Praying, Fasting, Worshiping

Posted on January 17th, 2010 in Church Life, Faith by Fred McKinnon

Howdy Folks,

I’m headed out for a 3-day spiritual retreat.  I’m joining a group of “mighty men” for 3 days of prayer, fasting, and worship.  With exception of the last two years, I’ve been able to unplug and pull away in mid-January for the last 12 years.

This retreat is an incredible time.  Each person who attends will write their name on a big dry erase board and write down what they need to hear from God about.  Their visions, trials, struggles, dreams, and needs.  We intercede over that the entire time.  At some point, each person will sit down in “the prayer chair” where all of us will gather around for focused prayer and intercession.

Our fearless leader moved away and the retreat didn’t happen last year so I decided to try and pick up the baton and keep it going.  I’m proud to be joined by some of my worshiping friends here like Shannon Lewis and Russ Hutto.  I’m hopeful that my pastor and some of our pastoral staff will join us as well.

Would you pray for me?  Pray for:

* ability to hear God’s voice clearly.
* confidence to do what He instructs
* God’s anointing and discernment as I bring these men together
* the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow through me, so that I can be an encouragement to those who attend
* fresh vision and insight

Thanks a ton.  I’ll be back later this week.  Until then, have fun and be blessed!

For the Kingdom,
Fred
