P.U.S.H

P. U. S. H

With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and stay alert in this, with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. -- Ephesians 6:18

Several years ago my good friend, Dr. E. Glenn Wagner, sent me a card with the word PUSH written on one side. The back of the card said this:
Push Until Something Happens.

Well the Lord has been hammering me about digging deeper in my prayer life, but personally and corporately. The phone at America's KESWICK is ringing off the hook with people sharing burdens, needs and heartaches.

There are families in crisis. People are going through unusual trials. Financial issues. Health crisis es. Last night we received word that one of our recent Colony of Mercy residents was found dead. And the list goes on.

This week we begin seven weeks of intense ministry at America's KESWICK. Hundreds of people will be on campus to DIG DEEPER INTO GOD'S WORD. Our desire is that God will speak to hearts and transform lives.

Beginning this morning, we will be meeting together for prayer from 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM to PUSH = Pray Until Something Happens. If you are local, you are welcome to join us. If you can't join us in person, you can meet us at the throne of grace in spirit.

Come for as long as you can, and leave when you must (well, I borrowed that slogan from the Boardwalk Chapel ... borrowed sounds better than stolen!). There is no agenda other than PRAYER. You can come and pray standing, kneeling, sitting. You can pray silently, or cry out to God.

I shared with you a DIG THIS Quote last week. You might have missed it:

"Whoever wants the next generation most will get them. I want to see the church militant, aggressive, passionate, and revived. It will not happen apart from prayer and unity. -- Michael Catts

If you have a pressing need, I have some folks who have made a commitment to PUSH with you at the throne of grace. Email me your prayer requests and we will PUSH with you.

This special prayer meeting will be held Monday through Thursday in Seminar Room B which is located in the Raws Auditorium building. I trust you will join me as together we Dig Deeper into prayer -- PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

Digging Deeper: Proverbs 22; Psalm 31-32; Acts 23:16-35

Dig This Quote: God is determined to have His child as pure, clean, and white as snow driven snow, and as long as there is disobedience in any point of His teaching, He will allow His Spirit to use whatever process it may take to bring us to obedience. – Oswald Chambers

Determined Digging: Level 1: Isaiah 1:18; Level 2: Psalm 103:1-5

Determined Praying: When God's people face tough times, that's when they need to turn up the heat in prayer. Tough times are no time for God's people to sit by, cold and indifferent. -- Michael Catts
