TWO NEW STONES OF REMEMBERANCE

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Our evening began with a sweet story of rescue and victory. Shirley shared how God touched her on Monday and answered a prayer she's prayed for many months. She's been praying for God to give her her "moment." She shared that on Sunday she reached the end of her rope, ready to give up not only on herself but on God. She cried out to the Lord for help. God heard her prayer of desperation and opened up the heavens giving her scripture after scripture and assuring her of His love and presence. She said that she feels like she was dead and is now alive. That she has been born again - again!! Since Monday God continues to speak and Shirley is able to hear. Her excitement was contagious! Praise God!!

RESCUE

The group discussed many different things throughout the evening some of which were:

• Seeking the Lord for more compassion and sorrow for those who are hurting so that we will be able to feel others pain when we pray
  
• How God wants to sensitize us and the enemy wants to desensitize us
• Being broken before the Lord
• How God is releasing His power
  
• Our need to surrender and respond to the Lord
• The journey towards forgiveness
• 
  

At the end of the evening special prayer for Eva and Carol occurred. During prayer for Carol, she was able to lay down the unforgiveness she has been struggling with for the past several months. Praise God!!
