Yesterday I shared with the church our 12 Days of Christmas emphasis that we are planning for the Christmas season.  This begins at midnight on November 29th as we begin 600 hours of continuous prayer going through midnight on Christmas Eve.   We have had over 200 people already take hours on our prayer wall. This is a wonderful start, and this is an effort in which every person should be involved. Everyone can find an hour and everyone should be a part of this effort.

The Christmas season is a very emotional and a very traditional time. There is a great deal of talk about love, caring, the love of Jesus and the importance of the birth of Christ. As believers, we are to be intent on sharing the whole gospel. Christmas is not just a sentimental holiday, it is a time when we celebrate God sending His son who ultimately died on the cross for our sin. We plan to use these days and opportunities to share the gospel aggressively.  People are looking for answers. They are not going to find it in political change, in economic prosperity or cultural opinion. They will find it only in Jesus Christ. It is important that we become prayer warriors.

In Jeremiah 29:13, it says  “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  That is exactly what we need to do. We need to search for Him with all of our heart.  The opportunity to be a part of this prayer ministry is going to be a very special part of this Christmas season.
