What's in your hand...or ears ???

Last December I received a gift from Ecuador. It was a pair of beautiful, colorful, wooden earrings. As I dressed for a luncheon, I realized they were a perfect match for the jacket that I would wear. As I looked at them in the mirror, I felt led to pray for this tiny nation of Ecuador. As a point of contact I touched the earrings and said "Father, give them ears to hear what You are saying". That has been my cry for that nation each time I wear the earrings.

Let the Spirit of God reveal to you fresh new ways to pray for the nations. Will you please take a moment to pray for the nation listed today?

Here is one way to be reminded to pray for the nations. On a recent shopping trip I bought...

Kiwi fruit from New Zealand
tomatoes from Canada
avocados from Mexico
bananas from Costa Rica and Honduras.

As I wash, peel, and eat these foods, I ask the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers. I thank Him that He is pouring out of His Spirit upon ALL flesh and that their sons and daughters will prophesy and have dreams and visions. He loves the whole world and desires that none would perish!

What's in your hand? He's listening...

Psalm 144:1 Blessed is the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

  1. Margie - I love the concept of this blog. I will be marking this as a blog I follow. I love to pray for the nations and this will help me in those endeavors. Sorry I have not checked out your blogs in a while. I was out of town for over two weeks and didn't have access to the internet. Now that summer is here and I have much more free time I hope to be more consistent in keeping in touch.

    I see you are up-dating your other blogs as well and experimenting with layouts and such. Keep moving forward.
    Your friend in Christ,
    Angel

  2. I love the idea of praying for the nations to know our loving God.

    And I love how you touched the earrings and prayed that that would hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
