This week's planned lesson
The Power Up Protocol
"And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about" (Luke 4:14).
Luke 4 opens with Jesus being "full of the Holy Ghost." He is then led into the wilderness for 40 days of fasting and satanic temptation. Verse 14 is the spiritual switch. It marks the transition from private discipline to public dominion.
Many believers fast and get weak; Jesus fasted and got strong. We must learn the difference, it's because fasting AND prayer go together.
Power up with us in Point Roberts, WA.
Prayer Time:
While we are at the US and Canada border each time, we pray for the leaders of both Nations, the people living there, any urgent situations Internationally and any specific situations we want to agree on.
If you are attending the meeting, we are always ready to pray for you to get healed, give your life to Jesus or get help from God for any situations.
Due to being older and having God help us with a very long list of difficult, heartbreaking and 'impossible' situations, we have enough faith to assist most situations with high confidence.
We also pray for other churches, evangelistic meetings and any prayer requests from ministry partners or people who have asked for group prayer.
Prayer changes things!
What will we be doing?
Starting at 1 pm, we will be having an informal time for everyone to get to know each other and welcome new visitors.
Then we will transition to opening our Bibles and doing a study on this week's topic or we may have someone in our group share a testimony or something they learned from the Bible or got in answer to prayer. (We love testimonies!)
After the Bible teaching, we have a discussion and answer questions. We wait on the questions because many times, people already get the answer from the Bible or someone's testimony. This let's them know that God is very interested in helping them and that we aren't the focus of the meeting as leaders or the ultimate experts.
During the meeting, we are ready to pray for people who need physical healing or other problems they would like a prayer of agreement with.
We often see immediate and complete results, if not, we keep learning what else we can do to help things along.
This is an Africa Style meeting- Bring a Bible, chair and a drink if you can. We do have extras.
Right now, we don't have children's class and we prefer they join in.
