intercession
Sisters, the House of Prayer for the Nations on Madison’s east side is offering training and opportunities to be part of new prayer and intercession teams.The House of Prayer is in the process of moving into 24-7 prayer. As you’ll see from the invitation sent out, prayer focus varies with the day.This "harp and bowl" model of worship and prayer is unlike the prayer style common in many Christian settings where a group of folks gather and each one prays for what’s on their heart. This kind of prayer is valuable. The House of Prayer is intentional and focused. So,…
Sisters, I’m going to periodically send out requests for prayer.URBANA. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship runs an international missions conference for college students every4 years ( I think it’s four….may be wrong). Anyway. Thousands of young men and women attend this conference. many missionaries, campus workers, pastors, and general servants of the Most High God can point to an Urbana conference as a tipping point in their journey with Jesus and their calling in God’s kingdom work.The Urbana conference is scheduled for this December. Already, prayer and intercession teams are forming to cover this powerful, important outreach to students. God has used…
Dear Sisters,Sunday evenings from 5-7 Faith Community is having a regular intercession gathering.Yesterday, the time was sort of "teach, do, teach,do"First, two books were recommended: Intercession by Dutch Sheets and Intercession by Beth Alves.We looked at what intercession is and how it is different from supplication or petitioning prayer.

Dear sisters, Are ya’ll out there? I keep wondering if anyone but Nicole is reading this! Anyway, the last time I wrote I was sitting in the moonlight with Elizabeth Rooney, adoring Jesus as if nothing else mattered. And, know what? Nothing else does!I just read a wonderful State Journal article about Cindy Herbst – brave, visionary, sister from the branch of our family at High Point Church AND listener to God’s voice.Haven’t you ever been driving along, errand-list in hand and heard that still, small voice speak to you? Have you ever driven down the beltline and seen something that…
CarelessI haven’t cleaned the cellar,I forgot to sweep the stairThere’s a button off my jacketmy blue jeans have a tear.There’s an old, arthritic ladywhom I should uphold in prayer.But I’m sitting in the moonlight,the moonlight, the moonlight,adoring You by moonlightAs if I had no care.4/16/79Elizabeth RooneyElizabeth Rooney was a Wisconsin poet hailing from Blue Mounds. She was also a pray-er, servant, and lover of Jesus. This poem appeared in a collection called All Miracle Series…Morning song, Packages, Storing september, and Gift-Wrapped. My friend Ellen, a gifted, brilliant, wildly funny, beautiful woman, introduced me to Elizabeth Rooney. Now, I introduce her to…
WASHINGTON, DC (ANS) — It is a long way from the small Iowa city of Cedar Rapids to Nagaland, the mysterious state in northeastern India, but that is where Tim Phillips and his friend, Daniel Hurt, travel regularly to minister and be ministered to by these extraordinary people who have gone from being head hunters to becoming soul hunters. I met up with Phillips and Hurt on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, at a all day event called "Nagalim…Discovered," in the Gold Room of the Rayburn Building on Thursday, May 25.
