When you pray… Don't beg.Don't bargain.Don't blame. Ask to be blessed. Subnit to God as you seek the path for this prayer. Know that when you "knock" you are trusting in hope God will bless you regardless of the mess that prompted your prayer. Ask to be blessed in a way that the ultimate result is being more like Christ because you are walking and working with Christ, regardless f the "thing" you are petitioning God for. #ReCenterCHRIST into every prayer. Phil Miglioratti
Read more…Strategic Prayer — #ReimaginePRAYER From Prayer Activities to Prayer-Shaped Ministry Are you wondering how prayer can become more than an opening ritual, emergency response, or a ministry team for prayerchampions? Prayer is often the first thing we say we believe in and the last thing we actually redesign around. We open meetings with prayer. We pray when there is a crisis. We ask people to pray for needs, decisions, illnesses, missionaries, ministries, and events. All of that matters. But…
Read more…One of the most clarifying insights in my journey as a person of prayer was realizing: this is a gift! Not everybody shares this gift! In C. Peter Wagner’s Prayer Shields, he talked about how all of the gifts are in the minority. More of our bodies are not eyes than are eyes. More of our bodies are not hands than are hands. And so whatever the exact number of spiritual gifts may be, each one is probably only around 5-10% of the body. And of those, not everybody exercises the gifts they…

"Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.” Colossians 4:12-13 >>>Click for the Clip
Read more…An Ancient, Apt, Pithy, and Profound Penitential Prayer One of the shortest prayers in the Bible is the one uttered by the penitent publican in the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, which is recorded in Luke 18:9–14: And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. —Luke 18:13 (AV/KJV) This short prayer is a part of the origin of one of the most famous Christian prayers…
Read more…Praying With Jesus For An Unknown Missionary Phil Miglioratti Decades ago, I was struck by a very simple, brief, public service announcement that I heard on the radio while driving. That announcement from decades ago continues to play in my mind. It has forever changed the way I relate to a specific set of people. “How should I treat a disabled person?” was the question asked in the promo. “Like a person” was the eye-opening answer. That simple truth reminds me to take time to…

PART 1 Pastor Bernardo Stamateas INTIMACY: IT´S THE SECRET3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 1st CORINTHIANS 4:3-4, NIV. God moves Himself BY commands, not by tasks, needs, or problems. NO! He is moved by HIS DESIRE, that is, a COMMISSION. He didn't go to see Lazarus when he was sick.HE doesn't move to put out a…
