which is able to build you up
and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified."

Dear saints,which is able to build you up
and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified."

Praise God for giving us each other as part of our inheritance in Christ. May we truly grow in our devotion to each other, just as Christ is devoted to us.
This week, I'd like to share with you a prayer written by Wayne Dillard on the morning of April 3, 2010, not knowing it would be the day he would go home to be with our Savior in heaven. (See prayer just below Spotlight.) Kathleen Dillard continues their ministry of encouragement to prayer and good deeds: www.prayercentral.net
Prayer Spotlight for this week April 3-9: We continue prayer for Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Pastor John Fergueson, that they would hit their target, reach the prize, and fulfill their destiny in and through Jesus Christ our Redeemer.

Wayne Dillard’s Resurrection Prayer
"I was thinking about Christ this morning, and His resurrection. How He ascended and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. And how He is now represented on earth through His Body, the collective believers He is gathering together from every tongue and tribe and nation. We are His voice, and hands and feet, and together, as we each move in obedience to the Holy Spirit we represent Him in this dark and fallen world.
"What a privilege, what a blessing, to be in this world, but not of it. To be a reflection of hope to those in despair. To be the ones who call out into this cave of darkness, “over here, over here, we found the way out!” We have been rescued by the death and resurrection of Christ, and we now have the privilege of bring that ‘Good News’ to others.
"Prayer:"I bless you in the name of Christ, whose blood covers the doorpost of your life, whose death set you free from darkness, and whose resurrection empowers you to glorify His name through bold acts of faith.
"I bless you in the name of the One, who loves you with an everlasting love, who knows all your thoughts, catches ever tear, and hears every whisper. The One who makes a way when there is no way, and brings streams in the midst of your desert.
"I bless you with the peace of Christ that passes understanding, and carries you up and over the obstacles of life. The knowing that there is more than you can see, and that in Christ you live and breathe and move and have your being.
"I bless you with the resurrection power of Jesus, that calls you to your place, unites you with fellow believers, equips you for exploits and sends you forth with boldness and purpose.
"May Jesus, the son God, the Christ, the Lamb that was slain for the sins of the world, the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, the One true God, who reigns and rules forever be represented through your life, and glorified by your faith, love and obedience.
"In the mighty and worthy name of Jesus, Amen."Wayne Dillard
April 3rd, 2010
We have also received prayer requests for a family facing opposition to the gospel among its generations, resulting in serving a cult, in addictions and multiplied sorrows. Let us pray for deliverance for A.H.'s family, by the power of God who is greater than all our enemies, in Jesus' Name and for His sake.
Thank you and bless you for praying for each other! Let's continue to agree with the Eternal God, Jehovah, for the transformation this city through the presence of Jesus in His Body here, by the power of His Spirit indwelling all the saints. Praises to Him forever!
