GAP Prayer Retreat

Dear all prayer warriors,
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him." I John 5:14-15We thank God for His goodness and faithfulness in answering many of our prayers and seeing us through throughout the past few years in GAP. I'm very encouraged by all of you, for taking the time to seek and listen to the Father.
To all who are from GAP, press on in the Lord and prevail in your prayers until we see spiritual breakthroughs in ym! Your labour is not in vain- whether we've only two or three youths praying or fifty youths praying, God is still faithful in listening and answering our prayers.
Prayer ministry is vital for it is the life wire that plugs into God's power house and command the spiritual forces to subject to God's will. There is Power when there is Prayer! Let us continue to pray that God will raise up more intercessors in ym for His work sake.
Sharing from GAP Retreat:
- Mark 9:36-37, 10:14-15 - How do we have faith like little children?
- Mark 10:17-31 - The rich man had followed all the commandments of the Lord, but one thing he lacked, he could not fully surrender everything he had to Christ. We could do everything right and yet failed to surrender our lives to Christ.
- YM not praying enough
- Need to pray for the parents
- Pray that the youths will surrender their lives to Christ.
- Pray for more intercessors. Pray for gifts of intercession; Matt 7:9-11 - ...how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
- Mark 9:22-23 - ...Everything is possible for him who believes. Do not doubt what God could do in YM. Don't doubt God, have faith! Believe that God will bring revival.
- Breaking mindsets! Lean not on our own understanding, but trust in the Lord!
- I asked God why we come to church? Why the camp & Sunday ym worship so different? God said, "You leave that to Me, you pray!" Isaiah 54:14
- Personal holiness - God honoured Daniel and his friends when they walked in the fear of God, not men.
- Pray that we will love one another. I John 4:7-21...Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
We hope to extend the retreat to two nights next year so that we could spend more time listening and praying to the Father. See you all on friday.
The Key to Revival is Prayer,
Sandy
