that they will be able to respond to His plans and purposes for their lives. Can you imagine some new possibilities for prayer in the moments of your every day, ordinary life that will make an extraordinary impact upon each person you come into contact with? Begin  to pray for the Father to draw the people you love, interact with or just pass by each day to Himself. We may never know until heaven how many lives have been opened to receive Christ because of our prayers.
