I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe” (Eph. 1:18–19a).When you hear the word ‘lift’ what comes to mind? What I am referring to in my title is to lift the people up in prayer. For instance this verse would be an ideal verse to pray over your children, spouse, grandchildren.Do you have a place in your home you specifically go and have morning time with God? It is good to make it a priority to have a certain area and then to commit to doing it. In the movie ‘War Room’ the war room referred to this ladies prayer closet where she went to fight battles against the enemy. If you don’t do this then it may sound strange or if your particular religious denomination is pretty tame or formal then you might think I sound nutty.It doesn’t matter what denomination you are you need to pray to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, not to a statue, not to Mary(sorry that may come back to bite me), not to a Saint, not to angels, but to the creator of the Universe. In him we live, move and have our being. If you don’t know the Lord yet I mean really sincerely know him and love him and desire to spend time with Him then it may be time to search your heart to see if you have made anything else an idol over the Lord.PRAYER: Father today I hear your voice and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me. Help any persons whose religion has gotten in the way of knowing Jesus to cry out to Him today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Becky: A local friend of mine and I have shared prayer requests for quite some time. We now realize that there are a lot of needs out there in the world. Our church's food pantry asks the clients if they have any prayer requests that our church can pray about. The pastor emails them to the food pantry staff and to the prayer group.
