More from John Franklin (slightly re-arranged by Tawny)

I have wanted a good definition of this for years, I think I finally have one.

Walking with God:
Paying the price in time, prayer, and sacrifice to understand God's perspective of our life and work. Once understanding it, diligently setting about our Father's business. As we pour out our lives in rolled-up sleeves, sweat (tears!) and service for His purposes, we will feel God's power course through us. When this pattern of seeing as God sees and working with Him become a day-in, day-out lifestyle, the Bible calls it "walking with God."

In the book of Acts the entire church demonstrated this kind of relationship with God and consequently the power of God flowed through the whole church.

Doesn't that sound amazing??!

1st Monday prayer is the 1st Monday of every month, 6:30 in the Worship Ctr. The first half hour is quiet and everyone prays individually. Then we have worship and then pray together however God leads the leader. :) Different people are taking turns leading. So the next one is in April. If you want to come to Kid's church tonight at 6:30, there is a small group of us going to be discussing Freedom in Christ. You are welcome to come, if you want to. :)
