Hey ya'll!!
Wow, this week has been SO wonderful! At church, we had Dave Young, an evangelist, come to our church to preach a revival. It is so uplifting to see how God moves through lives and changes a person's heart. Last night, the Lord really spoke to my heart. Dave Young preached about "Intercessory Prayer". Before last night, I had never heard of such a thing. Normally when I would pray, I would make it quick. But with intercessory prayer, I learned to be specific with my prayers. For example, on Wednesday nights at church, I would say "Please Lord, help the missionaries". Yes, that's fine, but it's better to be specific. "Please Lord, help the Johnson family in Cambodia with their ministry for You. I pray that you keep them motivated for You, Lord and I pray they won't be discouraged." Something like that.....more specific!
I was never good with prayer, and I would always make it fast, but I learned that to have a good prayer life, we should 1. Have time, 2. Make a list, and 3. Be specific so there's no doubt God answered the prayer(don't be general)
The Lord spoke to my heart last night and said, "Kelli, I want you to talk to Me as if you believe I am really here. I want you to come to Me for anything you need." And I have decided to add "intercessory" prayer into my life.
Well, there are 2 more days of the revival left, and I can NOT wait to go to church tonight and hear more preaching! I wish we had revival every day! Amen?! The Lord is good!
Oh, BTW, the memory verse for the Revival this week is James 4:8(the verse on my profile :o) )
Love, your sister in Christ,
Kelli
