I had the opportunity last night to record a demo cd of my keynote message. I hope and pray that God will be able to use my voice to impact those who listen to the cd. Let me know if you would like to receive a copy.

I was reading in the first chapter of the book of Acts today. In the 14th verse, it says "These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer...." It stopped me in my tracks as I read. It was referring to Jesus' disciples who in chapter 26 were then referred to as apostles. Disciples are followers or learners and apostles are messengers or missionaries. They were disciples while Jesus was on the earth, teaching them - He went back to heaven - they were devoting themselves to prayer - and then went out as apostles to share the good news. It is our job, now, to be apostles - can you say that you are meeting with those of like mind to BE CONTINUALLY DEVOTED TO PRAYER? I can't, I want to - but it is such a good reminder of how we should be prepared to shine Jesus' light into this dark world - through continual prayer.

I heard a friend speak of the power of God that she has experienced through the prayers of her and her prayer partner. I encourage you to find one prayer partner or more, and be continually devoted to prayer. It is our most powerful tool.

Have a great day
Christie
