August 2014
The theme this month is God the restorer wants to restore us to our faith and ourselves. 
That means healing within, accepting ourselves and accessing God's Power and strength.

For those praying for our community, our world, here are some inspiring scripture verses with my take on them:
Isaiah 43: 1-13
We are God's! Don't be afraid. God has chosen us for this purpose. God hears our prayers, after all we are praying what's on God's heart and God will work through those prayers!  v 7, v 10a

Ephesians 1:19,20
I pray that you know your place in this life and understand and access the power of God that is available to you in your daily lives. This power does work through prayer!

2 Corinthians 3: 7 - 18
The new covenant of faith in Christ which makes us right with God is far more glorious that the old covenant of following the law. ( the new law is the law of love) Whenever the law was read, a veil covered the minds of the people so they could not understand the truth. This veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. When the veil is removed we become like mirrors reflecting Christ. The Spirit works in us to become more and more like Christ. Whenever anyone turns to Christ then the veil is taken away and the Holy Spirit gives freedom and understanding.


What we are praying for this month:
The scripture verse is: Joel 2: 18 - 32
The Lord says: I will give you back what you lost.Then you will know that I am among you and that I alone am your God. And you will never again be disgraced or shamed. I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. They will come out, some prophesying, others testifying of my love. Then you will surely know that I am the one doing this. I will pour out my Spirit on all the community, both men and women alike!

God is a God of restoration and wants to restore every person to joy, peace and wholeness. God wants to give us a name that is revered throughout the world. We do belong. We belong to God, to each other, to the family of God. We are all God's children and we all deserve the love and respect that comes with that.
Let's pray that people in the LGBTQ Community respond to God's Spirit and see the blessings that God has for them. Pray that each individual will experience wholeness and know who they are.

The chain reference for Joel 2: 28
Zechariah: 12 - 10
God is saying ; After I deliver those in the community I will pour out my Spirit of grace and prayer. They will weep for their sins and for all the hurt they received unjustly and then rejoice that I have delivered them just as I said I would. I am the God of restoration! I will wipe away all tears, all pain and all the shame that was placed upon them unjustly! I will refresh everyone like the dew in the morning!
John 7: 39
Jesus said to believe in Him and rivers of living water will flow from deep within.
God wants to free us within so that love and peace can freely flow through us.
Let's pray that God heals the hearts and minds of everyone in the LGBTQ Community, so that they know they are loved and the love and peace of God can flow through them. 

Theme song: It Shall Come To Pass, Jim Glaab, all rights reserved.
" Yes the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. You shall see rivers of living water flowing freely here. And you shall have peace, and be still."

Prayer for current events:
Let's continue to pray for all who are persecuted for their sexuality, faith, race, all persecution over the world. Let's continue to pray for peace in the middle east, that those in authority will stop the bloodshed and resolve peacefully. Pray for those infected with the ebola virus and their families. Pray that the virus is contained and a cure is found.

Thank you all for joining in the monthly prayers.
God answer your needs always!
