My major concerns are in deepening my interactive communication and love relationship with the Lord Jesus, and increasing my trust in Him for every step and every relationship in my life.

Also, growing in knowledge of Christ, being conformed to the likeness of the One I love, and letting Him live in me and through me.  [Stefan A. Sweden]

Simply to see people become free in the life of Jesus, able to see Him, hear Him and follow Him rather than think they have to get that from other people, and to connect with others who have a similar passion . . .  [Wayne J. USA]

The Lord keeps taking me to Ezekiel to show me that it is all about His glory that He wished for Himself and His people.   But alas, they had turned their backs on Him. He pulled back the curtain, as it were, and revealed to Ezekiel, just what was going on amongst the Lord’s people. They were rebellious, worshipping idols and doing many things that were not pleasing to the Lord, even in His house. God said that He would bring judgment upon them that they may know that He is the Lord.

This, I believe, is one aspect that the Lord has shown me to pray for. That His people will turn from serving their own agendas, seek the face of God for forgiveness, and serve Him for Himself alone. I pray for the students at the Seminary down the road from here that they my go out changed people. These are the words that the Lord has given me for His purposes.

JB: in Ireland: “Where is the fire, the passion, the burning love, the spiritual desperation . . .  resulting in sleepless nights of anguish in prayer . . . someone daring to ‘go it alone’ that looks like reckless obedience to the Holy Spirit?  Where is there a new deep, pure sense of spiritual urgency, and Spirit-inspired, and Spirit–filled enthusiasm?  Where is there healthy fear and reverential awe of God among believers?   Where is there undeniable, pure Spirit-filled activity, conviction and anointing in life, in word and in emotions?  Where is conviction of sin and deep repentance . . . wholehearted radical conviction of sin? “  [Nancy F. Zimbabwe]

I long to know Christ in greater fullness as well as see others come out of bondage into His freedom. I long to see the time when those that don’t know Him will no longer equate God with religion because they will see Him in those who love them with His love.   [David F. USA]
