Those you have called/chosen Step up!!!!

[Connie S]

Lord I do want to thank you for the revelation of how to pray for Justin.

Removing the desires that are not of you God and replacing them with your desires. A love for you,me his wife and the ministry you placed in our hands in the beginning of our marriage. Forgive us God for the mishandling of it.,

allowing it to become completely dry. Bring us both prostrate before you

putting all the remnants of our marriage & your ministry.

Forgive us for not being the watchmen you called us to be in Ezekiel,removing the blood from our hands.

I am thankful that you call the least among us.

For we see our calling,not many smart men,after the flesh

not many strong or noble are called

You Lord chose the foolish things of this world to

confuse the smart men

u chose the weak things to confuse mighty men

The very base of the world,things despised u have chosen God

Things which don't exsist now do

Only u can recieve Glory this way

U give to us wisdom,righteousness,& santification & redemption

He that glorys let him in the Lord

How thankful I am to you God that I on the bottom of the world despised

you took me (nothing) and brought forth something in you.

not being wise or mighty you can use me to confuse those who are

not of you Lord.

May I choose my speech not to be a man pleaser with inticing words of mans wisdom,but in a full demonstration of the Spirit & power

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than any man

and the weakness of God is stronger than any man.

Use us oh Lord as you seek fit. Anywhere,anytime

When u ask who will come with u WE WILL

no matter the trouble that surrounds us lead us in your path

do not let your people see problems as a weakness in you,

we are flesh it has nothing to do with our calling

Many are called, few are chosen

those that are chosen lift us high in your power let all signs and wonders follow your ministry,place each of us where u would have us be.

No matter how small or great it is.

When you come in all your Glory on a white horse we will RIDE Lord

All this i ask in Jesus name

Father, come to Connie in unmistakable ways. Honor this heartfelt prayer with leading, wisdom and discernment. Give her eyes to see, ears to hear, a heart that understands Your will for her life. Honor her dedication to follow Your word and walk in Your ways. Bring her peace, comfort, forgiveness and joy as You lead her through this time. I ask these things in the name of our risen Savior, Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Father, I ask for Your blessings to be upon Connie and upon her prayer. You tell us that You only chastize those that You love, and when we feel the effects of our sins we know that You in Your love are calling us back. We have all fallen short Lord, that is not an excuse to do so, or an excuse to rely on for forgiveness, but rather it is an acknowledgement that You know our limitations and that we are but mere humans apart from You. For so long in my life, I thought that sin was the start of seperation between us and You, sin is the result of us seperating from You and Your will over our lives. I pray for Connie and Justin, that they will both surrender their lives fully into Your hands, walk by Your side, and return to the ministry they shared. The verse that keeps coming to me is, "but seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." I thank You Lord for the ways You have to turn us around, the pain is sometimes hard to bear, but the rewards are unspeakable. I also thank You for the calling You have placed in their lives, and I pray that You are preparing the way for them to return to this and that maybe this time in their lives can be used in their ministry. Return to them the love of yesterday, reinstill in their hearts what has been taken from them by the enemy. I just lift them to You Lord, and give You the praise for never letting us go. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord I am in agreement with Connie's prayer. Thank you for her witness, her strength, and for your comfort to her. We thank you for the prayers she sends up for others and we thank you for her diligence, her faithfulness, and for her spirit filled heart. Protect her and Justin, bless their marriage, and bring them to your throne in a way that they have never experienced before.

In Your Name,

Amen

Connie, I ended my first reply before I could write something here for you. I was brought to tears when I read your reply to my post today, tears of sorrow that I had not started with the work that He has called for me to do. Financially it would be impossible to do right now, finances is one of the things I have been praying for. I know that He has been moving in that, but I think He was wanting me to get the hunger back in my heart to do His work. That is the point that I am at right now, If He will pull me through this than I am more than ready to shut my business down and pursue the ministry. I believe with all my heart that He is making the way. I realized after I read your reply that I was not doing what I really wanted to do, and I believe that He is taking you through some of these trials to bring you back into His harvest. I would have e-mailed you with this, but I believe there are others that can be touched by this, others that He is wanting to use in His service. Once that hunger for His work gets in you it is overwhelming isn't it, I will continue to pray for both of you, and trust in Him to bring you through. God bless, as I know He will, just stand firm.
