 ARE YOU MAD? By Lori Wagner
Thursday evenings in January I had the privilege of participating in Nightwatch prayer. Joining Christians from the Midwest and Southwest via conference call, a group of people united to intercede for our nation from midnight - 6:00 a.m. EST.
One of the nights I was on the prayer line, I realized I was feeling angry...angry at the way I and others have been robbed by spiritual deception and oppression. Angry that so many abortions have taken place in our land. Angry that truth is mocked and rebellion uplifted as the "American way."
As I thought about these things, the word mad came to mind, and with it an acronym: Making A Difference.
It's ok to get mad, as long as we use that "MADness" to Make A Difference, and we can:
* through prayer
* through our lifestyle choices (personal consecration to purity that draws us close to God and witnesses to others)
* through involvement in our churches, schools and communities, etc.
So, if you're mad, like me, I hope you'll choose to make a difference in your circle of influence. And we can all make a difference through prayer.

 Prayer Meeting Ideas
Kaye Singleton shared this idea at a Ladies Conference: Purchase black cloth and cut it into 1/2 yard lengths for each lady with instructions that when praying for their families to do as Rizpah did in II Samuel 21, "we are keeping the prey off our families". Praying in the DOZ meeting with these really created an atmosphere. |

Praise Reports
I have prayed for years the first Monday of the month over my children. Years ago, I printed two pages of scriptures to use as I pray over my children.
The Tuesday before Christmas my spirit was drawn to pray. I did not know the need, but prayed desperately over everyone that I could think of. I felt the Lord sending out protection for someone. When I finished praying, I felt a peace.
The next day, my twenty-year-old son called from Iraq. I asked him if he had been in any kind of danger the day before. He did not answer for a minute or two. Then he said that yes, he had but could not tell me over the phone but would tell me when he got back home. He told me that is one prayer/praise report I should record in my journal.
I love the newsletter. God is awesome! -Lana Wakefield |
