THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART

Around the first of the year I told a church friend of mine that I'd really like to have a weekly Prayer Meeting at our home. The Lord had just put this desire on my heart again. We had one several years ago, before we started traveling in our RV for 4 years, and then about 4 years ago we had a couples Bible Study in our home.


I voiced this desire to this friend and then just never felt like God was leading me on to pursue it. In January of this year one of my church friends started a Monday morning Bible Study in her home and I began attending that. The following month, in February, another friend started a Tuesday evening Bible Study in her home. She lives about 30 miles from me and I told her I'd come the first week to help her get started but didn't really feel like I could drive 60 miles a week to attend another Bible Study. After the first meeting I KNEW I had to be involved in this Bible Study and have been attending every since. I just felt like God was telling me to support these two Godly woman in their calling, vision and purpose.


About 3 weeks ago my friend, Carmel, who headed up Cry Out America for our Wagoner County, called me about the Lord putting it on her heart to start a Prayer Group and wondered if Mickey & I would help her. It immediately spoke to our heart

and we told her we would definitely help her and would be happy to open up our home for it. She was delighted with that offer.


"Delight thyself also in the LORD and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4


We were going to be going out of town for the Revival in Arkansas so I told her I'd get with her when we got back. She came over Thursday and we will have our first meeting in 3 daya..... Friday night!!!! When it is truly of the Lord you just know it and He does give us the desires of our heart in His perfect timing.


SOOOO Friday night, October 9th, we are having A Call To Arms for S.W.A.T (Spiritual Weaponry Attack Team) Prayer Meeting at 7 p.m. at our home in Coweta.


When we heard Carmel's vision: "I know it will be glorious and right in the center of Gods will. I look for signs,miracles,and wonders. I look for great refreshing as we focus in on Him and be in one accord.and I'm asking for a Spirit of prayer to be poured out on us and the Holy Ghost to come in like a flood and pour on us and in us.I know as we pray we will see results." we knew we had to be part of this.



We won't be outside on a beach but we will definitely be lifting up our hands together in prayer. Please join us if you can.


Thank you Lord for being such a good, loving God to us and blessing us so.
