PRAYER CLOSET
A.W. Tozer 1897-1963
“No man should stand before an audience who has not first stood before God. Many hours of communion should precede one hour in the pulpit.
The prayer chamber should be more familiar than the public platform. Prayer should be continuous, preaching but intermittent.”

HIDING MY FACE
David Wilkerson 1931-2011
“Can you imagine someone keeping the Creator of the universe waiting while he lingers to view his favorite TV program? Yet that is what many of us do! Even worse, we often do not bother to show up in God's presence at all. It is not that we forget our appointment with Him but we willfully refuse to appear before Him! When I allow interruptions to come between me and my appointments with the Lord, I am hiding my face from Him and not appreciating Him as I should.”

Dear brothers and sisters, I need your intercessor, my wife is thirty-four weeks pregnant, but yesterday suddenly there was a large amount of amniotic fluid outflow, and then we rushed to the hospital for overnight examination, the baby in the belly is normal. However, the doctor advised the baby to be born because of insufficient amniotic fluid. The baby was born prematurely at thirty-four weeks. Please pray for the baby and Grace ,wishing them peace and health.

For all of you who pray foR us, we are pressing on! Remember your brothers and sisters in Chains in China 🙏

THE ROUTINE RUT
A.W. Tozer 1897-1963
“The treacherous enemy facing the church of Jesus Christ today is the dictatorship of the routine, when the routine becomes "lord" in the life of the church. Programs are organized and the prevailing conditions are accepted as normal. Anyone can predict next Sunday's service and what will happen. This seems to be the most deadly threat in the church today. When we come to the place where everything can be predicted and nobody expects anything unusual from God, we are in a rut. The routine dictates, and we can tell not only what will happen next Sunday, but what will occur next month and, if things do not improve, what will take place next year. Then we have reached the place where what has been determines what is, and what is determines what will be.”

Questions to ask when you study the Bible

Kintsugi - the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold. Instead of hiding imperfections it shows that beauty can come from brokenness when the pieces are handed back over to the potter. Somehow creating something more exquisite and usually for a completely new purpose! Evidence that, even in brokenness there is hope, when we hand the pieces over into His grace.

A STAGGERING CONTRAST
Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994)
“Isn't it staggering when you think that one sermon on the day of Pentecost produced 3000 people? And we had some cities yesterday where 3000 sermons were preached and nobody was saved. And it doesn't even faze us. The church used to be a lightning bolt, now it's a cruise ship. We are not marching to Zion - we are sailing there with ease. In the apostolic church it says they were all amazed - And now in our churches everybody wants to be amused. The church began in the upper room with a bunch of men agonizing, and it's ending in the supper room with a bunch of people organizing. We mistake rattle for revival, and commotion for creation, and action for unction.”

Please consider praying for my wife Sharon (76) has upr jaw cancer surgery January 3. , then left cancerous kidney removed January 18. We are blessed with wonderful medical help and detection of cancer not known, then short time to removal surgery! God is blessing .. however your prayers are coveted.. it will be traumatic and the surgeons do there part but God is the healer! We both trust our savior Jesus & ask a His loving care!

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Ding Dash, I have an urgent prayer request for a dear friend of mine. His name is Alfonso and he is a believer. A few years ago he had a disease similar to leukemia, I don't remember the name of the disease, and, after a year and a half, thank God, it was in remission. This morning this dear friend of mine called to tell me that he is very sick again and is having blood transfusions again.

I ask you to pray for a complete healing. I ask you to also pray that he may feel the peace of God in his heart at this difficult time.

God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏

WALK THE TALK
Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994)
“People say, "I want to be like Jesus." Well, I doubt it. Do you want to get kicked out of your family because you love God? Do you want to be so true to God that a Thomas comes and doubts you? That a Judas sells you? Do you really want to be like Jesus? Well then, why don’t you practice it? Why don’t you have forty days and forty nights of fasting?”

MOTIVATED BY LOVE
Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994)
“There's no burden too heavy, or no situation too hard for the one that you love. If we are love-controlled, love-motivated, and love- energized, it will be all right when we stand up there, because if there's anything about love - it's obedient. We need to become a people who are baptized with obedience. We need to be submissive to the total will of God, not concerned about human opinion, and not asking for more to spend on ourselves. We need to say, "Oh God, I want this life of mine to glorify You, so that when I stand in Your awesome presence, as John says, I shall not be ashamed at Your appearing" (I John 2:28).”
