Friday is for Vision - Guess what God is doing? Come and see.

Men of God,
 
What is the Vision?  Guess what God is doing?
 
Last week on Wed night at 5pm, 5 men met to pray with each other, for each other, and over each other.  We prayed for our church, our wives and our families.  We prayed for the other men in our church and in our city.  We asked God to send more men.  We prayed for an hour and God moved.
 
This week on Wed night at 5pm, 7 men met to pray with each other, for each other, and over each other.  We prayed for our church, our wives and our families.  We prayed for the other men in our church and in our city.  We asked God to send more men.  We prayed for an hour and God moved.
 
Next week on Wed night at 5pm, more men will meet to pray with each other, for each other, and over each other.  We will pray for our church, our wives and our families.  We will pray for the other men in our church and in our city.  We will ask God to send more men.  We will pray for an hour and watch God move.
 
It starts as one drop, then several drops, then a light drizzle, then a heavy downpour, and finally a torrent.  
 
It starts as one man praying, then a hand full of men coming together to pray, then  a church of men praying becomes a city of men praying and soon a torrent of men praying.
 
I have a Vision to see 1000 men praying and worshipping at Centerstage on Sep 8th from 6-9pm. 
 
What is God doing?  Come and see.  Be part of the downpour.
 
When Nehemiah had a Vision to rebuild the walls around Jerusalum he was a thousand miles away working as a slave in another realm.  What could he possibly do?  Yet God prepared the way and made him cupbearer to the most powerful man of that time.  He had the ear of the king, not just any king, but the king who controlled Jerusalem and most of the known world.   
 
He planned, he prayed, he waited.  Then when opportunity came he was ready.  The king asked him what he wanted and he had a list prepared...Make me govennor of Judah, give me a letter of safe passage, a letter of credit to the keeper of the king's private forest (Persian Home Depot) and give me leave to go home.  And guess what, the king did all that and sent troops with him to make sure he got there safely.
 
Maybe God has given you a Vision.  Maybe you think Nehemiah was lucky that it all worked out that way.  Nehemiah was not lucky, he was ready. 
 
Are you ready?  Plan, Prepare, Pray.  When the time is right, God will open the doors.  Be ready.
 
What is God doing?  Come and see.  Be part of the downpour.
 
When God Reigns, God Rains!
