Randy’s June, 2012 Update:
WWJP – What Would Jesus Pray? 🙂
What might Jesus and the Holy Spirit be praying/interceding for you, for me, and for this ministry?
Romans 8:34 states that Jesus is on the right hand of God interceding for us.
Romans 8:26 asserts that “the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.”
At times throughout this journey, I’ve asked Jesus and the Holy Spirit directly…
“What are you praying for me?”
“What are you praying for _____________?” (I fill in the names of people I meet with, or the names of other people who are placed on my heart or mind).
Then I sit silently and listen to see what thoughts, feelings, impressions, images, words, beliefs, and physical sensations come to me.
Are they from me or are they from God? Hmmm.
I may not discern them all correctly, but it seems like a worthwhile exercise.
It seems within God’s will that He would want us to know what He’d like us to be praying for.
So far it has led to some interesting prayers, ones outside of my usual prayers for people.
This month, I encourage you to join me.
I’d love for you to be asking Jesus and the Holy Spirit what they are praying for this ministry and for everyone impacted by it or involved in it, including yourself.
Sense what comes up. Discern if it lines up with God’s character and truth, as best you can. What do you discern that Jesus and the Holy Spirit might be praying?
Please pray those things for this ministry, for me, for the people I meet with, and even for yourself.
We’ll see what happens.
How exciting! And scary!
Thank You:
Thanks for your prayers.
In His Love,
Randy
