Long Island

My weekly prayer team, the “Star Warriors”, includes a gal from Connecticut. She has a deep heart burden for the North Eastern U.S. As a result, the team has prayed for nearly ten years that the Star would penetrate that region. There have been inquiries from D.C. and Virginia, but nothing gelled before now. Tomorrow, I present in Smithtown, Long Island. After all these years, I cannot wait to see what the Lord will do.

Some have described this part of the country as spiritual rocky soil. Having presented so many places, I know how very different and hard regional soil can be. But this host church, Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle, is busting rock, people. Let’s lend our prayers.

If you have time, please pray with me.

“Father, we would all love to live in places where your Spirit freely flows and moves and seems even to sweeten the air. But many of us labor for your kingdom in places where few know you and even fewer love you. Lord, give us the determination to carry out ministry right where we are. Help us always to look up to you for strength, for guidance and for kingdom growth, and never to look to ourselves for any of these things. These do not come from us. They come from you. We humbly ask that you allow each of us the joy of seeing sweet fruit as we labor in your kingdom. We ask that you would fill this venue on Long Island with souls hungry to hear from you, hungry to fall in love with you. Please cause your son’s Star to astonish all at your glorious beauty and power and love. We ask these things in the name of King Jesus, amen.”
