September 2014
The theme for this month is:
We can't live as we should without the Holy Spirit.

Scriptures:
Romans 8: 16 The Holy Spirit speaks deep in our hearts that we are God's children.
Romans 12: 2 Let God transform you by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect God's will really is.



What we are praying for:
Pray that everyone in our community and the Downtown Core will gain a hunger to search for God, and that they will open their hearts to receive the Holy Spirit so they will know God.
Mathew 5:6 Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied.
Pray Ephesians 1: 17-19, That by the Holy Spirit we will receive understanding of the truth.

God, forgive us here in North America for trying to live by our own strength and our own understanding. Help us to repent and yield to the power of your holy Spirit. Help us to repent and let the Holy Spirit empower us to do what you want us to do. Your power, your strength, your wisdom, your will, your way. Amen.

Prayer for current events:
Peace in Ukraine. Peace in the middle East. All civilians caught in the fighting find a safe place of refuge and a chance to restore their lives.
We continue to pray that the Ebola virus will be contained.


Taken from My New Day's interview with Corey Russell:

I Corinthians 2: It's only by the Holy Spirit that we could know what's on God's heart or mind, or know what the will of God is.
2 Corinthians 5: 17 A new life has begun!
Ephesians 2: 10  We are a new creation in Christ so we can do things that God has planned for us to do.

Words of encouragement:
The greatest words that will change your life are your own.
God has given us everything we need for life and Godliness. <2 Peter 1:3>
Guard your words. Do not minimize what the Holy Spirit is doing. <One example is complaining.>< also Psalm 141 : 3 >

How to access the power of the Holy Spirit:
Meditate on the Word Of God, pray it back to God.
Talk to the Holy Spirit, fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Galations 5, 2 Corinthians 13:14
Pray in The Holy Spirit, pray in tongues.

Other scriptures I've found on the fellowship of the holy Spirit:
Mathew 13:11 Jesus said that His disciples have been permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven.
John 14 : 15-31 Jesus promises the Holy Spirit.
john 16: 13 The Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth.
2 Corinthians 13:13 ...may the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Romans 8: 9 You are in the Spirit if the Spirit lives in you.
Philippians 2: 1-2 The Holy Spirit brings unity among the believers.
Romans 8: 26-27 The Holy Spirit intercedes for us.

Thank you for joining in this month's prayers. May God give you more understanding of your purpose and talents in this life. God give you peace and joy!
