MAIN WALL ADD POST

Hi. I was sent the following by text. It is taking place in Erdington. Please try & support this by praying, if possible around the time when the prayer walking is likely to take place. Thanks. BRINGING DOWN MOUNTAINS Read Joshua 6 v 2-5, replace Jericho with the territory of our cause (Erdington, Great Barr, Birmingham, etc). Commencing 30/01/12 for 7 consecutive evenings, we will be prayer walking around Erdington High Street preparing the ground for taking over. Themes for prayer: • 1st night: The Church • 2nd night: Government • 3rd night: Families • 4th night: Education • 5th night: Media • 6th night: Arts Starting from the Gospel Hall at 8.00pm every night once around the centre. • 7th night: Business / Technology @ 6.30pm 7 times around the centre finishing at the Gospel Hall with a shout and praise to bring down the walls so we can go forth.

Praise Jesus, the Saviour of the World. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lord says, "Call unto me and I will answer you. I will show you great and mighty things that you know not. Come let us reasontogether says the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool. If you live in Sutton and care about your area, then join us on Friday 10 February 2012( I made a mistake on the previous post, sorry) at 7:30pm at the Gracechurch URC in the Gracechurch Centre for a time of worship and prayer for our town. The Lord has called us to pray because He wants to come and bless us.He wants to save Sutton Coldfield and make us a blessing to others. His people are the first ones to receive the blessing as any good "father" would do.He says" If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. Lets do it God's way and not our way if we really want His blessing. We must love the Lord with all our heart...and love our neighbour as our selves. God is not a man that He should lie....what He says , He will do. Praise His Name.

Hi again.I am excited about what the Lord is doing amongst us. It is marvelous in our eyes.We are praying for Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and our nation for God to come and transform all of us. Are you excited about the Wind of the Spirit that is blowing? If you are not, then rack up some gusto!! At our last prayer meeting on the 2nd Friday in January, there was a picture given about a "wind turbine" blowing and with other turbines making a powerful force. Get in the wind, Sutton. We won't be left untouched. I say Blow Spirit Blow!! Set our hearts on Fire. Bring life and Light into us. Book in your Diary Friday 9th February to Pray at the URC, Gracechurch Centre : A Day of Prayer for Sutton Coldfield. Remember, February is the month of Prayer for our Town. Just do it. Details to follow. Shalom!

It has taken me a long time to get on this wall. I am happy I finally made it. We started a praying group since August 2011 and have been praying on the 2nd friday every month for two hours together 7:30pm to 9:30pm in a church prayer room or in a home. It has been great. We meet this friday in a home in Sutton to pray for 2 hours but we encourage each other to pray every Friday or as often as possible for our churches, families, communities and Government. We are planning to to meet at the Parish Church Hall in february and hope other pray-ers can join us to pray for Sutton. When the people of God come together, God is there in their midst.

I'm organising a month of prayer events beginning Jan 14th through our church community (Duke St Sutton Coldfield) - people are hosting gatherings such as early morning breakfast, late night with hot chocolate, making a prayer collage etc - we will be praying for issues wider than just Birmingham but thought it might encourage people to hear what we're doing.

It struck me recently that the first three elements of the greatest commandment all speak of a conscious attentiveness to God. We are to love the Lord in this way: 1) with all our heart 2) with all our mind 3) with all our soul 4) with all our strength. It strikes me that only the last of these speaks of our service to God and it seems to flow from a deep conscious attentiveness to Him with all of our focus. How many of us seek to love Him with all of our strength, trying to serve Him with ever growing levels of energy and ever-decreasing space in our diaries, consistently finding that the great struggle amidst the serving is to find time to give Him focused attention? Are we missing something?

1 Timothy 2:1-6,8 (1) I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— (2) for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (3) This is good, and pleases God our Savior, (4) who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (5) For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, (6) who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time... (8) Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. Calling the men, it's time for us to be less distracted with our own comfort, with watching football or TV, with being self-absorbed. We have to become leaders and stewards, be disciplined and focused on our mission, our calling and our ultimate goal being with Christ Jesus. Grace and peace!
