I am so thankful to the Lord and to you for your friendship as we journey together in these daily reflections. I thank God for all your encouragement, prayers and support for my family and One Direction Community that help us minister the healing love of God—healing from the inside out, preparing the way of the Lord. With your encouragement and support we are able to with “boots on the ground” both meet people out in our community and invite them into our home and help people beset free from all that would hold them back from being all God created them to be in their identity, maturity, and authority.
May the love and blessings of God our Father overtake you and His favor rest upon you in this season of Thanksgiving and the hope and joy of Christmas to come. May you receive today all the goodness of God.
Please let me know if there are any particular ways my family and those of One Direction Community can be praying for you. This evening will gather in my home to share a meal, worship, open God’s Word, and pray. I would love to offer your prayer requests up at our gathering for us to petition the Lord on your behalf in prayer. Post your prayer requests in the comment box below to grant us, and others join in these morning reflections the opportunity to pray over your requests. You can also email your prayer requests to garyl@onedirection,community. We couldn't do this ministry and fulfill our calling and destiny in Christ without your encouragement, support and prayers, and you can not fullfill your calling and destiny without encouragement, prayers and support.
My family, I speak Paul’s prayer over you this morning and pray you receive and claim it. “I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him, - since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened - so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe…” (Ephesians 1:16-19) In Jesus name. Please pray the same over me. God bless you my friends!
