  1. S: Acts 4:29 "And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

    O: After Peter and John were released from prison, the believers in Jerusalem prayed to God for boldness in the midst of threatening speech. They also asked for healing power and miracles be performed along with signs and wonders in Jesus name.

    A/P: Jesus, as I enter week 10 of the IAM2 group, I wonder about its future. I believe that you are working and believe that we'll encounter some resistance. Give us boldness and ask that you perform miracles in the hearts and lives of Sara, Amanda and Dawn. Draw them to yourself. Sustain Sara's baby who is under 2 pounds. May her faith in you grow through this miracle of your sustaining power in Maddox's life. In Jesus name. Amen

  2. S: Ezekiel 47:4-8 (TLB)
    4 He measured off another 1,500 feet and told me to cross again. This time the water was up to my knees.
    5 Fifteen hundred feet after that it was up to my waist. Another 1,500 feet and it had become a river so deep I wouldn’t be able to get across unless I were to swim. It was too deep to cross on foot.
    6 He told me to keep in mind what I had seen, then led me back along the bank.
    7 And now, to my surprise, many trees were growing on both sides of the river!
    8 He told me: ""This river flows east through the desert and the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea, where it will heal the salty waters and make them fresh and pure. "

    O: 1The Lord keeps leading Ezekiel into deeper water (in his vision)2) Finally the water becomes too deep to cross, without swimming, and the Lord leads him back to shore. 3) God shows him how land and the Dead sea have been healed by the water. Everywhere it is fruitful.

    A/P: Lord, I praise you for bringing me deeper and deeper into intimacy with you. I know that you have led me here, it isn't something I merit or deserve. I want to go deeper still, but you know what is best. I thank you for this special time the last 3 weeks to really focus on you. Lord, you are the living water. It doesn't matter how dead or corrupt any person is, they can be healed by you if they come to you the source, and drink from your rivers. Lord, I pray especially for Magda, Hana and Jana (who I met yesterday), and Sharka. Lord, may my life be a blessing to them. May my light so shine before them that they see my good works, and glorify God. Lord make me bold, and help me to share you with them. I don't see the broken, hurting, barren side of their lives Lord, but I know they do not have the abundant life. May your Spirit and living water flow through me to them, and may their lives be transformed when they come to you Jesus. Amen.
