November 28, 2012 Pray for Thousands

Pray for Thousands Luke 12:1 Meanwhile the crowds grew until thousands upon thousands were milling about and crushing each other. THE BIBLE records many, many miracles. But I think we miss this one. “Where’s the miracle?” you ask. Well, when was the last time you went to church and couldn’t find a parking space, couldn’t get in the door, couldn’t find a seat, couldn’t wait to get there, couldn’t wait to hear the Word preached or couldn’t wait to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit pour into your heart the truth of God’s spoken Word? Jesus spoke with no loudspeakers, no TV blitz, no radio campaign, internet or Facebook to announce his coming. But they came because nothing could stop them. Thousands came because they were hungry for the truth. Thousands came to witness signs and wonders. Thousands came to touch God. My friends, this can still happen today. In Jesus’ day he spoke and ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who preach God’s Word today must speak in the Power of the Spirit. Those who listen must listen in the Power of the Spirit. Pray for your own worship experience, that the Spirit will wrap your heart in love around God’s Word. Pray for your church, that thousands—yes thousands—will come. Pray for your minister that he or she will preach in the power of the Spirit. Watch the signs and wonders happen. It’s True! Praying for this week’s worship at church is what we all must do.
