The Well of Prayer

The series "Whats the Name of Your Well?" has been one my all time favorites! I love when a preaching series takes on a prophetic tone. God is opening and re-opening some fresh "wells" at Calvary. I introduced yesterday my prayer focus for Calvary Church. Please join me as we believe God for His very best for "the best is here now"!
I kings 8:27-31
"Can it be that god will actually move into our neighborhood? Why, the cosmos itself is not big enough to give you breathing room, let alone this Temple I've built. Even so, I'm bold to ask: Pay attention to these prayers, both intercessory and personal, O God, my God. Listen to my prayers, energetic and devout, that I'm setting before you right now. Keep your eyes open to this Temple night and day, this place of which you said, "my name will be honored there, and listen to the prayers that I (we) pray at this place." (the Message)
Eight times in Solomon's prayer of the dedication of the Temple he appeals to God to "listen to the prayers" offered from this place! In the same spirit, there are eight things that we are believing God for at Calvary Church:
1. For Calvary Church to be a place of Humility and Repentance!
(II Chron 7:14)
2. For Calvary Church to be a place of Healing and Repentance!
(Joel 2:25)
3. For Calvary Church to be a place for the Power and Presence of God!
(Acts 1:8)
4. For Calvary Church to be a place for the Ministry of Reconciliation!
(2 Cor 5:17, 18)
5. For Calvary Church to be a place of Multi-Generational Praise and Worship!
6. For Calvary Church to be a place to Reclaim the Prodigals!
7. For Calvary Church to be a place of unprecedented Wealth for Ministry & Missions!
8. For Calvary Church to be a Safe Place for Lost and Hurting People!
Amen!!!!!!!!!
