“You can’t have a picnic in a war zone!”

That’s what Pastor Baker Rigg told me yesterday morning after the monthly Culpeper Ministerial Association (CMA) meeting. I learned that Baker began intense weekly prayer and worship services at his church, Church on the Rise [http://church-on-the-rise.org/index.htm] (1136 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper, VA 22701) on Monday evenings (7 pm).

We are in a war – a spiritual war. It seems that most of God’s children are not even aware of the intense spiritual battles going on, let alone being engaged and properly prepared for war.

Prayer is how we fight the battles against our enemy. Now more than ever in my lifetime, America needs our prayers. “Prayer for such a time as this” is the theme for the NDP this year.

During the CMA meeting yesterday, Nancy Sharman shared a powerful and inspirational devotional about prayer. Nancy is the Regional Coordinator for Virginia, 5 other states, and Washington DC for the National Day of Prayer. She is a mighty woman of God.

If you live in Culpeper, I invite and encourage you to join us for the weekly community prayer gathering every Wednesday at Noon at Reformation Lutheran Church (415 S Main Suite # 101, Culpeper, VA 22701). The time is now to humble ourselves as the Body of Christ in communities and repent of the widespread evil in our communties.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I believe in my heart of hearts that You are stirring the greatest prayer revival and the history of America and the world. I ask Your Holy Spirit to send personal invitations to the hearts of Your children to get involved. Soften our hard hearts. O LORD have mercy. Forgive us Father for our many transgressions. Amen.

Blessings to get engaged in community prayer NOW!
