“The Lord will test the endurance of this new praying church, but gradually the power of God will be released in the cities of prayer. The extraordinary presence of the living Christ will make miracles seem ordinary. Faith will once again rest on the demonstration of the Spirit and not upon the wisdom of man; multitudes will be genuinely saved… The only way we can stand victorious before our enemies is if we kneel humbly before our Lord together.” Francis Frangipane
In order to stay stable and secure in difficult days, there are several areas where we need to be strong. Building strength in the following four areas will help us to stand strong against the enemy:
- Personally – In personal prayer and intimacy. Our entire lives must be built upon our relationship with God. Intimacy and praise is the key to living strong personally during times of stress. Knowing God and His character calms our heart and gives us courage.You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely (Psalm 59:17).
- Corporately – In corporate prayer and worship. We must pray that the Church of Jesus Christ in every city increases its focus on prayer and worship, and becomes a praying Church and a praying community. As life becomes more difficult, praying corporately will become necessary. Together in prayer we will find God as our refuge.God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
- Relationally – In all our relationships. We must learn to walk in peace, forgiveness, and repentance on a continual basis with everyone. We cannot afford to become bitter or judgmental. It is time for the body of Christ to unite and to realize the power and strength of that unity.The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace (Psalm 29:11).
- Spiritually – In the Word of God. We cannot listen to the enemy’s lies any longer. This is a season where we must hold onto the Word of God as our truth in every situation we face. Learn more about praying the Word of God in chapter four.My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word (Psalm 119:28).
We need to be like Noah who knew God intimately and obeyed Him. He built an ark when people were partying and having an easy time. Could you have taken the courage to do that? Noah knew what God told him to do even when outward signs did not speak of a flood that would cover the entire earth. He continued in obedience and faithfulness even when he was the only one.
Many of you are called to be forerunners. You are called to promote, lead, and encourage the prayer movement in your church and city. You know what the Lord wants. You know that 24/7 prayer is critical for your city. The highest identity of God’s people now and throughout all of eternity will be through intimacy-based intercession as Sons of God and as the Bride of Christ. We are created to interact deeply with God’s heart. He will govern the universe in partnership with us through intercession.
This is your time to build a strong foundation. You may not be building an actual ark, but you are building a House of Prayer in your church or city. Like the ark Noah built, when the storm comes the Houses of Prayer will protect people from destruction and will provide a covering, bringing more mercy to that city or town being prayed for. You must faithfully build one brick at a time, believing by faith that when the storms come, your city will stand because it is built on the rock of Christ and on prayer (Matthew 7:24-25).
There are others of you who are not the ones to lead in building a House of Prayer in your city, but you are the supporters. You say, “Yes” to prayer in your heart. You are the ones who pray and hold up the arms of those who lead the prayer movement in your city or in your church. You know how necessary prayer is for your city and you support it willingly in mind, heart, and action. You want to know God deeply and are willing to unite with others even from different denominational backgrounds than yours. You are a very needed part.

One thing is that often one of the most frequent incentives for making use of your cards is a cash-back and also rebate provision. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5 back with various expenditures. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1 again on most expenditures, and 5 in return on buying made using convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores as well as ‘member merchants’.

I have learned some important things through your site post. One other subject I would like to convey is that there are several games that you can buy which are designed particularly for preschool age small children. They involve pattern acknowledgement, colors, pets, and designs. These typically focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This will keep little ones occupied without experiencing like they are learning. Thanks

Oh my goodness! a tremendous article dude. Thank you Nonetheless I’m experiencing problem with ur rss . Don?t know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting an identical rss problem? Anyone who is aware of kindly respond. Thnkx
I do enjoy the way you have framed this particular challenge and it really does supply me some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, through just what I have experienced, I basically wish as the remarks pile on that people continue to be on issue and in no way get started on a tirade regarding some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this superb piece and although I can not go along with this in totality, I respect the perspective.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.
One other issue is that if you are in a scenario where you do not possess a cosigner then you may actually want to try to make use of all of your educational funding options. You’ll find many grants and other free college funding that will present you with money that can help with institution expenses. Thanks alot : ) for the post.
Nearly all of what you claim happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. Nevertheless there is just one position I am not really too cozy with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual main idea of the point, allow me observe what all the rest of the readers have to say.Nicely done.
Wow, amazing blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is magnificent, let alone the content!
