 Devotional Thought

~Women of Minnesota~

A call has been sounded and it is a call to pray.  Something is stirring stronger and faster than ever before. The story of the woman anointing Jesus in Matthew 26 depicts intercession in a very deep way.  A woman called to the feet of Jesus, to pour upon Him that which would ultimately predict His death, and an anointing that she could not have known about. However, through her immediate obedience, three things happened, God was glorified, her life was transformed and generations were marked for eternity all because in one moment, one woman set herself apart for more than what she could see in herself and stood in the gap!  A challenge to us all, there is power in prayer, and we may never see the results on earth, but something is happening in the spiritual realm every time we set ourselves apart to pray!

Principles of War: A Handbook on Strategic Evangelism, by Jim Wilson

“It has been fought in primitive tribes, world-wide conflicts and in Heaven itself.  The Lord Jesus Christ says that war and rumors of war will be with us until the end.  The Christian faces its presence in all forms but we especially fight for the souls of a world enslaved to sin.  Our Commander-in-Chief will decide when this war is over.  Until then we can be thankful that war has been around long enough for Christians to learn something. Since we cannot end it, ignore it or surrender, it is of some importance that we learn how to win.”

“Through contemplative prayer we can keep ourselves from being pulled from one urgent issue to another and from becoming strangers to our own and God’s heart.”

From In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen
