Please be praying for our homegroup this week, and if you feel the Lord is leading you to join us in fasting Tuesday night to Thrusday night, I would encourage you to do so. This homegroup has been under attack for a while, and I think its hight time that we stand together against the attacks of the enemy. Join us in prayer against despair, depression, and ineffectiveness. If you feel the Lord has placed something on your heart to share or pray for, please do so Thursday at homegroup. The Lord is using each and everyone one of us, and we are all part of the body of Christ. Please, don't belittle God's plan for you in this homegroup, He has brought each one of us here for a reason. Ask Him for vision.
For those of you who haven't been in a while, we really miss you, and would ask that you make a special effort to be there Thursday, so that we might join together as a HOMEGROUP in UNITED STEADFAST PRAYER. I look forward to rejoicing with each of you in the victory that Christ brings us.
"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5:16
Believe God to do a mighty work, and to bring the freedom that He has promised to those who call on His name!!!

I shall not stand silently aside as the enemy picks us off, drags us down, fills our heads with lies, and seperates us out one by one. We are a body, we are all effected by each other, and should come to the aid of our brothers/sisters in prayer.
Ephesians 6:18
"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."

Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. THEN YOU WILL CALL UPON ME AND GO AND PRAY TO ME, AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU AND YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME, WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity.

What are we expecting from God today? How about thinking bigger...
It is the accomplishing of the seemingly impossible that God uses to wonder us with His power and might. If by faith and through prayer we ask of the Lord, then by His will we may see it done.
They said:
It would never rain, the walls would never fall, a giant would not be slain, a king would not be found, the mouths of lions would not be stopped, a people would never be free, a sea would never be parted, an army would destroy them, a Savior would never come, the sea would not be quited, an apostle imprisoned would not be freed, and the dead would not rise...and they were WRONG. For those who believed in an ALMIGHTY GOD; through faith it was asked, through faith it was expected, and through faith it was done. What are we expecting from God today?
Got Faith?
Heb. 11
"What more shall I say?..." v.32
THINK BIGGER...NOW, WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM GOD?
