Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who
are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of god our Savior,
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-5
Dear
local and global friends of Come Rest,
- On Nov. 30th at 345 am
the Lord woke me up and spoke these words to my heart, “You be wholehearted and I will make
you pure-hearted.” He wants me,
and each of you, to come constantly before Him with everything that is on
our hearts—the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly. Give Him the
gift of your whole self in the present moment and the Holy Spirit will
renew you. One way to do this is to practice His priority of prayer for
others every day.
- On Nov. 23rd around 8
am I heard the Lord say, “Enter My
rest, get with Me in My intercession.”
- On Nov. 13th the
Holy Spirit took me up into a life-changing experience of prayer
intercession during the Paris attack by radical Islamic terrorists. He led
me to see many things while calling me to declare His scriptures by His
Spirit in His name. Jesus is our Great High Priest ever making
intercession for the world and wants to do it through you when you pray scripture out while resting under His Blood covering and
leaning upon His guiding power
through the Holy Spirit. Jesus is calling all true believers to come up higher
into constant victory in Him. Real victory over terror and the evil one
will not come from the White House, but from Heaven.
THERFORE, Kim and I
ask each one of you to join us in giving Jesus a Christmas present that will
“keep on giving”. Make whatever changes in your daily life so you can give Him
a minimum of 1 hour a day to rest and pray in Him for others as He leads. Let us know you are doing this 7 we will
pray for you specifically. Call us if you want specific counsel.
- Chapter 25 in our book Real
Fruit spells out in detail how to spend 1 hour alone with the Lord(20
minutes in silence, 20 minutes in scripture, 20 minutes in Spirit-led
prayer for others.
- Or you can simply set aside
one hour to follow the order of 1 Timothy 2:1…
Supplication—Fervent trusting requests for
God’s supply for people on your prayer list.
Prayers—Psalms and honest childlike conversations with the
Lord.
Intercessions—Let Holy Spirit bring His prayer list to you! Ask Him to bring people & scriptures to
mind for you to
pray; also
experiment with praying aloud in the Spirit as He brings groans, sighs, and
tongues too deep for words. When I don’t know what to pray for someone, I pray
in tongues with their face in my mind; and also ask Him to give them His life
& life abundant according to John 10:10!
- Giving thanks—Thank Him for their life,
His cross, His love, His will for their life.
You, your
family, your church, your city, your nation, your enemies ALL need YOU to come
up into deeper, more powerful prayer for them. Give Jesus, give all men, the
best Christmas present you will ever give. Start by giving Him ONE ADDITIONAL
HOUR A DAY RIGHT NOW! YOU CAN DO THIS!
The Lord will help you. Come Rest will assist you.
The Mighty
Christ is going forth.
We love
you all,
Dick and
Kim
