Reflections About Prayer (2)

Sorry about the "misnumbering." I posted on the blog yesterday the e-mail that I had received concerning a call to pray one minute per day in concert with other believers at the same time each evening concerning the upcoming elections. This day (2) is my first reflection of three that I would like ot share with you. After that, I will use these reflections as a "linch pin" to begin posting a series on Revival. Prayer is that "linch pin" between these two concerns, so it seemed best to begin with this call to prayer.

Reflections on “One Minute Per Day in Prayer”

1. I researched as thoroughly as I could on the Urban Legends and Folklore web site and found nothing to substantiate or deny the historical claims put forth in this e-mail. That said, I believe it is always a good idea when someone calls for us to pray in agreement for any issues that concern our the welfare of our lives and the welfare of the Body of Christ, our families, our nation as well as the well being of all mankind.

My wife, Mary Jane, and I have dedicated focused prayer time over the years for certain individuals and/or specific situations. We had done all that we could in service and ministry to that person(s) or the given situation(s), and we knew that only God could bring about the full blessings that we desired for and in the lives of those involved. We would, for example, dedicate ourselves to stop whatever we were doing at 12:00 noon each day, or as close to that time as our circumstances would allow, and we would pray. We each knew that the other was also praying at that time, and we would confess the promise given to us by Jesus in Matthew 18:19-20 – “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

We have seen powerful, positive, progressive answers to these praeyrs (all Praise to Him from whom comes "every good and perfect gift" - see James 1:17). Let us keep these for "P's" in mind for further reflections on Revival - Praise, Powerful, Positive, Progressive!

I'll post Reflection 2 tomorrow. You'll have to excuse me; I need to go now, because I feel a really wonderfully explosive "HALLELUJAH SHOUT" coming on me now! Cião.
