Family is a creation of God. God gave Adam and Eve His blessing after He brought Eve to Adam. Families are still God's design. Today families are under attack. When Husbands and wives have conflict, society says get a divorce. Sometimes from extremes like unresolved sexual immortality (fornication), unresolved physical and emotional abuse or abandonment divorce seems impossible to avoid. Yet, God still desires for families to be vibrant, relationally sound and functioning as well as possible. Ministers, pastors and Christian leaders' families are prime targets of the devil's attack. He uses his tactics to deceive, divide and destroy. We seek God today for families.
PRAYER: Father I pray today for ministers, pastors, Christian leaders and their families. I ask for your providence, protection and guidance in their lives and families. I ask that your wisdom give us diligence as husbands and wives to guard the sacredness of our families. AMEN!!

Day Four of Season of Seeking
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:3 KJV) Some may say, "Why ask if God knows what we need?" Of course we ask because God tells us to ask and we can trust His love and care. Earthly fathers know how to give good gifts to their children and God gives the Holy Spirit to His children. The problem James is addressing is the attitude of asking for those things that satisfy the fleshly carnal desires. Sometimes prayer can be so mis-focused that God does not respond since He knows best.
This season of seeking should bring one in a closer relationship with Christ and a greater resolve to pease HIM. "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. (1 John 3:22 KJV)
PRAYER: Father I ask that the Holy Spirit bring me and others closer in our relationship with Christ and a greater resolve to please HIM - by your grace. AMEN!

Day Three of Season of Seeking
As a pastor, my heart yearns for the move of the Holy Spirit as only He can move. As we end the third day of seeking, the vision and mission of Christ surely is one of the priorities to pray. Jesus emphasized prayer for laborers in the harvest. Jesus told the disciples that the baptism of the Holy Ghost would give them power for service; service that would empower them to fulfill the great commission. When our heart beats as Jesus' heart beats we will be passionate for reaching the lost and compassionate towards them.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit come break our hearts again for those without Christ and disturb any easiness and apathy until we can't rest until we go reach them for YOU. AMEN!!!!

Season of Seeking & Prayer Revival
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)
