Nov 15 - Can't Walk Away

"What could I do King Agrippa? I couldn’t walk away from a vision like that!” Acts 26:19

In this scripture Paul is telling his testimony to the King, in hope that the King will grant him freedom from jail. Paul is saying there is no way he can walk away from the change that Jesus has done in his life.

As we journey together in Operation Transformation, we can paraphrase the scripture. In place of King Agrippa we can put Gethsemane and say “What could we do, Gethsemane? We can’t walk away from a vision like this!” We, as one body in Christ have to serve (work), pray, encourage, love and sacrifice together no matter the cost or trials that come our way. We want to persuade others to see the gifts God has given us as a body. There are souls that are in need of salvation and a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that you will not walk away from the vision that God gave Pastor Riddick for Gethsemane.

Prayer Focus: Dear gracious and all wise God, we need Your strength and your power to do what you have entrusted in our care, not just the building that You are going to build through Your people God, but the city that You have given us. The task seems great, but we know all things are possible through you. God, we ask that you keep us on one accord through prayer. We realize that there will be sacrifices that we will have to make. Our prayer is that you will meet all of our needs according to your riches in glory. We pray for Pastor and First Lady Riddick. We pray that you will keep them strong and encouraged as they minister to your people. We pray for all the people that you will be bringing into your kingdom.
This in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
