Hey everyone,
Due to sickness and some key people being out of town, I am rescheduling yet again (so sorry) and will hope to pick up on the 15th. During the break, please join me in prayer for the direction God wants this to go. I'm still seeking that.
Blessings!
Jessie

Just a head's-up for everyone. We're going to postpone meeting till the 1st too get through the holiday and give me a chance to organize some things. I'm excited about a new direction I feel the Lord has given us, but it's going to take a little planning. Thanks to everyone who keeps coming! We'll see you on the first!

Greetings, fellow pray-ers! Thanks very much to all of you who came out on election night. We stood on the courthouse steps under a beautiful moon and prayed over the wind and the trains. ☺ Good stuff. Since it was so cold we didn't beat about the bush much; just prayed for the elections and that God's will would be done and made clear and that the Kingdom would come in power. and now we shall see what that looks like!
This week we're back at Coffee Outfitters in Adna. 6:00 on Tuesday night. Soup provided, so come hungry!

Greetings everyone! Last week the spiritual warfare aspect of our roll as pray-ers came font and center. There were some great ideas put forth, like prayer walks and/or bike rides throughout the county, mapping out the roots of much of the darkness as God reveals it, and really going after the stuff about which we are already aware.
The subject of repentance also figured largely, based on the pairing of these two verses: Luke 18:1-8 "Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, saying, 'In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man. There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, "Give me legal protection from my opponent." For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, "Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"
And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?'"
And 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
His just response presupposes our confession and repentance. In fact, from Old Testament to New, we see the pattern of repentance then restoration. The prophets confessed and repented of the sins of the people, and John and Jesus came saying, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" Perhaps we are not helpless in the face of local evil; there is something we can do.
The list of things against which we are battling, then, are these:
*Sexual immorality, in general, and specifically among believers.
*Free Masonry.
*Spiritual blindness.
*Unspecified darkness withing local government and local schools.
If anyone has questions about this (I realize it's not an every-day topic), please feel free to contact me. I have a lot of excellent resources I can pass along.
This week, per request, we are meeting at the court house in Chehalis, right off of Main Street. We'll start on the steps (which face NW North Street) and see what happens from there. 6:00. We'll be praying like crazy over this election! Dress warmly. It should be dry, but cold.
