09/15/2020 -The Case for a Prayer Request page- Fighting for the Lord.. fervent and unceasing prayer.
I submit that after the fall of Rome, the body of Christ survived, even flourished in spite of the hardships and chaos, in no small part through the prayers of the early monk communities. A strong case can be made that the Iranian church is the fastest growing church in the world right now. Their leaders are new converts themselves. Their lives are on the line. How is it happening? By God’s hand through fervent and unceasing prayer, that is unleashing the Holy Spirit sweep across all of Iran.
So, let’s resolve to “pray about prayer”. I hope to have a prayer request board up before the end of the day tomorrow. We are starting with a prayer board at work – the “ET” board. And this weekend , I am going to start another one up consisting of family and friends across the country. Anyone that sets up an account on this blog will be able to start a prayer board from scratch with a single post. Comments can be posted to update the prayer board. But you have to request an account and password from me and the logon in order to be able to create a post or comment to a post. You can view posts but if you are not logged on, you can’t see comment posts. With enough changes, a new version of the board can be uploaded.
So, posts in all categories, be it say prayer request boards or bible study commentaries on our readings appear sequentially. If say you only want a prayer board, you can filter on the “prayer request” category or search on a prayer request board name , I’m thinking now I would set up a subcategory for each “board” that could also be filtered on.
Say a small prayer, particular as we grow for the “admin” without development skills. lol I’m going to move over to a new post to create our initial prayer requests. Blessings. Soli Deo Gloria!
Your brother in Christ,
