Week of July 10

Waiting on God

Sowing our Prayer… Reaping the Spirit

The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.   

-A.W. Tozer

Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival; men whose faith is large enough, and their love fiery enough to lead them from this moment to exercise unceasing intercessions that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.

- Charles Spurgeon

Monday	Ephesians 6:10-18
Tuesday	Romans  8: 26-27
Wednesday	Ephesians 1:19-23
Thursday	Luke 18:1-8
Friday	1 Timothy 2:1-8
Saturday	James 5:13-18

Prayer is our method of combat.  Prayer is our fight.  Prayer is our connection to the one who makes everything move.  Prayer is our connection to the King, the Commander.  What if we were more like the description of people in the quote by Charles Spurgeon above?  What if we protected the church like the A.W. Tozer quote describes?  What would our church look like then?

 Remember to pray for the Spirit to clarify the mission for Oak Chapel and for the Spirit to give us the power to work in this mission, in this will of God.
