  • "Another prayer" from llamalima

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

    Let us continue in prayer today with a guest prayer from one of my Xanga friends, llamalima (Jen Nung), a brother in Christ who lives on the other side of the world from me (he's in New Zealand, I'm in the U.S.). This excites me very much. We all know our God is not a respecter of persons; Christ's blood has been shed to ransom souls from every tribe, language, people and nation! Once again I give thanks and praise to God for the men and women and boys and girls all around the world He is giving a greater hunger and thirst for Him and a heart and passion to seek after Him.

    May God be gracious to us and send His Spirit to open our eyes so we might examine ourselves now. May His Spirit work in us so we might to submit ourselves to His will and be increasingly conformed ("moulded") into the image of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Another prayer.

    Father God, thank you for your creation, which always reminds me of what a creative God you are. I am thankful that you have created me and have and will continue moulding me towards your image.

    Nevertheless, I now more than ever I want to moan about life, how unfair it all is. I look at myself, and I see so much anger towards others. There seems to be such a difference between what I say and what I do. What my spirit wants to do, my flesh is always in opposition. Lord, I pray that I would look beyond myself and look to others in their plights. I know how much I want to be above everyone else in everything, I pray that I would lay that all down at your feet. All of my dreams, all of my plans, all of my ambitions, all of my selfish ambitions. I pray they would stop burdening me and I would be able to live once again for you.

    I look at myself and see how unfair it all really is. Why me? God, I just wish you would send me to hell sometimes. I hate being a Christian some days, I hate failing you more than I know that I’ve failed myself. I wish that I could continue making my little mudpies thinking I knew what a day on the beach was like. I pray that I would stop failing Lord, strengthen my resolve and lead me through paths of righteousness for your name’s sake.

    The temptation to spill some harsh words on other people sometimes is intolerable. But I don’t want to be the harsh voice that condemns everyone for the smallest sins. But on the other hand, Lord, you know how much I hate offending people…I love to follow the crowd and not be too different to everyone else. The two extremes pull my body apart as I try to please both gods.

    God, I pray that I would be able to draw that line between hateful and loving between breaking and healing. I pray that I would be like Jesus, offensive but healing at the same time, strong enough to injure people’s hearts, but kind enough to heal people’s hearts.

    God, I’ve been thinking a lot today. While the sun shone brightly outside, the shadows cast long over my figure. Within the shadows it was cool and I couldn’t feel the sun’s light. I pray that the shadows would be cast even stronger so I would know how much stronger the sun is shining. I pray that something I do would bring people closer to you as opposed to further, because at the moment that’s all it seems to be doing.

     In Christ’s awesome name, Amen

     And yes it is spelt moulded. =)

  • Lord Jesus, You are the Author and Finisher of our faith.  You begot us by Your Spirit.  We are yours.  You have set us free from the bondage of sin.  Please continue to remind us Who You are and that sin need no longer have dominion over us.  Thank You, our Mighty King.

  • Lord, Touch Jen Nung with your perfect answered prayers in his behalf. We sure thank you for loving him, Lord and know You will do what is right for him. I also thank you for all the people You love around the world and are trying to help. You are so gracious and forgiving. All praise to You, Father.

    Lord your dear Sister here and many of us would sure like Your Spirit to produce in us the kind of joy that Jesus offers. We thank you for that.

    Help Your People come to the aid of those in Haiti. Grant the wonderful Christians there all the strength and faith they will need to get through their horrible ordeal, but still one in which You can minister to both the saved and the lost.

    Father, I just want to thank You that in Your mercy You are apparently giving this old man another day to live.

    amen

  • Father,

    We praise You that Your Holy Spirit does not let us remain in our sin, but continues to mold us and conform us into Your Son's image.

    Jer. 18:3 So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel.
    4 And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

    5 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
    6 O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the LORD. Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

    Be gracious to us. Continue Your work in us as Your have promised. We are all prone to wander like Israel. Apart from Your sovereign Spirit's sanctifying work we remain hard and recalcitrant. Continue to soften our hearts, make us moldable clay. Keep us planted by Your streams of living water and abiding in You and may we let Your word abide in us so we might not sin against You.

    Give us hearts of love and anoint our lips so we might have that right balance of grace and truth which came in our Savior Jesus Christ and dwells in us by His life in us. May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, our Rock and our Redeemer.

    May You be glorified in us. Amen.

  • Lord, be with us and help us in all of our "Romans 7" battles.

    In Jesus' Name

    Amen

"he called it the tent of meeting..."

I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the reformation and reviving of Christ's church.

The phrase tent of meeting comes from Exodus 33:7: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

This site is devoted to God first and foremost. In all that is done here, my prayer is that God is glorified and His Name magnified and Christ and Him crucified is lifted up so He might be preeminent and God might receive all the praise, honor and glory due His Holy Name. All who have come to a saving knowledge of our Father by grace through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are welcome to enter this tent of meeting to seek the Lord.

This blog is a place for all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to come and seek God's face for revival. My intention is for this tent of meeting to be a holy place where we can enter into PRAYER together to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit leads you, please enter into prayer either here (think of "comments" as prayers) or on your own.

Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
