Dear Friend,
 Passionate Pursuit is moving to a new location! Mark your calendar for the next event: January 14, 2010 at the Piney Woods Country Club.
This month's event was phenomenal! Even though the Holy Spirit indicated
to me ahead of time that He was going to do something new and powerful at
November's Passionate Pursuit, I still could not have anticipated the way or degree to which He moved. There was a freedom and conviction in prayer
that churches, ministries and individuals long to experience.
Listen to a few of the comments from November's event:
"Wow! Where do I begin? God was in this place
tonight!!!"
- Dayna
"I was convicted and humbled tonight! Thank you,
Jesus!"
- Paula
"I actually felt chill bumps
going up and down my spine as I listened to the powerful prayers being lifted
to God."
The Concert of Prayer was similar - in that the Holy Spirit began indicating months in advance that it would be a
special and unusual evening. It would be
anointed! I did my best to convey this to the Passionate Pursuit women weeks in advance...but after experiencing His presence at the Concert,
it became clear that words had failed me.
I mention this to say that the Holy
Spirit is speaking to me about January's Passionate Pursuit. It is going to be
an unusual, blessed, anointed evening - one that will impact your life! You don't want to miss it. I will do my best in the coming days to share
with you the veiled revelation God is giving me about January's event. But
know that words will never do justice to His presence, His power and His plan. Hearing about it in advance will never compare to the experience of it. He will far exceed any advance description.
January 14th is going to be great! - With a powerful Moment in Concert and a message I believe will impact your walk with Christ deeply. This Summer, the Lord gave me exciting direction regarding January's Passionate Pursuit. I look forward to sharing more with you about it in the coming days!
Mark your calendar and
Pre-Register: Thursday, January 14th, 6:30 p.m. Come be a part of an incredible evening. How glorious and life changing the result will
be!! Join me in a Passionate Pursuit and let's experience God's
promised reward.
"...for he who comes to God must
believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him" Hebrews 11:6 (emphasis
added).

 Nothing Less with Natalie Nichols. We were created to know Jesus intimately, to live by
His life and be satisfied with nothing less! There is no
other joy on this earth but Jesus Christ. How sad, sick
and cheated an existence to accept pitiful substitutes,
mirages of happiness. Through these stirring
messages, the Holy Spirit will inspire you to make one
simple determination that will transform your life:"No
matter the cost, I will pursue Christ passionately and I
will be satisfied with nothing less!"

 A Reason to Give Thanks, Even in
Hard Times
This Thanksgiving Day, amid more job loss, economic downturn and
financial hardships, we tend to be preoccupied by all of the negative
and challenging circumstances of our lives.
As this thought crossed my mind today, the Holy Spirit brought a simple verse to mind:
"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you" (Psalm 116:7).
No doubt you are experiencing trials of one kind of another...

How do I pray for lost loved ones?
In today's Concert of Prayer, the Holy Spirit is leading me to pray
for those who do not know Jesus Christ. For a moving, real-life
illustration of the need for your prayer and witness, see My surprise Visitor - I believe this post will motivate you in your prayer for the lost.
One of the most helpful, encouraging personal accounts of prayer for lost souls is found in The 2959 Plan by
Peter Lord. In this guide to prayer and communion with God, Peter
shares a letter written to him by a person who saw dramatic answers to
prayer - after praying ineffectively for lost loved ones for over 20
years...

 My Surprise Visitor
The following story recounts that life-changing evening:
As the flames crept closer and closer
all she could do was scream ...

God Promised.
Do I still pray about it?
As we pray in concert today, I feel led to share these encouraging
insights about prayer from Acts chapter nine. The story of Saul of
Tarsus (later called Paul) actually reveals a lot about the mind of God
concerning prayer...
