Something Old, Something New ... Something Borrowed, Something Blue ...

OLD Friends to pray with ... Ivy Pratt, Neal and Sherri praying together again!
NEW Friends to pray with ... Doug and Ginny ... visiting what is an ~
OLD facility to someone else, soon to be the ~
NEW Facility for organization's Headquarters!  What a privilege to walk through ~
OLD rooms, now sprinkled with sheetrock dust, sockets and fixtures hanging from the ceiling like dry autumn foliage, naked cement floors anticipating their ~
NEW covering (just like creation longing to be clothed!) ...
And here, just behind the entrance lobby, is where the ~
NEW prayer room will be ... a small room, not much larger than a closet, it will be a place to come away into the Presence of the ANCIENT OF DAYS.  We've invited the Holy Spirit to anoint this place, to call His people to worship and praise Him here, to come together to petition for the Nations here, in this place!  May Your Name be hallowed IN THIS PLACE!.
This tiny room will truly be a place of warfare, of birth, of praise and worship and petition.  May it be that this place will be a sanctified closet where You meet with your people, so that untold millions come to salvation in Christ, to the glory of Your Name!

Prayer can seem frightening, intimidating ... boring?  Yet we know from the Word that through Jesus we literally enter into the inner sanctuary, into His very Presence!  We often do so with BORROWED words ~ His own words, straight from Scripture, because we pray back to Him what He already wants to do!  Prayer is a magnificent and mighty endeavor ... yet so sublimely simple.  Not easy, just simple ...
That joyous assignment complete we continue on our journey, blessed by the vivid BLUE sky of Colorado and glorious, sunny warmth of this spring day.  And our hearts swell with gratitude and praise that we are His Servants!
"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a NEW creature; the OLD things passed away; behold, NEW things have come"  2 Cor. 5:17  Yes, Lord Jesus!
