Discover the Very Thing That God Created Us to Experience for His Glory!!

"Without worship, we go about miserable." God doesn't want us to be miserable -- He has a perfect plan for our lives. He has done so many things to show us that He loves us and doesn't want us to be miserable. He wants us to have hope for a future with Him --he wants us to have eternal life in heaven with Him.

Influence and change the spiritual climate (atmosphere) of SouthEast Iowa.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

Luke 4:18, 19

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. "

Isaiah 60:1, 2

Many people think that praise and worship is only singing songs at church, but it is so much more! It is also a condition of your heart -- a willingness to exalt God and yield to his will. Worship is an expression of love and awe to the God who gives us more than we deserve.

Whether you express your worship by singing, playing music, dancing or in some other way, remember that you are called to worship God with your every action, every day of your life. God is holy, loving, and worthy of all our worship and devotion.

"Whenever His people gather and worship Him, God promises He will make His

presence known in their midst.

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

Psalm 149

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 149

Pray Globally, Gather Locally

17 – 26 May 2012

“I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth"

Isaiah 62:6-7

The 10 Days preceding the Global Day of Prayer creates an excellent opportunity to unite in prayer with millions around the globe based on Acts 1 & 2 and the day and night prayer help us to gradually build a lifestyle of prayer in our communities, as well as to focus our prayers much wider than our personal and national needs as we pray with millions during this time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The “PRAYER GUIDE” contains 10 Days of Prayer, The Prayer for the World and an Introduction to the 90 Days of Blessing Prayer Guide.”

Pray with one Voice.

27 May 2012

"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together In one place"

Acts 2:1

The single thing that we request every observance to do is to pray the prayer called, "A Prayer For The World" (PFTW), during the event / gathering, no matter how large or small. This is your opportunity to unify in prayer with Christians from across the globe.

“They lifted their voices to God with one accord...”

Acts 4:24

PRAY WITH YOUR CHURCH, GATHER IN HOMES OR ASSEMBLE IN PUBLIC PLACES

United by a Prayer for the World, Christians from all over the world, from different cultures and denominations, from many diverse streams will gather in their homes, or where appropriate, assemble in stadiums, public auditoriums and open squares and many will devote portions of their Sunday morning Service to united prayer. Some meetings will be small. Others will be large, but each one will be praying with the same vision of repentance and hope. As at the first Pentecost, we’ll worship God openly in Christ’s name and pray for the healing and blessing of the nations. As much as possible, we are seeking to gather in places beyond the walls of our church buildings. On this day we are all praying with the world as we pray for the world.

90 Days of Blessing

This is our opportunity to become vessels of blessing through prayer and action.

28 May 2012 – 25 August 2012

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Luke 4 : 18 - 19

The 90 Days of Blessing follows the Global Day of Prayer as an opportunity for Christians to not only continue in persistent prayer, but to actually become the answers to their prayers.

This is an excellent opportunity to challenge the youth and children to go to the neglected places to pray and serve. Their nature is to be there where they can make the difference, so let’s join them in becoming a transformation force in our communities!

“The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me”

Matt 24:40

A Prayer Guide for the 90 Days will challenge you to continue your prayer efforts, but we also want to challenge you to become physically involved in the places that we normally pray for.

Wind of Change Starts in Mid-May

Prophetic Words from Doug Addison

via the Elijah List Website

The month of May brings new alignment with people and resources. God has been arranging things to set you up in a good way! This is a month to meet some of these new connections… they are starting now. This new alignment is not just with people but also with new resources to help get you into this new time of your life.

Out with the Old and in with the New

It is time to do spiritual spring-cleaning and clean out the closet of old seasons and methods that once worked but no longer have life! You have already grown out of some old ways. As you look back at them feel free to discard what once worked but has now lost its effectiveness. Make room for God to bring you the new!

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I

am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not

perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and

streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

Over the past couple of weeks I found myself with an urge to clean out my clothes closet. It is spiritually significant! It is a time to do things differently – try new stuff. As an example, God has been using me to bring fun and laughter to people. I am already an outside-the-box prophetic person. A few weeks ago at a meeting in San Diego, I did something new by playing "Love Shack" by the B-52's as I started praying for people who needed God's touch. The power of God came with such intensity people got healed– physically, emotionally and spiritually! God wants churches to be "Love Shacks".

Don't Hold On to Old

God is moving strongly in new ways this year. We need to be careful to not hold on to our old passions for God (and the way we do things) as He is doing something new. Years ago I was an avid prophetic intercessor praying and worshipping several hours a day before and after work. Then God called me to start a business that took a lot of my time. I was conflicted: I didn't pray like I used to because of my work schedule, but that business financed several church plants and launched our ministry over 15 years ago. It also helped me develop the marketplace prophetic tools I needed to go to a new level that I never dreamed was possible. I nearly missed my appointment with God's destiny because the new thing required me to change and let go of my extended prayer and worship times.

Spiritual Experience

As we start moving into new territories, we may experience some challenges. On April 20th I saw a huge attack of discouragement that was intended to get people to believe they are worthless and not able to change. This was so strong that some people were actually contemplating suicide. The next day I spoke at a church where that very morning one of the leaders committed suicide and I have received many reports that others have tragically done the same. Then in the news we saw the tragic suicide of football player, Junior Seau. Do not give up hope and remember that the greatest storms usually come just before breakthrough.

Prophetic Dream: the Wind of Change Starting to Blow

I had a dream this month of a strong "wind of change" (not winds of change) that started blowing from the ocean onto land. As it approached it blew up debris so strongly that it was nearly blinding. I watched from a place of safety but was concerned for people. Then a huge battleship crashed into the land, hitting buildings. Again I was concerned for the people. In the dream I knew the wind was spiritual, not literal, and it was from God.

There is a massive wind of change that is finally coming. This spiritual climate shift is happening in order to blow away the things in our lives that have held us back. It will remove things we have "battled" with in the past. As long as we are in the place that God has called us, we will be safe. God is blowing away debris and preparing us now for a dramatic change.

We need to embrace the changes that are coming and not be afraid. Fight the discouragement because over the next few months there will be several waves of turn around. It's time to be encouraged – not discouraged! Wind of change starts in mid-May.

Wounded Warriors Being Revived

As the wind of change begins to blow, it will revive many people who have been wounded by negative Christians and church experiences. Many wounded warriors have been taken out of action in the Kingdom of God by "friendly fire" or attacks from other Christians. These wounded warriors will play a strong role in this next move of God. I saw many wounded warriors lying on the Kingdom battlefield with no one to attend to their wounds. Then the wind of change blew life into them. They were strengthened and began to rise up with new vision.
