1. From the prayer calendar May 22 – Rob Consoli: Pray that Rob will keep faith as his stronghold, knowing that his protection comes from God. Pray for focus and attention on those he will be serving. Pray and believe that his spiritual gifts will become evident on the trip. John 17:11 “I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.” I love what Francis Chan says in Crazy Love about God’s protection “…God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.”
2. From the prayer calendar May 23 – Peter Fleming: Pray for Gods anointing and unfailing love to be poured out on him. Believe that God has a perfect plan and will show Himself strong on this trip. Keep Peter focused on the strength and power of God, and protect his spirit, heart and mind. Rev. 19:16 “On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” This section of Revelations is titled “The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast.” At this point in Revelations the battles lines have been drawn and the greatest confrontation ever is about to begin. But before the war can even start “the beast was captured”; there was no battle because Jesus had already provided the victory on the cross. Isn’t it wonderful to know that we all have won the war before even the first battle will occur?
Right now even as we prepare to leave in 3 weeks God is preparing the way for us; He is preparing hearts; we have won; we have victory. Now He just wants us to do our part – share His wonderful love. We don’t have to be worried about the outcome that is in God’s hands – we aren’t responsible for who chooses to accept Christ. We just have to be obedient and do our part.
