Prayer and Friends

When you can call a friend who will drop what she’s doing, bow and pray with you and for you – that is a reason to give thanks!

I have such friends. 
I am grateful! 

We have heard Prayer Changes Things. 
And it does but what prayer mostly changes is PEOPLE. 
The ones praying and the ones being prayed for. 

Do you have such friends? 
If you do then you know what I mean and you are giving thanks. 

Acts 12 NLT

 4 Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover. 5 But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.  source

The Church prayed and GOD did a Jailbreak!

Carpet Color?

Have you as I often heard or even said yourself, ‘we can agree to disagree?”

I have come to think that is not Biblical.
I have yet to find an address in Scripture that says we are allowed to agree to disagree.
Example.
Paul and Barnabas had such a disagreement they parted company.
They did not agree to disagree.
Their disagreement had to do with John Mark. (Don’t you just love that name? John Mark. Sounds like his mama could have yelled that out the backdoor so well.)
Paul did not want John Mark to go along on their next missionary journey and Barnabas did.
Check it out HERE.
Sometime later Paul changed his mind about John Mark. (2 Timothy 4:11)
So perhaps he and Barnabas came to a time they could keep company again even before they got to Heaven.
I hope so.

It is the will of the Father that His children be of one accord. (See Acts 2)

Scripture asks us this question:

Amos 3:3  (NKJV) 3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? source

In the Body of Christ, we don’t get to agree to disagree over Sin.
We don’t get to agree to disagree over Scripture.
We get to come together in one accord and pray until we KNOW what GOD has said and we both agree with HIM which puts us in agreement with one another.

Red carpet or Blue carpet?
Really? Are we going to divide the Body over that?!
For these kinds of matters to bring us to hot words and slamming doors means we have far, far, far uglier problems in our hearts than carpet color.download (6)

Spring Forward

Luke 14:25  (NKJV)
25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them,  source

This verse is speaking of Yeshua, of course.
Multitudes followed Him to hear Him preach. 

After Jesus’ resurrection, ascension, and Holy Spirit had come the Disciples preached.

Acts 2:41 (AMP) 
41 So then, those who accepted his message were baptized; and on that day about 3,000 souls were added [to the body of believers]. source

Acts 2:46-47 (NKJV) 
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. source

Acts 4:4  (AMP) 4 But many of those who heard the message [of salvation] believed [in Jesus and accepted Him as the Christ]. And the number of the men came to be about 5,000.  source

Spring forward from Century 1 to now the 21st Century – what happened? 
Multitudes followed Yeshua to hear what He would say.
Thousands upon thousands, even 3,000 in a day heard Peter preach and believed The Gospel. They got SAVED.

Where are the multitudes in the 21st Century being CHANGED by The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST? 
What happened? 

Will you pray?
Will you pray according to Luke 10:2?

Luke 10:2  (AMP) 
2 He was saying to them, “The harvest is abundant [for there are many who need to hear the good news about salvation], but the workers [those available to proclaim the message of salvation] are few. Therefore, [prayerfully] ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest. source
