Prayer Page

Hi guys,

I hope you are all having a great week.  I wanted to let you know that we created a "Prayer Page" for our ministry and I'm eager to see how the Lord will use it.  Several weeks ago the Lord laid it on my heart to send a message to a handful of individuals, who I know pray and would be faithful in lifting us up.  I realize that they are the very reason the Lord has blessed us in such a way.  They are the pillars of this ministry.  I take this very serious and know the importance of having "Watchmen on the Wall," interceding for the Kingdom of God to come here on earth.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I want to allow those praying an opportunity to share any impressions, words of encouragement, prophecy, dreams, visions, etc on our page.  I would like to hear how the Lord is speaking to you as you pray.  I believe that the Lord is raising up others, who will pray and even join in on what He's doing with "A Church Without Walls."  I don't believe that this ministry is limited to the homeless men and women of Norfolk, VA.  I believe there are others that the Lord is raising up, who will minister to those in prison, the orphans, the widows, the sick, the lonely - not just here in my city, but in yours as well.  I believe that the Lord is doing a new thing of raising up the global Church, who he will use to burst the bonds of tradition and redeem His bride.  I take great heart knowing that we will see the goodness of the Lord - here - in the land of the living.  I believe that he's raising up Joshua's even now and I'm praying that they would answer His call and step up to fulfill their purpose for the Kingdom of Light!

A very important part of the gospel is the Great Commission and each of us, have been commanded to "GO!"  I believe the enemy has been crippling many with fear, discouragement, and causing them to feel inadequate.  Remember what Moses said, as he was discouraged about not being a man who was well spoken or how about Mary who asked, "How can this be, I have not been with a man," when the angel of the Lord informed her that she would give birth to the Saviour of the world.  You know the story of David - the Shepard boy who God made a mighty king.  It's a fact that God uses ordinary men and women to do extraordinary things.  Why can't He use you? 

I would encourage you to read Zechariah 3:1-4.  It says, "Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.  The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"  Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.  The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."  Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.

I have released the security of the blog and it is open for anyone to join.  I didn't realize that the way it was set up before, required people to have a Gmail account.  Let me know if you have any trouble.  I love you all!

Walking in His power,

Jimmy
