As I pray for Freedom life  Sunday School team, I talk to the Lord about not just presenting a lesson but for a timely word from the Lord within the lesson plain. We use a traditional format of going through the word of God in seven years for the adult program. Secondly, I pray for the Holy Spirit to convect me with His word, concept being I can only go to the depths of His presences that I have not already been so that others can be convected the same way.  In addition, I pray that we learn to hide Gods Word in our heart so that we do not sin against Him. So I pray this for the Sunday School staff as well. Protection and wisdom being aware of social issues that may affect the Church as a whole. For relationships do develop and the willingness to mentor new teachers, establishing the gift of helps as the basic level of ministry.

As I pray today, I pray for new bee's or first timers who come to my home Church, Freedom Life Church of God. I pay that they will look past the parking and building issues and experience the power of  God today. Letting the word of God speak to the need that they have. As well as the sign and wander's needed for the moment with the right gifts needed for the right service.

This starts by seeing myself as a first timer meeting the parking attendents, greeter's, Sunday School Staff and Church Staff from nursery to adults. That they will find there niche and fit in, if they are running from bad relationships that the Holy Spirit will bring about the convection needed  to bring healing and salvation, becoming a meaninfull member of my home Church. If its a bad relationship issue that the Holy Spirit will deal with them as needed as new relationships are found.

The New Testament and Repntance

Acts 3:11 Netbible While the man was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway called Solomon’s Portico. When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or piety? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate after he had decided to release him. But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you. You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ name, his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The faith that is through Jesus has given him this complete health in the presence of you all. And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, as your rulers did too.But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets – that his Christ would suffer – he has fulfilled in this way. Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and so that he may send the Messiah appointed for you – that is, Jesus. This one heaven must receive until the time all things are restored, which God declared from times long ago through his holy prophets.Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey him in everything he tells you.Every person who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed from the people.’ And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced these days. You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.’iniquities.”
