THANK YOU! And Please Pray for 40 Days For Life!!

Thank you ladies for all the wonderful prayers and help you offered during the difficult time I experienced last week. Thankfully it has passed, and left me with a couple of very distinct impressions from the Lord. One - the most important thing is what God thinks of me, not man. Unfortunately, I can be somewhat of a man pleaser. I don't like to think of myself that way, but it is true in more situations than I care to admit. He is leading me toward His path, and I have hung on to a more wordly and traveled path, unfortunately to make certain people in my life happy, and because of my own fear. Which leads to the second area that has to do with His path - the desire to build the kingdom of God has now became greater than the desire to build myself in the world. This has been a struggle for about a year now. Kind of like being stuck on a seesaw, going up and down! It is a miserable position to be in, but now there is great peace! Which leads to where the Lord is placing me at this time, a Pro-Life Organization called 40 Days for Life. It is a peaceful, prayerful grassroots organization that began a few years ago and has now spread to many cities and a few countries. There are two specific prayer times,(one in the fall and one in the spring), where abortion clinics are covered in prayer (physically by people going there) for 40 days , during hours of operation, if not more. Ladies, it started today, February 25, and will continue until April 5. Please, please go to the website and see if there is a group near you praying, and to obtain more information on what they have accomplished and want to accomplish. You can sign up online for whatever hours you can pray. The website is www.40daysforlife.com, or click on the link on my sidebar. Even if there is not a group nearby, you can still pray everyday for this movement. When you sign up online there is a daily devotion with a scripture sent to you during the 40 days of prayer!! Thank you Ladies and God Bless You!!

Pam, are you going to a facility to pray? Have you done it yet? Could I go with you sometime?

Pam said...

I am going Friday from 11-1, maybe longer. Deanna may be going then also. If you want to go let me know, but I will be going next week also and we can plan on a time that is convenient for you. I will be working nights so we can go during the day..

I wish I could go with you ladies but of course I'm in Florida. Physically I can't go out YET but it's until April 5th so I know I will be out there way before then! Until then I'm continuing to pray from here.

Ok, can you ladies come to Orlando and visit with me too??? (smile)

Pam said...

You get well before running all over town!! Yes, we can all pray from where ever we are!! Thanks Lisa!

Hi Pam, I received your message. I'm resting...but I'll be out there week after next in the Name of Jesus!!! Until then, I'm praying for a MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD upon the hearts of all who attempt to enter into the clinics and upon all who are working there! MAY THEIR EYES BE OPEN TO SEE WHAT DARKNESS IS KEEPING THEM FROM SEEING!!

LET THEM SEE JESUS!!
