25 TIME SLOTS LEFT!! LETS FILL IT UPPP!!!!
| | |
| HI ALL!
Its Vivian again! How are you guys
doing? Its such a blessing to see some of you guys at 3pm every
Sunday--don't give up! I know its a bit chilly outside but until the
temperature warms up, we'll be meeting at First Baptist.
I just wanted to send out another reminder about the 24/7 Prayer.
I know the letter attached explaining the 24/7 prayer is a bit long and
tedious to read---but if you are serious about disciplining yourself to
get closer to God, then I encourage you to read it. Its not just about
doing what is "right" (aka- prayer) but its about building a lasting
and initimate relationship with Him.
So far I've only gotten 10-12 people--and I will announce it at
the Seekers Praise Night and will be anticipating a few more! SO PLEASE
EMAIL ME BACK--ASK QUESTIONSS--I will gladly answer them.
Meanwhile,
if I get at least 24-48 people, we will start this in the middle of
Feb. and go on to the middle of April. I hope that sounds cool with
y'all!
ALSO-- there is a praise night with Seekers Christian
Fellowship on Feb. 10th (Saturday) at First Baptist Church from 6-9PM.
Seekers from across the city will be there to praise and share--so be
sure to support our brothers and sisters in High school :)
Acts Effect will also be doing some community service and outreach soon so keep your eyes open to our xanga and email!
Well--thats it for now Lovelies--I'll keep y'all updated!
Sincerely,
Viviannnnnnnnnnn SHibata.
**********************************************************************
Come
and join me...this isn't a cool revolution of any sort--but it is
relevant...please please read!! I know its long...forgive me. I like to
ramble and stuff.
One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD Psalm
2 7 : 4
all the days of my life,
4
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
/
and to seek him in his temple.
7
Goal:
"to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple"
through daily encounters with Him. God is beautiful and glorious beyond
compare—if we gaze upon His beauty, we will not only see how great our
Maker is, but also how much He loves us. Perhaps we'll become like
Moses and glow from being in God's presence! When we seek God, we will
learn who He is and His heart's desire for our lives. He said that if
we seek Him, we would find Him. As much as we want to say that this is
not about us (I call that false humility!!) it has everything to do
with us because it is about a relationship.
Why should I do it?:
+++1 Luke 18
Then
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always
pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who
neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that
town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my
adversary.'
"For some time he refused. But finally he said to
himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because
this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so
that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "
And the Lord said, "Listen
to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for
his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting
them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
God
will bring justice and answers to our holy cries. He will make the
wrong right and He will do it through revival. Revival is not just
great music and dancing—it is God fighting against evil and injustice
by turning people's hearts back to Him.
+++2 Luke 2:36-38
There
was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of
Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years
after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She
never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
Coming up to them (Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus that is) at that very
moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who
were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
The prophetess
Anna prayed and fasted for 77 years and was the first to recognize
Jesus as they were walking in the marketplace. She was also the first
evangelist in the bible.
If we devote ourselves to this, we will
recognize Jesus for who He is. How many of us can say that we will
recognize Him when He returns one day? I know I can't—and by seeking
God daily I believe I will learn so much about Him that I will know Him
when He is here.
+++3
Imagine a bridegroom walked up to
his bride and gave her book and said: "here is a book I wrote for you
about me so we'll never have to speak again."
It says in the bible
that we are the brides of Christ (calm down men, it doesn't emasculate
you). God did not give us the bible so we can just read it and know
Him—He wants to speak to us through it so we can learn about our
bridegroom. This is about an intimate relationship between the Creator
and the Creation.
+++4
UNITY within the body of Christ. When
we tune into what God is saying to each of us, God's people will come
together because each of our stories loom into a greater story that God
is unveiling through each of us. There will be accountability.
+++5
It
is recorded in Christian history that every time there is a 24/7
intercessory prayer movement, there is also revival and justic.
(Google if you're interested:)
- Seoul,
Korea//1960s-present: under the leadership of David Yongsi Cho, night
and day prayer has been going on for over 30 years and because of that,
Korea is sending out thousans of missionaries to touch upon Asia
- Jerusalem//1000 BC: King David and King Solomon financed
full time singers and musicians for night and day prayer
- Herrnhut, Germany//1727 AD: Count Zinzendorf started a night and
day intercession that lasted 120 years--it caused a missionary zeal in
europe and beyond.
---and counting.
Lets get to the fun part….HOW?
This 24/7 intercession requires commitment. (I can already see people turning away? COME BACK!!)
• To set aside 30-60 minutes every day to come into His presence to seek His face
• To do this everyday for 3 months
•
To be accountable for the people praying before and after you by
calling them to remind them of their time and also praying for their
personal request—do not be afraid to talk!
• To find a quiet place to worship (you can use your iPod, live instruments etc)
• To read scripture while interceding, worshipping or doing devotionals
•
Each of us can pray for individual prayer requests and general
prayers. I will try my best to send out an email off prayers every week
for the whole group to pray about.
NO ONE is limited to a
structured way of doing this. If you find yourself enjoying God's
presence in a different setting, go ahead and do so. These are just
suggested guidelines. The only definite thing is seeking His face daily.
THIS
DOES NOT exempt us from praying the rest of the day. Through this daily
discipline, our hearts will learn to pray every moment—so if you pray
with your family, church, or before meals—please continue to do so. ?
NOT
EVERYONE can and is called to do this. This is undoubtedly a difficult
task—but how much more is God seeking US? If God did not love us so
much…if God did not want to be with us so much, He would not have sent
Jesus down to die for us—and He would not have told us He is coming
back for us. This task will discipline us to seek Him every day—and
from what I hear, the reward is greater than the effort.
Now
after hearing all this, I hope and pray you will join me in this. I
know I will have a hard time doing this (I naturally suck at doing
devotionals and quiet times) —but that's why we have the body of Christ
to support us. More than ever, God has placed an urgency in my heart to
seek Him and to know who He is. Recently, I had a rude awakening during
a conference—I really don't know Jesus as I should. I have no idea what
His face looks like (not literally—spiritually) and because of the
distance between God and I, I have no idea what He has for my life. I
don't know my Maker.
I
urge you to put down your worries of what you cannot do and let God
take care of that. I urge you to refill the oil in your lamp before you
run dry through other ministries and serving. If we seek Him first,
everything else in our lives will be given to us.
At
the end of the 3 months, we will gather together as a group to share
and have a time of worship. During that time, we'll share what we
learned about Him and I believe something tremendous will happen.
If you feel led to join me, please email me at
Acts3.1@gmail.com
Please copy and paste and fill out the following in the email.
Full Name:
Intercession Session (time):
Phone number:
At least 24-48 people are needed to do this and I believe God will lead more than enough people to do this.
I
don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did (this is
starting to sound like a Backstreet Boys song…), and what history you
share with anybody or me—I want to you disregard ALL that and just look
to God. Find out if this is what you can commit to.
I
know it sounds harsh--but if this was easy, it would not be rewarding.
Besides, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't be nice to people
any more--I'd love people and that requires TOUGH LOVE. Yeah.
Anyway--
pray about it--and I look forward to your
replies. (questions, comments, criticisms--please do reply) Forwarding
is highly encouraged :)
In Christ,
Vivian Shibata
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
