Prayer Blog

"When evil is looming we can postpone its coming with our prayers, and when good is delayed, we can accelerate its coming with our prayers."

"One of the most profound ways you can love someone is by praying for them. Intercession does something very powerful in the intercessor: it joins the heart of the intercessor to the heart of the one being prayed for."

"The body of Christ doesn't work properly without the members praying for each other. Prayer is the immunity system of the body of Christ. Through prayer, we fight off the invasive forces that seek to disease and afflict the body. Prayerlessness in the body of Christ is akin to leprosy. In leprosy, the nerves stop functioning properly, no longer sending signals of pain to the brain... When the church does not feel pain with other suffering believers, it indicates the presence of "spiritual leprosy." The church's nerves are dead. What happens next is the church begins to lose body members. Pain signals the body to send help to the hurting member. Pain is absolutely necessary for the body to be able to repair itself and heal itself. Thus, pain is a gift. Intercession is a response to pain. We cry because we're in pain. Cries of intercession are the vehement cries of believers beseeching heaven on behalf of one another."

This summer I get to be part of a team of 13 young adults serving in Kenya, Africa. The team was put together by Waweza Movement (see wawezamovement.org). My desire is that we would be a team soaked in prayer and that everything we do would be covered in prayer as well. So, I thought I would make a blog to give everyone who wants to an opportunity to pray for us. :) I'll be posting scripture and prayer requests throughout the next couple months, so keep comin' back!

Grace and Peace,
