It is an awesome thing to have a relationship with the living God.
When we Pray it empowers us to be women of our word and be the woman that God has called us to be . Women with purpose.
When women PRAY they move the hand of God….when you move the hand of God five things happen… #one it changes your own life….. # two changes the atmosphere in your home…. #Three supernatural things began to happen in your family’s life…..
# four… a supernatural harvest can occur in your community and with your friends and in your workplace. #Five, you can reap a harvest around the world. And that’s what we at Stonecroft want to do. We want to reach a harvest around the world. We want everyone to know the living water, Jesus!
At CWC we should be making our meetings so wonderful that women will enjoy it so much they have to tell others. That we have such powerful speakers that women will want their friends to hear .
Matthew 7: 7 says Ask, and it will be given to you ..seek and you will find… knock and the door will be open to you… for everyone who ask receives. He seeks finds. And to him who knocks the door will be opened.
First Chronicles 5:20 the scripture says He answered their prayers because they trusted in him… do we trust enough to know that God is going to answer our prayers?
Prayer is direct communication with God. It is direct communication with the creator of the universe.
Scripture says you have not because you ask not. In other words God wants us to ask. He wants to commune with us.
I’m reminded of a story that my daughter shared with me , many years ago. This really happened .
It’s an incredible story of a Campus Crusade mission project at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
44 college students came to Hampton Beach to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. They had prayed fervently to reach 4000 people …at an event they had planned on the beach .
They were disappointed when only 500 or so came. They were thankful for the 500 but Their goal was 4000. So they kept praying, praying and praying to God for the 4000.
A few days later the project Director received a phone call from the Wall St Journal . The paper just happened to be doing an article on the spiritual state of New England.
A meeting was set with the director. And when the reporter showed up… she didn’t want to talk to the project director. She wanted to go out on the beach with the students to watch them witness for Christ …so they printed an article in the Wall Street Journal, which ended up on the front page of the newspaper, …
Another paper that covered the New Hampshire and Maine area didn’t want to be out done so, they sent a reporter and a photographer …through that, a local TV station showed up to cover the story.
Finally, the Boston Globe sent a reporter to do an even bigger story with more of a national slant. They estimated over 2 million people were exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ …because 44 students prayed.
So I say reach past the stars——-and touch the heart of your Heavenly Father.
