We need pray-ers
May 19, 2010
 Reach nights start tonight and I am really excited about it! Our goal for Reach Nights is to simply Reach Up to God in prayer and Reach Out to people around us with the gospel.
Tonight we are starting Reach Nights the way we, honestly, should begin everything - with prayer. I have been thinking a lot about prayer this week (I am preaching on it Sunday) & what hits me is how easily I can do things without prayer. The reason that is insane is because we can't do ANYTHING without prayer. Jesus tells us to pray "Your kingdom come". Should we really expect God's kingdom to advance in saving the lost in our community & world, in marriages, in our church, in our lives, if we don't pray? The answer is no. That is why we need pray-ers. Tonight, at 7pm, you can prayerwalk college street and the area around the Christian Life Center or you can stay for the prayer meeting at church. BOTH MATTER. BOTH ARE CRITICAL. So I am asking you to pick one & seek the face of God with us tonight. One of the things I have been thinking about regarding prayer this week is how much of a threat it is to Satan (I will talk about this more Sunday morning). Satan hates when Christian's pray & so he does everything he can to stop it. Think about how easy it is to disregard prayer or push it off "till later". Why does that happen? Because it is a threat to the enemy and his forces. Tonight, when we pray, we are asking God to push back the enemies work. We are collectively coming to God and asking him to be victorious in saving the lost and healing homes, people and our town and world. So tonight, we need pray-ers - both prayerwalking and here in the sanctuary. Hope to see you there!!!!
