By Tom Lofton | 12.11.2011

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”

TODAY’S PRAYER
“Thank you God for the gift of learning. We ask that You provide education for the poor to learn Your Holy Word and about Your amazing universe. Bless them with the primary skills to read, write, and do arithmatic. Grant them the privilege to be educated and improve their overall status in life. In Jesus’ name.”

“As chairman of Convoy of Hope’s Global Prayer Initiative, I want to personally invite you and your church, prayer group, and friends to intercede with us on behalf of those in needy Monday December 12″, said Dr. Thomas E. Trask.

12.12 is the Global Day of Prayer for the Poor and Suffering.  Together many from around the world will pray the twelve points of prayer composed by Tom Lofton, founder of 12.12.  This year’s event will be hosted again in cooperation with The International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri directed by the founder Mike Bickle.

You can join with those in Kansas City by live stream right here at prayerforhope.com at 12:oopm Central Standard Time.  The broadcast will come to you straight from the IHOP-KC Global Prayer Center.

There is a great expectation for God to move mightily on behalf of the poor and suffering as we agree in unity for His blessings to be poured out on those in need.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.”

TODAY’S PRAYER
“Heavenly Father, You see the millions of people living in poverty without anyone to minister to them as they battle illness and disease. O Lord provide needed healthcare that will bring physical healing and well-being to those who suffer without hope. In Jesus’ name.”

True Riches

By Tom Lofton | 11.28.2011

“Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”  ― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Heavenly Father,

As we remember the poor in prayer, please help us to be poor in spirit.  Your Word says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs in the kingdom of heaven”.  Grant us the grace to release our temporal riches to assist the poor and suffering.  Help us embrace the eternal riches of loving God and one another.

In Jesus’ precious name.  Amen
