Oh what a glorious day!! Man, compared to the last time we fasted and prayed, I did much better this time. HOw about you all? Sue? Did you stay away from those dairy drinks???

No more cappuchino for you!
It was really cool to chat with Cat this morning on IM and share a bit. For me it was a day encouraging people with incoming phonecalls of people who needed to talk and needed an ear that listened. Very cool opportunities.
Cat, I'm so glad that you brought this up again and rallied us to prayer!
Thank you!
Lord Jesus,
I thank you for this day, a day to set aside to pray for the needs of our friends. Lord I thank you for Cat and her vision and determination to get us all back in prayer for the ministers of this band as well as for each other. I thank You for Sue, who has never given up and always believes in the purpose of the calling YOu have given her - to follow her big dream.
I thank you for Bridget and her availability and willingness to write John's book, for the talent You have given her to do so.
I thank you for MJ, for his enduring patience and gift of love that he has poured in towards John's website. Thank You, Lord, for giving him this vision and the ability to know what to do. He has been a blessing for me in my own website and for that blessing I thank You.
I thank you for John and for the kindness he always has for everyone that wants to talk to him. Thank You for giving him patience and your love to spread about. Thank You that You shine through him and will continue to do so and for shaping his voice for the glory of Your kingdom.
Lord I am so grateful for all these my friends, because each and every one of them has played a very very important part in my life. I pray, dear Lord that You would grant every person on this board friends like these above, because it's an awesome thing to have godly people who are in your corner to encourage, uplift you and keep you on the path of righteousness.
Father therefore I pray - for all their different ministries - that You would breathe life into their individual callings - just like You did with the bones in Ezekiel 37!
May Your Word go forth prophesy to us all and may we hear the Word of the Lord. May our faith be the sinews that regrow, our trust in You the flesh that grows, our hope in You the covering of skin and may Your Holy Spirit be the breath that makes us come to life! Pour out Your Spirit upon all these friends - pour it out upon all of us who trust You and call You Lord.
I pray for John's future ministry, that he will be blessed when he comes in and blessed when he goes out. Blessed in the country and blessed in the city and may all that he puts his hands to prosper. Remind him that he is called and that You will fullfill that calling so that all the people of the earth may know that YOu are God, because whereever you send John, and he sings, preaches and proclaims Your Name, that You will be glorified before all nations, peoples, tribes and tongues.
Open up for all these my friends your good storehouse, the heavens and give rain to their land in due season and bless all the work of their hands so that they shall lend to many and that they shall not have to borrow. Provide for their needs, wants and dreams, financially, spiritually, physically and emotionally. Keep them all within Your hands and I pray for a hedge of protection around them so that the darts of the enemy will not hinder them in any way. That their focus is upon the task and not upon the negative and that the confession of their mouths will be according to Your will and Word.
Thank You again for this day. Thank You for all that have prayed, for all that have fasted. Bless their efforts and hear our prayers. Thank You Lord that we may come before You and bring our petitions, prayers and praises. We glorify Your Name. AMEN
