EVERY FRIDAY IS PRAYER DAY
We had a great initial day of prayer with over 250 people taking 15 minutes from their day to pray for God to work in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We are praying for our church, our community and our country. We are praying for those affected by the virus and those in the heath field who are serving so faithfully and sacrificially.
Our Pastor has called us to continue this effort and make every Friday a Day of Prayer. Those who have signed up have committed to continue. We invite you to join us. No need to sign up, just pray. We ask you to set aside 15 minutes during the day to stop and pray. A new prayer guide will be posted here each Thursday to help direct your prayer time.
Of course, every day is a day for us to pray. We are reminded to continually be in a spirit of prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14
”And if my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
FBC PRAYER LETTER for FEBRUARY 21, 2025
FBC Day of Prayer for Friday February 21, 2025
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you, for everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks; the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Today we are praying for the hundreds of students that will be on our campus this weekend. We are praying for Dr. Ryan Andrew Smith. He is the author of “Trust the Circle”. He will be the guest speaker. We are praying for the host homes and the small group leaders. We are asking for the Glory of the Lord to be revealed! We are pleading for the favor of God on this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday events!
Don’t forget to pray for Chris Beck and his Divine Healing. Next week, he will begin his third week of chemo and radiation treatments. We are praying for minimal side effects.
Next weekend we will host our Prayer Conference with Dr. Hayes Wicker. The theme for this conference is “Drawing Near the Throne.” Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16.
Beginning on Friday night, February 28, 2025, after 5:30 pm supper, we will have Session 1. Throne Life Let us draw near - let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. Hebrews 10:22 and Session 2. Essential Aspects of Prayer. On Saturday, March 1, 2025, we will have a lite breakfast at 8:30. At 9:00 am Session 3 begins. The title is Listening to the Lord; Being Led by the Lord - Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my adversaries; make your way straight before me. Psalm 5:8. After a break Session 4. -Pursuing a Lifestyle of Intercession starts! After lunch at 11:15 am the final Session 5 begins. Building a House of Prayer. He said, “It is written, my house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves!” Luke 19:46.
The Prayer Conference is free, and the meals are at no cost. Please register at fbct.org/prayerconference
If you would like to share a Prayer Request that we can join you in praying for, go to fbct.org/prayer. You will find a form at the bottom of the page that can be easily and quickly filled out and submitted with your praise or request. These requests will be sent to the prayer team of intercessors. As the Lord answers your request, share your praise in the same form. May we abide in the love of God, the grace of Jesus, and the fellowship of The Holy Spirit.
Yours in Christ,
Bill Graham
