Going MAD (Blog post for church leaders, only....)

Here's my prayer, AND my words to encourage you for the new year.

I pray that YOU realize how special and crucial you are to this world. The greatest gift the Father gave to the world was Jesus. The second greatest gift that He gave was you. Without you, they will never know Him. I pray that if this is not settled in your heart, that you will get before the Father until it is.

I pray this year that you will develop more than ever a deep commitment to the supernatural power of God, and it's ability to meed the needs of humanity.

I pray that this year you will be consumed with compassion so that you will be more effective in ministering deliverance and freedom to humanity.

I pray that you guard your calling, and that you will be dependable and faithful to the call of God on your life!

I pray that you will be deeply committed against sin, disease, fear, and demonic activity. That you will strive to be an instrument of action and power.

I pray you develop a strong desire to see all of humanity set free.

I pray your prayer life and fasting will shape you into a powerful instrument for God.

I pray that you will not be afraid of the faces, but minister the anointing that breaks every yoke of mankind.

I pray that you will not allow fads, gimmicks, and the spirit of competition drive you into pride and arrogance.

I pray that as you do these things, and keep your heart in check, that 2010 will be the greatest year your church has known to date. More people brought to Christ, more leaders raised up, more resources that your church is able to give more, and that God's dream for your church will become a reality.

I pray that all of you go MAD....go and MAKE A DIFFERENCE....

Praying for you all....
