Last night, Dana and I wrapped up our TLPM Conference w Sweetwater BC, Thomson, GA. It is always a joy to see husbands praying a blessing over their wives / wives blessing their husbands, and parents blessing their children. We prayed for God to raise up the next generation of leaders for the next Great Awakening.
Tomorrow at 2PM CST we meet with Pastor James Blair of Mt. Pisgah BC, near Pell City, AL to pray about a future TLPM emphasis at his church. Pray that God will give us a sense His sense of direction.
Tonight we gather with churches of Thomson, GA at the local football stadium for a TLPM Prayer Rally as they they take part in the National Day of Prayer. Pastor Keith Kurtz of Vine CC has been the leader of this city-wide effort. Stadium gates open at 6:30 PM and the TLPM Rally begins at 7PM.
in 1827, churches in this area were blessed by a wave of the 2nd Great Awakening under the leadership of Pastor A.D.L. Sherwood. It began with a small prayer meeting, and ended with the Baptist churches in the area recording 3,000 baptisms in one year. The Methodists, and Presbyterian churches experienced similar movements. We are praying for God to allow us to be part of something like that again.
Today 40,000 prayer events will be held all over the USA. The mass media will ignore it, but God will not. He is the focus, and He will hear the prayers of His people. Great Awakenings have one thing in common. They were all preceded by prayer. Do your part. Take a knee. It is the only way to take a stand in the battle against evil.
