Kick Start!

Just the kick you need to get rid of the Monday morning blues and sail into your week with Jesus by your side and a smile on your face!

Dear Friends in Christ!

Reflect on this...
Most of us would be in more trouble than we are if all our prayers had been answered.

I travelled on my knees
Last night I took a journey, To a land across the seas;
I did not go by boat or plane, I travelled on my knees.

I saw so many people there, In deepest depths of sin,
But Jesus told me I should go, That there were souls to win.

But I said, "Jesus, I cannot go, And work with such as thee."
He answered quickly, "Yes, you can, By travelling on your knees."

He said, "You pray; I'll meet the need, You call & I will hear;
Be concerned about lost souls, Of those both far & near."

And so I tried it, knelt in prayer, Gave up some hours of ease;
I felt the Lord right by my side, While travelling on my knees.

As I prayed on & saw souls saved, And twisted bodies healed,
And saw God's workers' strength renewed, While labouring on the field.

I said, "Yes, Lord, I have a job, My desire Thy Will to please;
I can go & heed Thy call, By travelling on my knees."

The Power of Prayer!
Newman Hall stood early one morning on the summit of Snowdown, in Wales, with a hundred & twenty others who had been attracted by the prospect of an unusually grand sunrise. They were not disappointed. As they stood watching the sun tinge the mountain peaks with glory, & sparkle in the lakes, Dr. Hall was invited to preach. He was so overpowered with emotion that he could not preach, but felt moved to pour out his soul in prayer.
As he supplicated, the tears rolled down the faces of the people. A superhuman stillness possessed them. Quietly, with solemn awe, they descended the mountain & scattered. Afterwards visiting this region, Newman Hall was informed that 40 people were converted that morning & had joined the church in the neighbourhood. "But," said he, "I did not say a word to them; I only prayed." "Yes," they replied, "and more wonderful still, they did not know a word you said, for none of them could speak English, only Welsh."

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Philippians 4:6
