BASICS Prayer Meeting @LaGuardia 10/21/08

"And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

“Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience.  The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience.  To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.” Of God and Men, 52. A.W. Tozer “When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life.  But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.”

Success and the Christian, 46-47 A.W. Tozer

Live from LaGuardia! Preaching to the "Smoking Section!"

Check these videos out: (don't worry... they're nice and short!)

Jonathan was preaching here to the "smoking section"!

In this one, you gotta listen to the end... I loved the way the Lord used my brother when he said that Jesus Christ gave his life for homosexuals!! Amen!!! God's love is amazing for sinners, not only homosexuals, but for all!"

Handing out tracts!

Note: Keep praying and preaching the Gospel. God really is at work. Short testimony: After we finished preaching to this crowd a young man came over and started having a conversation with us. God was really convicting him of his sin. You can actually almost touch the conviction on people. Sometimes they can shake YOU off easily, but they can't shake off the HOLY GHOST!

This is Pilar and I. Pilar is the student leader of CCN at LaGuardia. She is 

such a blessing and a lot of help. Her sister, Natalie, and Pilar have a real love for Jesus. Praise the Lord for them!

!!!BACK TO BASICS!!!!

LAGUARDIA IS GOING BACK TO BASICS

PRAYER

Check out what Scriptures says:

Colossians 4:2-6: "2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

If you want to share the Gospel, prayer needs to set the stage (v. 2), so that doors of opportunity would open (V. 3) and that the message that is given be given with clarity(v. 4), wisdom, zeal (v. 5), and even apologetics (v. 6b).
