Prayer Spotlight on Bethany Bible Church

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of Him that brings good news, announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness,
who announces salvation (Yeshua!), who proclaims to Zion,
'Your God reigns!' "
~Isaiah 52.7

This week, January 10-Sunday, January 16, 2011, our Prayer Spotlight is on Bethany Bible Church, Pastor Scott Ritter. Other requests that have come to us are also placed before the throne of grace.

"Father in heaven, thank You for Your continual blessings in Christ Jesus. Thank You for building unity in the Body of Christ here in Kenmore, as we come together in the Spirit of the Lord. We look to You to continue this miraculous work of the Spirit in response to Jesus' prayer in John 17, that we might be one, to the glory of God the Father. We give You permission to remove from our hearts everything that gets in Your way...

"We praise You, Lord, that Bethany Bible Church reports a season of praise, as they see You answering their cries, meeting their needs, and leading them in Your victory in Christ. Thank You for delivering Jayne Ritter from cancer. Thank You for providing employment. Thank You for giving wisdom to those in need of guidance...

"We ask that this season on the mountaintop will bring an outpouring of the gospel flowing from Bethany Bible Church into this community, as it is written, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him that brings good news...' 

"Father, please increase Your anointing for service on Pastor Ritter and all his congregation. Warm their hearts in Your Word each day. Increase Your light upon the path You have prepared for them to walk in. Make connections for them to share Jesus in loving deeds and words with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and chance acquaintances this week. Increase the government of Your peace in their hearts and through them into the world, in Jesus' Name."
