A week OFF for the Barrett KIDDOS! FALL Break has come to Maricopa! Both Caleb & Isaac have had a week off - and there TIME has been busy! Isaac has been VERY BUSY 'Riding Bikes' and hanging out with Nana & Papa! Caleb actually had a NIGHT 'all by himself' with Nana & Papa - and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
Last night was - what I've been told - A MUST for Phoenix 'Folks' - we frequented ORGAN STOP PIZZA in Mesa! The MUSIC - LIGHTS - BUBBLES absolutely MESMERIZED Caleb & Charis! Isaac wasn't anticipating having much fun - but it was everything we could do to get him to leave when that time came! Pretty cool place! Not a BIG FAN of the Pizza - but the ATMOSPHERE was 'PRICELESS!'
I am currently in 'Beautiful' San Diego - attending our Regional Conference's (CONVERGE SOUTHWEST) Board of Trustees Meeting! A new post I was elected into this past Spring! New adventures - gonna get to play some GOLF tomorrow AM with our District Minister - a 'PERK' that comes with the placement! Incredible WEATHER on the coast - however... I LEFT SOME PRETTY REMARKABLE WEATHER back in AZ this AM!
Sunday Snapshot...
MOUNTAIN MOVING Series / WK3- "WHEN YOU PRAY..."
LUKE 11:1... One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, on of his disciples said to him, “Lord, TEACH US TO PRAY…”
Jesus then SHARES the "WAY TO PRAY" - Matthew 6:9-13
OUR FATHER… Never forget that you are God's CHILD through Jesus Christ!
WHO ART IN HEAVEN… Remember that you are praying to THE "Mountain Mover!" Nothing is too difficult to Him! Set you eyes on His ABILITY - not your worth!
HALLOWED BE THY NAME… Don't allow your prayers to become a WISH LIST - Worship God and Praise Him when you come to Him!
THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN… Submit YOUR will to GOD'S will!
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD… Lay ALL your concerns out, whether Big or Small!
FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS… Be sure YOU are NOT THE OBSTACLE for Unanswered Prayers!
LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL… Pray for Protection & Victory over TEMPTATION!
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER… End your prayers with MORE WORSHIP!
AMEN… Let it be so.
In a condensed VERSION of the Lord’s Prayer – Jesus says this…
Pray REGULARLY! -Not IF you Pray... WHEN you Pray!
Pray PRIVATELY! -God is not IMPRESSED with Public Displays of Piety!
Pray SINCERELY! -God is not IMPRESSED with Formulas!
Pray SPECIFICALLY! -Recognize Him as your Heavenly Father (Daddy) and share your HEART!
At some point in time – if you desire to have an INCREDIBLE PRAYER LIFE – you need to deal with your sins – SPECIFICALLY!
Don't forget... Jesus never taught His disciples how to PREACH - but rather how to PRAY!
