O Lord, We Want to be Fully Occupied with You!
Thank You, Lord, for being the Word that defines, expresses, and reveals all that God is. Open our eyes that we may no longer be blinded by so many other things that only drain our heart of love toward You. Oh Lord! We want to set our entire being, our spirit, soul, and body with our heart, mind, and strength absolutely on You! Lord, in this day, gain our heart! Lord, may our entire being be lost and occupied alone with You. Oh Lord Jesus! Dear Lord Jesus, for this we cry out to You right now! Have mercy on us Lord, to make us a people with a full and absolute consecration, that no disappointment, no human achievement, no person, no matter, not any kind of situation or circumstance would cause us to lose Your smile. Lord, make us a people living in the light of Your shekinah glory. (from the burden expressed in the training)
Video Trainings
Video trainings continue and, due to need for translating, some in other nations have not yet started. Lord, may every video training be full of Your new mercies to turn us again to Your desire and Your purpose.
Southern California Spanish-Speaking Conference
The conference will be January 18 to 20 in Anaheim. These days are for the seeking of the Lord’s blessing through fellowship on His up-to date speaking and present burden. The messages will be given in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish and the meetings are open to all the saints. On the Lord’s Day, we will conclude the conference with an overflow and blending time in the nearby churches. At the same time, we will have a Young People’s Conference and meetings for the children. The invitation (English & español) is at https://churchinlosangeles.org/prayer.
Australia
The national conference on Prayer and the Lord’s Move for His Unique Work ends the middle of this week. Afterwards Dick Taylor and James Lee will be visiting churches throughout Australia. Lord, bless the churches in Australia that they may “persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving” (Col. 4:2) so that You may move forward there.
India
Palakkad is a large town in southern India. The saints received a burden from the Lord to preach the gospel to the gentiles and to bring them into His kingdom. At present they are doing this. There is some restriction from a Hindu communal group. The saints plan to establish the Lord’s testimony on January 20, 2013. May the Lord establish the church in Palakkad.
