Well, Bryan and I are at it again. I can’t help but think into the future and got a brilliant idea from some friends down in South Florida who put up a website www.satanspeaks.com  They had good success and a lot of buzz generated around the series.

So, we are starting to put up a Blog www.satanlies.org and www.satanhatesjourney.com …

Why not go there and see what the Devil is saying about Journey!

Just finished my first draft of this coming weekends service. We will be concluding our Fully Devoted series and God has been really speaking to me about Matt 6:33 in relation to Dueteronomy ch. 6-15, and even throw in Luke 9:23-27  – Ah, you will have to do a little homework to figure these out.

But the essential question relating to being a fully devoted follower of Jesus is "Is the Kingdom of God your primary concern?" Something to really think about in regards to how that question affects the way that we live out our everyday, ordinary, lives.

So as I throw out our Fast Tuesday Prayer Requests top on the list of "Making Disciples" is

• Lord would you remind us to make the Kingdom of God our primary concern.
• Would the people of Journey Church be passionate about the things you are passionate about.
• Would you annoint the Tv Commercials, flyers, etc that are hitting this week and next and use them to draw peole into relationship with you.
• Would you put it on the heart of the people of Journey church to actively invite people to WWTS and might those people give their lives to the Lord.
• Would you put it on the hearts of the people of Journey Church to take their service to the next level. Lord would 100% of the people who regularly attend be actively involved in the ministry.
• Would you bless the launch of our Engage Spiritual Growth track and put it on people’s hearts to attend and get plugged in.
• Would you use us as a mighty army of humble servants who are ready and prepared to further your kingdom right here in Jacksonville, Fl.
• Lord we love you and our hearts desire is to tell the world about you and raise up others to do the same.

Father I pray for the people of Journey church. May you bless their ever turn. Would you give them favor with all those they come in contact with. Would they be wildly passionate about loving you and being in relationship with you. God you are amazing and we stand in awe of you!

This weeks posts have mostly been about praying for and inviting people to church. This post will be no different.

Today is Good Friday, the day that Jesus boldly went to the cross on our behalf to die a sinners death so that we who believe would once again have right standing with God. Each drop of blodd was for the forgiveness of our sins, His body broken that we might have healing and wholeness in our own bodies.

A single post couldn’t begin to relay the significance, but it is awesome to think that God was so Fully Devoted to saving us that He was willing to die this kind of death on our behalf. His church has been an unstoppable force of change for Good.

This weekend we will be celebrating not his death, but the fact that he rose from the dead 3 days later.

Please take this time to invite someone to join you in a church service somewhere this weekend. That they might hear the good news of what Jesus did and turn their lives over to him so that they too might rise out of darkness and into light.

Pray for the pastors and leaders of our area churches that God might use them mightily this weekend and that God’s anointing would be present in our churches to draw people unto salvation. Lord even now prepare the hearts of the people to hear your word!

Who are you rpaying for consistently? Believing that God would step into their lives and draw them into a relationship with Him?

Let us know, we would like to pray with you..

Why not take a chance and invite them to join you in church this weekend. We will be giving a plain, simple, hopefully God annointed. message of hope. No bells or whistles. Just taking God at His word when he says.

John 12:32 NIV  But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

(As a side note the new www.crosswalk.com bible is pretty cool )

This coming weekend is Easter Weekend and there is no doubt this is one of the best evangelistic opportunities of the year. As a church we just completed a 3 weeks series called "Just Walk Across The Room" which I hope inspired many to learn how to share their faith more effectively. But more than that my hope is that we as a church and as a people would put the things we learned into practice.

This week presents a great opportunity to do that by inviting people to this weekends services Sat 6pm @ Lake Gray and Sunday Morning Sunrise Service 7:10am in Fleming Island. Then keep the momentum going towards "Why Wait Until Sunday – April 12th"

Prayer Requests:

• Christians would be bold in inviting people to Easter Services
• That People’s hearts would be prepared for the invitations and that they would say yes.
• That we would have people saved in each of our weekend services and that they would go on to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
• Pray for the lost boys of the Sudan who were with us this past weekend and we pray for the people of the Sudan and the revival of the church there.
• Pray that we as believers would become intensly focused on helping the what the bible calls least of these in our back yards and around the world.
• Pray for Oakleaf Christian Fellowship – That God would do amazing things in their midst and that God would continue to raise up a NE FL prayer movement @ 6225 lake gray blvd.
• Pray for Don Campbell as he works on the WWTS commercial.
• Pray for those we met this past week at the Mall, that God would touch their hearts and draw them into church.
• Pray for Pastor Bryan as he is seeking God regarding the 1st message of WWTS.
