Fall In

Fall officially rolled in a little after noon today. The forecast is around 80 all week so the transition should be easier. What a beautiful summer though.

Week three of The House God Loves yesterday was "What Prayer Accomplishes." Prayer brings Power. Prayer brings Brokenness. Prayer helps us Overcome.

I bookended the sermon with two Scriptures:
1. James 5:17-18 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
2. Acts 4:13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

God isn't looking for the next superstar, He's looking for people just like us who are available. Elijah was a man just like us. (James 5) Peter and John were unschooled and ordinary (Acts 4). But as they prayed, were filled with the Holy Spirit, and sought God's kingdom, God did the miraculous. God's looking. Are you willing to pray?

Be Refreshed!


Proverb of the Day: Proverbs 22:11 He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend.

Scripture of the Day: 1 Corinthians 1:26 26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

Quote of the Day: "The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men---men of prayer." E. M. Bounds
