Hello or rather Good Evening fellow Prayer Warriors! For some time now...as I look back, it fits very well to date as I've been praying!As for me...I could've been be doing this kind of thing/job/lifestyle...perhaps other of us can say that as well...the fact is, God looks at sin as sin...all the same and once we ask for His forgiveness, His grace and mercy extends as far as the East is to the West...He Has NO MEMORY OF OUR SINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MUCH MORE OF AN AWESOME AND VICTORIOUS GOD DO WE SERVE!?!?!!!!!!!I just should be flat on my face!!!I find myself searching for "self satisfaction"...searching...these gals are there...NEEDING a search team...(thank you MMT!!)...there are days I am "satisfied" and days I am not. I have been slowly learning how to be "content"...I am learning that from a woman I work with who has CP (Cerebral Palsy)...she has so little and gives so much...JUST LIKE JESUS!!!!! Contentment...will be a life long learning process for me...yet, with the Lord in my life...and praying He always keeps my heart convicted...I will forever NEED JESUS IN MY LIFE!!!!Lord, please help these girls in their "self search". Let them get on their knees to true repentance...to keep their hearts convicted...so that they will also always NEED YOU!! Father...lead them to a life of Contentment...THANK YOU LORD...for the work that You have already begun and will continue to do!!!We glorify and worship You!!!!

Sixth day on the job!
Dec. 6, 2008: As I took my short pray walk on site at the NBL this morning, the activity of preparation for the star city parade seemed to be interfering with my pray focus. As I concluded, it seemed as though my time may not have been as productive as hoped. Stopping by my office to finish up some loose ends from Friday, I was greeted by this encouraging word from my computer…………………and I realized what my heart had felt the entire time of prayer and contemplation while walking, as well as during my devotion and prayer time this morning at home……God is always there, He is always open and available for any hungry heart that turns to Him…..what an incredible blessing and promise. It makes no difference the activity around us or lack there of, we can always come before Him and lift those who do not know Him up in prayer or talk to Him about our concerns.
Reminded of the devotion shared a few days ago about the Brooklyn Tabernacle, I realized that we, too, are asked to be a part of the continual prayer journey, encouraging each other to remain steadfast in prayer for (the NBL) all the women and men held in bondage by sin and their walk in the darkness. ………..Onward prayer warriors………….

Interpretation and insight
HERE ARE THE PRAYER POINTS I’M GETTING AT THIS TIME: 1) Pray for the owner’s eyes to be opened to the chaos around him. 2) Pray for the still to dry up and a loss of profits. 3) Pray for continued favor for MMM. 4) Pray for God to seal those cracks so that as we pour love in it will begin to take hold. 5) Pray for a restoration of shattered lives. Shout RESTORE. 6) Pray that God will begin to peel away the layers of the onion in their lives. 7) Pray Isaiah 22:22 over NBL.
I want to share about the onion. Most people equate healing with an onion. An onion has different layers. The layers on top represent the things that are easy to get rid of like giving up smoking, but as the layers go deeper it is harder to get rid of the junk. They become like the core of the person. They are the lies that all the other things are built on.Let me give an example from the standpoint of a dancer. At the core of who she is, she may not believe she is worthy to be loved or that she was created for love. As a result, she has added layers to protect herself, to prove she is unlovable, or to isolate herself from others and reject them before they reject her. It will be easier to deal with those things in her life that to her may appear big and insurmountable (like smoking) than it would be for her to deal with hurt that as come as a result of perceiving herself unlovable. She may not even think that that is what drives her because that core of who she is was established early in life and has become a way of life or is a result of trauma.

Second day on the job - part 2!
Dec 2, 2008: As I was waking up this morning I was thinking about my day of prayer for the ministry and club. I was asking God to show me how to pray. I saw a picture immediately:
I saw a man’s feet/shoes standing on a cement floor. It was dark with just enough light to make it visible. The floor began to crack. Little cracks like you get in a tea cup. But there were many, many cracks developing. Like spider veins.
The cracks began to open up to big gaping crevices. People began to fall into the crevices. Some of the people were dancers. (I think I knew this was to do specifically with NBL.) Some of the dancers kept dancing even though there was great distress and chaos all around each one. Some people were hanging onto the edges of the deep crevices, desperately trying to get out to keep from falling. The one in particular was a man.
I don’t know if anyone escaped. The music, dancing, chaos continued. Then the cracks began to close, from the bottom up. The dancing still continued – seduction, laughter, leering and jeering – as though nothing was going on around them. The cracks sealed shut.
Back to the beginning. The man’s feet were turned away from the dancers when this began (the dancers to his right). The bar was on his left. I don’t know why, but this seems significant.

Second day on the job!
Dec. 2, 2008: For several days I keep getting a picture of a teardrop. It’s one solitary tear, but it’s crystallized. The colors are blue, white and silver. “Salt” is an important word. This has to do with the dancers, their tears (or lack of, like tears used to exist, but they’ve become salt, not liquid.)

First day on the praying job!
I have been in fervent prayer for the girls as well as the guys, each one individually, and was so blessed by Amanda’s email this morning too. God is blessings and I just wanted to affirm and encourage from God’s Word that says, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed!” II Cor. 9:9When we possess an attitude of grace, we give....and He gives even more!! Thank you, Jesus.
