As we humble ourselves, repent of sins and seek God's face we find God's promise to "heal our land becomes a reality." This is a season of sincere and sober seeking of God.
We are truly thankful and blessed to be His children We pray the Holy Spirit will come and lead us deeper in the vision and mission of Christ. There are so many who are near eternity and have not accepted Christ as Savior and Lord.
O what an awesome Savior He is. We did not want HIM but we need HIM. HE did not need us but HE wanted us. While we were yet sinners HE loved us and died for us.
We continue in this time of seeking and revival. The Holy Spirit's presence was very close this past Sunday and we pray and anticipate an awesome move of God as we meet again to seek HIM.

Prayer Initiative
We are thankful for God's presence in our times of seeking HIM. We want to praise the Lord for a spirit of compassion and a passion to seek HIM in our prayer times. There are testimonies of healing, deliverance and restoration. We thank God for the following testimonies.
A Daughter is providentially protected in a major vehicle wreck. Authorities stated that anyone in the vehicle she was in should have been killed or critically injured. Our prayer time the week before had included a request and prayer for a member's grandchildren. She is one of those grandchildren. She testified that an angel came in the car with her and protected her. She is recovering from minor injuries and emotional struggles.

A son leaves the drug culture and returns to the Lord and back home with his family. He is asking for continued prayer as he seeks God daily to remain drug-free.
A young teen (16 years old) had left her mother over some boundary issues and went to live with her father who does not have custody. The mother was crushed and heart broken. After requesting prayer, the church prayed for this and God answered. The teen is back with her mother and is submitting to her mother's discipline and care.
Several testify to being refreshed and encouraged as the Holy Spirit has come into our midst with empowerment and encouragement.
One of the main focuses of this prayer initiative is to seek the Holy Spirit to help the church move from a "maintenance" attitude or inward focus to a "missional" attitude or outward focus to people who need salvation in Christ.
We continue these intensive Times of seeking the Lord two times a month - 1st and 3rd Sundays at 5 pm.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. (Hosea 10:12 NKJV)

Seeking God Intensive Initiative
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
"This evening we seek the Lord for his agenda. We seek the Lord for His will for this time of seeking Him and his favor."
The above passage and statement began a time of intensively seeking God by the congregation of the Waverly Church of God of Prophecy (WCGP). After three weeks of seeking Him on each of the past three Sunday evenings (Oct. 2, 9, 16) at 5 pm until, we can give thanks and honor to Him for being present in our midst. The three weeks have realized a powerful move of the Holy Spirit as people have shared needs, desires, failures and sins and God's presence has overwhelmed us. We are thankful for an average of 13 being present to cry out to God, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways.
We believe He will, then, forgive our sin and heal "our" land. We continue to seek Him to open our hearts and minds to realize and receive godly repentance that leads to godly living and serving in Christ's vision and mission.
We thank all those who have given time in this prayer initiative. We anticipate and expect great and awesome things as we put God and His agenda alone on our prayer initiative.
Appreciation goes out to Stephen James for leading in this effort. May God be continually glorified!!!
Seeking God through prayer is one of our core values. We will continue this prayer initiative for the glory of God.

09-11-11 A Day To Challenge Us...
There are many articles, news reports and media events surrounding the the ten year memorial day of 09-11-01. There will be prayer gatherings, prayer events, memorial services and possibly every church in America will have something to remember this tragic event when over 3000 people lost their lives. This time of prayer and memorializing is to be expected and commended where genuine seeking of God is found. Questions comes to mind. Will this be a temporary time of prayer? Will our nation continue on the path away from Biblical principles and lifestyles? Will this be only a time to commemorate a disaster or will it be a turning form wickedness and turning to God as 2 Chronicles 7:14 admonishes? No, I'm not saying the Twin Towers disaster was a punishment from God but it certainly was a wakeup call for Christians to be sober and diligent in seeking God. This is a time for a great opportunity.
Yes, we have a great opportunity to put forth a challenge in churches all across America since 09-11-11 is on Sunday this year. We have an opportunity to seriously share the need for continuously seeking God. We have an opportunity to share with our children and youth the value and priority of daily seeking God. We have the opportunity of coming to the cross where the blessed Savior died and to the empty tomb where he rose from the dead and is alive forever more. We have the opportunity of coming boldly to the throne of grace where he ever lives to make intercession for us. We have the opportunity to challenge people to seek God, not simply or only on 09-11-11 but every day of our lives. Let's use this opportunity to encourage importunity in prayer - to seek Him every day not just special occasions or memorial days....

Update - Africa Report and Prayer Initiative
We were blessed by the presentation of Stephen James on his mission trip to Africa. He is a young minister seeking God and studying to grow in Christ.
He and I have been meeting and encourageing each other and also discussing and planning a corporate strategic prayer initiative for Waverly and surrounding area. This is not a specific Church of God of Prophecy prayer gathering. It is for all who want to join us in the area. We will meet in a room at the Waverly COGOP or in the auditorium as needed.
We will begin this time of SEEKING GOD on the first Sunday evening in October at 5 pm and each Sunday evening thereafter or as announced. We are using the Scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 as our emphasis. This prayer time is informal and will be open to anyone for prayer requests, testimonies, sharing scripture and personal struggles and needs. We will be listening to the Holy Spirit and seeking God for divine intervention, true revival and whatever He speaks to us. We will be asking God for forgiveness where we have failed and seeking for humility and repentance. We will focus on the vision and mission of Christ in our communities.
The enemy would make this time seem insignificant but we can be sure that prayer is at the top of the list in spiritual warfare. Though it is a simple effort in that we are not limiting the time, making a program outline or setting certain objectives, it is very profound in that we enter and press forward in this time of praying to humble ourselves, confess and repent of "wicked ways" and seek God's face.
Please join us in this time. If you can't attend please pray with us. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray........"
