The Sound of Movement: Prayer
"They left their 'gods' there. David gave a command and they were burned with fire. ... when you hear the sound of movement in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle, for God has gone before you to strike the army of pagans." - 1 Chronicles 14:12, 15 (IPV)
PRAISE:
Praise the Lord for several tentmaker meetings held during the Eid break where workers across the AP were encouraged, challenged and cared for by several servants of the Lord from outside the region.
PETITION:
Lift up the couple who were called into the police station recently. No formal charge has been given but they have been told they have to leave the country. Pray for God’s peace and clear leading.
Pray for a university student who had a conversation with her Christian teacher before leaving for a spiritual visit to Saudi Arabia. Pray for more opportunities for spiritual conversations.
Many Muslim Background Believers find Ramadan a very difficult time. Pray that they would be encouraged by God’s grace shown to them during the month that just passed. Pray that they would be driven to seek out other MBBs to strengthen the bonds of Christian fellowship and leave behind the shackles of loneliness and isolation.
Continue to pray for “Sincere”, the MBB woman in our main city. She and her husband have worked to stabilize their marriage. Pray that the visit of a family member would not disrupt the calm in their home. Pray for reconciliation between the visitor and “Sincere”.
Pray for the 200+ delegates attending the AP* Consultation this week. Pray that God’s purposes and divine appointments and networking would be accomplished. Many workers and organizations seeking to move the Gospel forward in the AP will be gathered together at this important consultation.
TESTIMONY:
We praise God for the growth in “Samantha's” life, for her hunger for the Word of God, for her persistence and perseverance in her faith. Last month we mentioned that she has been experiencing spiritual attack. This comes in the form of demonic voices and pictures telling her terrible things at times when she is trying to pray and worship. We have been praying with her about these things, as well as trying to deal with things from the past that may have left doors open to the enemy. For example, some Muslims pray at the tombs of saints and use charms and other kinds of "magic" when making requests, asking for protection, or trying to ward off curses. These are some things that Samantha has felt led to renounce and pray against as she seeks freedom from the enemy's attacks. After praying with some of the tentmaker women last week, “Samantha” experienced a significant reprieve from these attacks, but they have started again. Please pray for complete release for her from these experiences.
