A method of prayer

Has your prayer life gotten dry? Perhaps you can organize your prayer into specific sections to help.
Back in the day, Jewish people entered the outer courts only while praising God.
So anytime you go into prayer, begin by entering with praise. Praise Him for what He has done.
After the Jewish people entered the outer courts they went to the altar where sacrifice was made. For us, we should focus on the cross after praising and thank God for salvation in Jesus.
Then it was the laver, where people washed themselves. Pray for cleansing of your ears, eyes, etc to be renewed, and used for His glory.
Then there was the manora, a candle stick and it was the only source of light in the Holy of holies. Invite the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit is the fuel for the light. Who is the light? You are the light! Jesus said “you are the light of the world”.
Then there was the table of show bread. The high priest could eat the show bread. Claim the promises of God. Eat the Word. While praying, claim the promises of God over your life and read the Word. Matt 4:4
Then there was the altar of incense. The incense went up to God. During your prayer, worship God. Worship Him for who He is.
Then there was the Ark of the Covenant. This is where the priest was interceding on behalf of the people. Intercede for others. 1 Tim 2:1-2

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

Awesome night in Elgin...

Last night, many good friends (Jordan, Stephanie, Gabe, Jane, Daniel, Vanessa, Lauren, Amy), Jessica, and I went to Bangkok House in Elgin, to celebrate Jessica's birthday. The fellowship was awesome and the food was delicious. Afterwards, we listened to live music next door, at an Italian restaurant, where the guys and girls sat separately. I don't know what the girls talked about, but we laughed a lot while talking about funny scenes in parody films, making funny gestures and noises, and practicing math when the bill came. Even later, while walking each other to our cars, we also met 3 good friends, who were homeless, at a park in Elgin. We talked to the about God, about their life, and prayed. One of the friends, named Ricky, asked Jordan to read Jeremiah 1. I encourage you to read the awesome chapter for yourself. If I remember well, Ricky also said to let God tell us about Himself, and not to find our own interpratations . It was a Blessed night!
