•HOPE THIS HELPS! Phil, I hope that I am doing this right; just need some advice. I have been a prayer leader for 10 years and have a prayer team that prays 24 hours a day. I am also ordained. I have been helping other churches plus the one I attend. One of the churches that we help just found out that their pastor has cancer and has become very sick. I was asked to step in to do the Sunday services along with my wife. We accepted but I am feeling just a little nervous, I guess, or confused as whether I should have stepped aside being I am a prayer leader first or should I look at this as an opportunity to serve the Lord more. I love our prayer ministry and I know that prayer is my calling … Should I even be confused at all? Can you help me with some advice? In Jesus name, Pastor Dan - - - Bless you, Dan, For your many years of faithful service to the Lord. The only question that matters, is: "What is the Lord's assignment for me?" When you ar...

A CITY GOES TO WAR In year 1005 there was this city-kingdom in Central Europe whose people were tired of their surrounding enemies raiding them and robbing them of their crops and the like. So they consulted with the leaders and then called a sort of national assembly to decide what to do. They met and made the decision that they needed to wage war against these intruders because after all they had the right and the power to do so. Actually they were more powerful than their enemies so they decided to stop their intrusion. They made a big celebration the night they decided to declare war to proclaim their lack of fear and their serious intentions of getting rid of these pesky enemies. They ate and drank and sung and danced almost all night. The next morning they started gathering the army and soon when they were ready they marched on their enemy's city. They came in full marching power to the gates of their enemy's city and broke down the massive doors to declare with their act...

A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO ASSESS THE PRAYER LIFE OF YOUR CONGREGATION ---} Click the headline to download the complete survey. By Phil Miglioratti Our Purpose It is our goal, that by properly utilizing this tool, the Holy Spirit will give you a clear sense of how successful you are in the quest to become a biblical House of Prayer. The interactive process brings leadership and membership together in a vertical (prayer) and horizontal (prayer birthed discussions) conversation. This conversation is in itself a forward step in the prayer life of the congregation. This is not a “scientific” survey capable of producing a computerized analysis nor is it like a contest in which the average rating of the judges determines the outcome. Each category and question is designed to expose the heart of the congregation for prayer and produce an accurate picture of how faithfully, practically and pervasively that desire is being expressed. No congregation using this tool is in competition with any other. I...

Extreme Church Makeover A Biblical Plan to Help Your Church Achieve Unity and Freedom in Christ ---} Click the headline to read the entire "Prayer Action Plan." The plan is biblical (plenty of scriputre), practical (guidelines for leaders and facilitators) and beneficial (a step-by-step approach for any-sized congregatin of any denomination. From the webiste: It takes more than fresh paint and new carpet to revitalize a church that is entangled in conflict and disunity. Unresolved personal and corporate sin results in personal and corporate bondage. The result is disunity, stagnant growth and interpersonal conflicts. What is needed is a biblical plan of corporate repentance and faith in God that connects the church body to Christ in a liberating way. Thousands of individuals, churches, mission agencies and parachurch ministries have experienced renewed lives after successfully working through Neil Anderson’s Steps to Freedom in Christ. Now Neil Anderson and Charles M...

ARE YOUR CHILDREN HOOKED ON PRAYER?? Our take home pages might help. ---} View the Prayer Jar idea: http://www.teachustopray.com/pdf/ttpj.pdf Like mathematics the key to prayer is practice, practice, practice. In most homes this means reminders, reminders ... reminders. We hope that both our teacher's tips and coloring pages are used in this way...at least once a month. We have done our best to provide enough choices to last a full year without boring anyone. For Partnering with Parents Our favorite TAKE HOME projects are Prayer Jar and The Parents Guide to Prayer. Just these two take home sheets in the hands of responsible parents will guarantee that every child in your class has stuck with at least one prayer long enough to get an answer AND that he or she has at least one prayer partner. What stronger foundation can be given a child than faith in a personal God and a Christian Support Group. These projects should connect the children to the church...for life. For Outrea...

Confessing our Sins Together There is a tendency for us to think of confession as a personal act we do before God. Certainly much confession is of this personal, private nature that is only between ourselves and God. But God’s Word gives us another picture of confession that is corporate in its practice. It is confession from a group of people who are aware of the corporate aspect of their sin and aware that private confession is inadequate to deal with this problem. I believe that the call of God to the Church today is for confession of this type. If we are to see revival in our day, it will come to a people who have humbled themselves together before their God and sought His face. This humility comes as we recognize that much of what has passed for Christianity in our day has been self-centered, worldly and an affront to the Lord. The only way to deal with the sin of the Church is for the Church to confess its sins and repent. The biblical example that comes to mind is the story...
