FAN THE FLAMES

Carriers of the Flame,

May our lamps be filled with oil! May our lamps be burning bright! Remember what our Lord Jesus said of the Church in the book of Revelation? He called the church a lampstand. (Rev.1:20) Jesus calls out to us saying, "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning!" (Luke 12:35) Remember that we were once darkness, but now we are light in the Lord! We are called to walk as children of the Light! The word of God says, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them!...Awake, you who sleep, rise from the dead, and Christ will give you light!" (Eph.5:8-14) Never loose the wonder, that "Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full!...God is light and in Him is no darkness at all...But if we walk in the light as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin!" (1 John 1:3-7 What a fellowship! What a JOY Divine!

These are dark days! Every day we hear of another killing. The enemy knows his time is short. (Rev.12:12) He is busy! Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly!" (John 10:10) It's time to rise and shine!!! The Word of God says, "ARISE! SHINE! For your light has come! and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you! For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you!" No matter how dark it gets, "LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE!!!" (Matt.5:16)

PRAISE THE LORD!!!~\o/~From Crack 2 Christ!!! On Sunday night a precious man was brought from Crack to Christ! He sought out an old friend who he used to party with. He said, "I want to go down to the Bronx and get some Crack!" His buddy had been born again. He said, "I'm going to the Bronx tonight to church come with me!" He came! ...and during the service the Lord convicted his heart of His need to be set free! He came forward for prayer at the end of the service and began to cry to the Lord. Before the night was over, he called on the Lord Jesus Christ to save him and to give him new life! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Please pray for Jay to get hungry for the Word of God and to grow in his new life in Christ! (1 Peter 2:2)

PRAY FOR OUT WEEKLY STREET OUTREACHES~\o/~PRAY 4 SOULS TO BE SAVED! May open eyes and turn hearts from darkness to Light, from the power of satan to God! (Acts 26:13-19) We are living in a day when iniquity abounds, and when men call evil good, and good evil. "Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil." (John 3:19)"Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God!" (John 3:3-8) Pray that the Lord would fill us, His church, with fresh power from on high, to boldly proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ! (Acts 1:8) Pray that the Lord would pour out strong conviction over sin and awaken hearts to flee from the wrath to come! Pray for brokenness over sin, and radical repentance like what happened in Ephesus! "The name of the Lord Jesus was magnified! And many that believed came and confessed, and showed their deeds. Many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all! ...About that time there arose a great commotion about the Way!" (Acts 19:17-19 + 23) PRAY that the LORD would send a great commotion for the saving of souls and for the glory of His name!!!!

THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US IN PRAYER! NO PRAYER = NO POWER!
We thank the Lord that you are standing with us in prayer! It is SO encouraging to know that we are serving together for the glory of the Lamb! Please pray for the Lord's continued provision and protection. Pray that the Lord would lead us by His Spirit! Pray for the our family, that the Lord would lead our daughter and our sons, in His will for His glory! "Only one life, will soon be past! Only what's done for Christ will last!" ~C.T.Studd.

May our Lamps be burning bright!
Until we see Jesus!! ~ Maranatha!!
