Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
I was reading the Word tonight and I believe the Lord led me to these specific scriptures as I was praying and considering His leading on this up and coming conference in Ketchikan, Ak. Sept. 24-27th.<\/p>\n
It’s very fitting for the hour…
\nWho is that calling?\u00a0 …Remember the story of the boy Samuel who heard a voice in the night call his name?\u00a0\u00a0 It awakened him and made him try to figure out who was calling him.\u00a0 First, he went to Eli, the priest to whom he had been given by his mother, and said, “Here I am.\u00a0 What do you want?”<\/p>\n
“I didn’t call you,” Old Eli, answered.\u00a0 Then the Lord called Samuel again and again,\u00a0 “Samuel, Samuel.”\u00a0 Eli told him to go back to bed and listen to the voice, for it was the Lord who was calling him.\u00a0 So, Samuel went to bed and listened.\u00a0 Then the Lord spoke to him of the future.\u00a0 And, Samuel become know as a prophet. (1 Sam. 3:1-21) The Lord wants to pour out His Spirit on all of us to hear.<\/p>\n
I remember being alone doing whatever was pleasing me at the time—-reading, writing, daydreaming, when I would heard a voice.\u00a0 Often, I listened closely to figure out who it might be.\u00a0 Of course when I was young, it was possibly the teacher, parents, etc…usually calling me out to come or go some place…that was when I was young. \u00a0 But after I became a committed Christian and learn to pray, to be still and wait and listen, I often prayed, “speak to me Lord and tell me what I should do.”\u00a0 We must learn to hear God’s voice and respond to His Spirit\u00a0 (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:39).<\/p>\n
After reading about Samuel and Eli, I saw a reference that lead me to another familiar story of Barnabas and Saul and I was amazed.\u00a0 “They were worshiping and fasting.\u00a0 It was then that the Holy Spirit called them to “go.”\u00a0 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,\u00a0 “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (Acts 13:2).\u00a0 Well isn’t our theme for 2014, “The Sound of the Lord, Listen!”\u00a0 And, Listen is an Action Word!<\/p>\n
Both these stories lead me to hear a Sound… Its call is to invite, to stir up,\u00a0 all of you who want to join me in a fast and prayer…a call to join the other intercessors in Ketchikan who have been gathering and praying every week for several weeks for the\u00a0PTH Team, the Workshop Speakers, Worship Team and Intercessors and all the Helpers and Hosts and Hostesses.\u00a0\u00a0 All the planning for the up and coming ministry and Conference in Ketchikan, Sept. 24 (prayer rally) 25-27 Conference.<\/p>\n
If you hear this Sound, Call,\u00a0 this Rallying the Troops, and choose to join us.\u00a0 Please feel free to adjust times and dates of your prayer, fast, one or both as you are led by the call “this sound” to pray, lead by the Holy Spirit for South East Alaska and especially Ketchikan and the Conference.\u00a0 We are all looking forward to our prayer time over the next two weeks, and beyond as lead by the Spirit.\u00a0 We are expecting the Holy Spirit to show up like He always does.\u00a0 We are expecting Revival, Redemption, Salvations, Healings, and Deliverances by the sustaining Hand of the Lord,\u00a0 because we have been listening to the Sounds of the Lord and we are preparing.\u00a0 And, when we shall leave that place it shall never be the same again, Amen!<\/p>\n
We invite you all to come, if possible.\u00a0 The meetings will be held at First Assembly of God in Ketchikan…<\/p>\n
Please especially keep Debbie Andreas and Team in Ketchikan lifted before the Lord, as well.<\/p>\n
If you have time drop us a line and let us know you are joining us in prayer and or attendance.\u00a0 We certainly welcome you!<\/p>\n
