Intercession according to the will of God
Posted by tom | Jul 5, 2007Continuing our prayer theme, www.wqotw.org/ highlighted Romans 8:26-28 (& encouraged the reader to open up the Scriptures to continue in Chapter 8):
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. -- The English Standard Version
I would ask you to continue with our family in intercession for Anna Fleming and her family. Also join us in prayer for God's grace in granting a work Visa to IFES' incoming General Secretary Daniel Bourdanné in order for him to be present at the IFES World Assembly, July 11-19, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And if the work VISA does not come through, for clear and helpful communication to occur throughout the conference and in follow-up.
Here are a few more WORSHIP QUOTES on prayer:
Catechism: What is prayer?
Scripture: Invited to pray
Tozer: Scripture or prayer?
C. S. Lewis on intercession
Praise God for the granting a work Visa to IFES' incoming General Secretary Daniel Bourdanné in order for him to be present at the IFES World Assembly, July 11-19, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada! You'll note from an earlier post, he spoke at the conference which I (Tom) attended in Toronto. Daniel and others were delayed in their travel by increased inspections during their flight transfers, particularly in Great Britain. Pray for the evidence of Christ through peace and patience during the return trips by the various conference delegates in a few days. Pray for the provision of safe travel all those in the air and on land.
