If We Ever Needed Prayer, Today Is the Day

We've come to realize the difficulties people have had trying to sign up as prayer warriors at the NET website: http://host.propheciesdecoded.com/.  So, we've made a quick fix to ease the problem, even if temporarily.

Go to the website above, scroll down until you see a box at the far right of the page, saying "To sign up to be a Prayer Warrior for NET 2011, click here." And click there.

Prayer is extremelly important for any endeavor in the name of Christ. Any sincere and focused evangelistic plan will meet with serious opposition from the world of darkness. This controversy between good and evil is real, and it takes many forms.

Here are a few issues we're dealing with right now, that need serious prayer:

1.  Implementation DVD. This is the equipping DVD designed for any church signing early on, planning to make a process (not a mere event) of the evangelistic opportunities offered by NET 11. We've encountered some challenges with the production of this very important 4-hr, full-menu DVD. Please pray the issues may be resolved so the DVD can be finished in time and be a real help to our churches.

2.  NET Finances. The NAD, the Southern Union, and the local conference (KT-TN) are putting a consirable amount of funds to help with this venture, however, we desperately need outside funding to make this work. I've never done professional fund raising, and this is a great challenge, in view of so much on my plate these days. Please pray the Lord will guide our thinking on how to do this, and send donors our way.

3.  The Book. With the start of the semester here at the Seminary--classes and meetings--and my extensive travel schedule since Jan 6, I've not been able to go back to finish writing the book on the Holy Spirit.  My absolute deadline is only days away, and there simply are not enough hours in a day to get this done. I have twelve chapters done and need three or four more to finish it.  Frankly, only a miracle hard to envision would make this possible by January 31. Pray the Lord will help me know what to do and how to do it.

Here is a bit of thanksgiving: We already have about 115 churches signed up for NET 11. This is a good start. Our hope is for hundreds more.

One last thing. Shortly after the live Hope Church Channel telecast of January 8, we received reports the second segment had transmission problems. Hope will rebroadcast the 90-minute segment at the same time as when it was live: 4:30 p.m. EST, 1:30 p.m. PST, on January 22nd and 29th.

Tell your friends.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against . . . the world forces of this darkness . . . Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day . . .
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit . . .
and pray on my behalf . . . to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel."
Eph 6:12, 13, 18, 19
