These are not my own thoughts or words but they great not only for Free Will Baptist International Missions to consider but also for us in our daily lives...
"DAY 1: WHAT DOES GOD DESIRE FROM US?
We sense we are on task at IM. Trust is up and we have great hope for the future. However, we also sense God has much more in store for Free Will Baptists than we are seeing at this time. We do not want to miss His greatest blessings by satisfying ourselves with His blessings.
If we are going to know God’s best for us we must come before Him as His people and ask with specificity what He desires of us. If we are to know precisely what He wants us to know, several things must happen:
- We must humble ourselves before Him.
- We must ask Him to give us clear direction.
- We must discern what He desires of us.
- We must be committed to obeying His commands.
- We must obey.
- We must give Him the glory.
With these thoughts in mind I would like to ask you to commit to 30 Days of Prayer and Fasting for the future of International Missions. I do not think for one second that Free Will Baptists or International Missions are dying. We have a task to do, and it remains before us until His return.
Pray we will clearly know what God desires from us during this 30 days."
I hope and pray I will always listen and obey the direction God has for the path of my life. I pray that I will clearly know what God desires of me and what His direction is for International Missions.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
