Acts 9:1-9

Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. (Acts 9:1-2)
      Lord, there are those in leadership in the Episcopal Church today who seek to persecute your faithful disciples; have mercy on us.

As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. (Acts 9:3)
      Jesus, thank you for being the light to bring us through this time of darkness in the church and in the nation.

Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:4)
      Jesus, please speak to the hearts of those who are persecuting your people.

And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” (Acts 9:5)
      Holy Spirit, please help the leaders of the Episcopal Church respond as Saul did and seek to know who is speaking to their hearts. Speak to the hearts of all those going to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church.

So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” (Acts 9:6)
      Father, lead us all by the hand and bring us to the heavenly city where our hearts will be forever changed.

And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. (Acts 9:7)
      Jesus, move in the hearts of all those who are witnesses to your deeds.

Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. (Acts 9:8 )
      Father, lead the spiritually blind by the hand and bring them to the place you have prepared for them.

And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. (Acts 9:9)
      Holy Spirit, please help those who are spiritually blind to wait on you, to tarry and wait for Jesus to move in their hearts. Thank you.

      A word received: You are in my care; look to me for help and I will bless you. Look to me in the storm. Look to me for my care. Look to me and I will bless you.
      Lord, we look to you; help us to be steady in you.

      Notes from the Front Line

Albany Intercessor

General Convention

O Lord,
We wear the crown of pride. We have made a covenant with death and taken refuge in lies. Oh, that we had taken refuge in You instead. Take pity, Lord. Take pity.
Isaiah 28

Show Yourself strong

Jehovah-jireh,
The Christians in the marketplace are surrounded by Philistines, who cut off their supply lines. The uncircumcised Philistines mock You, but the Christian entrepreneurs and their intercessors are undaunted. They have Your word, and their hearts have been circumcised. Show Yourself strong on behalf of the Christians climbing the economic cliffs of the enemies. Amen.
1 Samuel 13:19; 14:4-14

Ask

Luke 11:8-10 (Amplified Bible)
I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.
For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.

Isaiah 45:11 (King James Version)
Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Earlier in the Luke passage, the disciples say, Lord, teach us to pray. He responds, “When you pray, say . . .” God has been shaking our church and shaking our nation. This is a great grace, so that His children will learn to lean on Him rather than man-made devices.
Now is the time for persistence. He will break through Satan’s confusion, for some people. The harvest is here. In this season, when God gives you a revelation, Pray it and say it. Do not delay.
If you have not already signed up for intercession for General Convention, please do so now.
