Prayer

JBC’s five days of prayer for all of the ministries that happen in our church started today. We have corporate prayer in our chapel 10 hours each day for this week, Monday through Friday, 5 am to 10 am and 5pm to 10 pm.  I prayed 6 of the 10 hours today, and I was greatly blessed personally by the experience.

When I got home tonight, shortly after 10 pm, I began thinking about my experiences today with God , and my faith in prayer. From 1976 when I started Pastoring until 1988 my prayer life was fairly anemic. After 1989 my devotion to and my practice of prayer has grown stronger and stronger, and today I have a “matter of fact” kind of faith that prayer really does change things and that the more a church prays the more God will bless.

    Pastor Dee, you don’t know me. I go to Shelter in Fairbanks. I just wanted to give you some feedback so you know how your blog posts and especially your sermons have helped me (I have listened to many, but mostly referring to the prayer seminar done in Fairbanks in summer of 2012). I feel like God speaks to me through you. I feel motivated every time I listen to them. So keep up the good work! 🙂 Thank you.
