CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! The troops are coming in Saturday night, NINETY inmates are on the "move" to be baptized. God is rock'n it up in Shakopee.
There is a phrase that jumped out at me from the movie American Sniper; "There is a war going on... we are protecting more than just this dirt." When the American troops would be on the move, the trained snipers would be on the roof top watching and protecting them from an enemy they could not see. Many troops were saved because of these trained warriors interceding before them.
Don't fool yourself, this is a war and you are a crucial part of this team! Your prayers protect us from a prowling enemy we cannot see. Satan has tortured these women for way too long... now they are preparing to take a bold stance for Christ Saturday night.
- All 90 women would feel uniquely special during each of their baptisms.
- Only those who have truly received Jesus Christ as their Savior would be baptized.
- We would get everyone baptized before the "movement" is announced. God stretched timing.
- Those witnessing would be powerfully moved by the Holy Spirit in such a way they also cross over from death to everlasting life. Yahoo!
- Nothing would interrupt the baptisms. No disruptions or lockdowns by the prison officials.
- Satan does not want this to happen... prayers of protection from persecution over the celebration, the women, our families and our personal lives. Health protection over everyone. Health mercies over J.T. and myself from immersing 90 women in the same water.
- Pray in PRAISE! Let's praise ahead of time for God's favor in this grand celebration and that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is glorified!
You are equipped with the powerful defensive weapon of prayer. Like those snipers, let's get into position and begin defending this baptism event.
Acts 22:16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.
"It just doesn't get any better than this!"
