First 3D Renderings of Our New Building

March 13, 2013 — 8 Comments

We purchased our new church building (all cash) several months ago.

Now we are in the process of designing the interior to make the new building the new home of Convergence House of Prayer.

Below are the first rough drafts of what the the Prayer Room and the lobby will look like.

The other pictures show our team and the guys at Fuse Architecture, also, the style palette of potential ingredients for the design.

We thank the Lord for his provision and the leadership teams we have to work with on the project.

How to Build a Daily Time with God and Enjoy It – Pt. 2

February 25, 2013 — 2 Comments

Building a daily time with God and enjoying it is vital to a wholehearted pursuit of God. This post is part two in a series on “How To Build a Daily Time with God and Enjoy It”. Here is part one.

Praying

The Four Focus Areas

Time with God works best when these four areas are in balance. Each area intentionally builds on another.

The four areas are:

  1. Thanksgiving: Giving thanks to the Lord based on what He has done.
  2. Adoration: Meditating on who God is.
  3. Repentance: Changing the way we think and aligning our hearts with His. Repenting to know His thoughts and obeying to do His will.
  4. Intercession: Discovering and praying what is on His heart for yourself and others.

So many of us pray to God not with God. I measured prayer by how much time I talked to God. God measures prayer by how much time I interact with Him.

Prayer is communion. Prayer is a conversation. Prayer is dialogue.

January 7, 2013 — 10 Comments

Prayer and Fasting at the beginning of a year is not some powerless resolution but can result in a personal reformation.

Prayer and Fasting

Prayer and fasting is not a gimmick to change God’s mind but a resolve to discover His heart as one contends for personal and corporate breakthrough.

So many God opportunities and decisions have come as a result of extended times of prayer and fasting.

I remember being approached and asked to merge with another church while on a 21 day fast.  This unexpected blessing resulted in a substantial blessings for our church.

I cannot overemphasize the opportunity that awaits anyone who decides to pray and fast at the beginning of each year. I urge you to take the leap.
