J17:21 Prayer Initiative

J17:21, Together As One, is an initiative based on John 17:21 that foresees the Texas Conference united and ignited by the Holy Spirit; praying together passionately, powerfully and perpetually for specific and strategic needs in the local churches, schools and throughout the Texas Conference. We believe that as we fulfill the prayer of Jesus in John 17:21 the latter rain will be experienced throughout the 10 areas of the Texas Conference, in our homes, schools and churches. In support of this initiative, the Prayer Ministries team provided a Texas Conference “Prayer Map” that enables individuals to pray for each church, school and entity in the Texas Conference. Interactive Prayer Map The initiative continues with daily, monthly, quarterly and annual resources encouraging us to pray, Together As One.

Prayer holds a sacred spot in the life of the believer and an important place in the experience and mission of the church. Without earnest consistent prayer, the believer has no spiritual power and cannot overcome. Without meaningful heartfelt prayer in the mission and experience of the church, its worship becomes empty and worthless. “Jesus Himself, while He dwelt among men, was often in prayer…. His humanity made prayer a necessity and a privilege. He found comfort and joy in communion with His Father. And if the Saviour of men, the Son of God, felt the need of prayer, how much more should feeble, sinful, mortals feel the necessity of fervent, constant prayer.” Steps to Christ

I am a single mother of a wonderful, loving, intelligent, active, creative, techy, social, out-going, athletic, creative, hard-working, God-fearing teenage son.

My teen believes in the one & only loving, omnipotent Heavenly Father. He has prayed, "Lord, help Thou my unbelief...", "Lord, help me overcome temptation...", Lord, help me to grow into a Godly, respectful, responsible, loving, strong, honorable, faithful, intelligent, virtuous man."

We need major prayer. There are MUCH more distractions in this world than there ever were before. Jesus is coming back soon!

We start and end the day with family worship_hymns, prayer & scripture reading. He leads out and picks the hymns & devotional he will read. We each pick the scripture we will recite or read.

I believe it's important for him to lead out in family worship (as he will one day lead his family to the Lord), and for him to chose what songs will minister to his heart/mind (to help keep him anchored).

We've been through numerous storms in our lives, and have tried to continue to praise our Heavenly Father through the storm. We are definitely dealing with great deal. Because of our life experiences, many Christians tear us down. My son had a rough start, but the Lord has changed his life. He keeps choosing Jesus.

There are those Christians who believe that our Heavenly Father is limited. A 13 or 14 year old who received ungodly instructions from his troubled dad can't change years later, and choose to follow his Heavenly Father instead. The Bible is full of characters who had a life changing experience and became mighty men (& wonderful women) of God_ Paul, and King David are great examples.

PLEASE, please pray for a increase in finances, safety, a steady job that fits our household, peace that passes all understanding, joy, support, love, wisdom, discernment, steadfastness to our Heavenly Father no matter what 'storms' come our way.

May we all be filled and baptized with the Holy Spirit every moment of the day. May we all be surrounded with God's presence, and His Holy, mighty Angels. May we all constantly seek God's face every moment of our lives.

Thank you so much.

May the One and only true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Our Heavenly Father bless you as you bless others.
