Getting Before God

Life Church Southampton have taken on Winchester Family Church's tradition of having a week of prayer at the beginning of each school term. I'm looking forward to seeing what God does with us over the next few days!

We're starting in about 40 minutes with a big kick-off praying for revival and simply pressing into God. We'll then have early morning prayer for and hour each weekday, with another large prayer meeting instead of Life Groups on Wednesday.

Arnold Bell says prayer is simply 'getting before God'. If we were going to prioritise a week out of the church calendar to particularly do one thing, surely it ought to be to get before God! Especially at the beginning of a new term, where we have a number of evangelistic meetings, several visiting speakers (including David Stroud on 23rd September and Guy Miller on 6th December) lined up.

So I'll watch and participate with baited breath waiting to see what God does in us, and how He speaks to us over the coming week...
