Answered Prayers

God answers prayer! At times not exactly as we had in mind but in due time and in His nature! As we continue Awakening 2009 we want to know your prayer requests, your heartaches and all that you would ask us to intercede for you. I urge you to pray and fast as well and seek the face of God. Make your petitions known to him through prayer, with thanksgiving. He promises peace and the guarding of your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Here is how is answered some prayer this week already:

• Salvation to come to our house - last Sunday (first day of our prayer & fast) we had 8 people give their life to Christ! May we be on our knees daily for those who have not yet come to Jesus.
  
• We prayed with a team on Tuesday night that a local convenience store owner would have a change of heart and remove drug paraphernalia from his merchandise counter. On Wed he made an unexpected stop at his store and M.A.S.H. and a concerned local activist met with him. He has agreed to remove the merchandise within 4 days. More territory taken back!
  
• Caryl & I had nearly 3 days of intense care for her parents on Mon-Wed of this week. They came down with the flu and due to Alzheimer's and lack of mobility we had to clean up lots of bodily fluids (and other things that I'd rather not put in writing). We have been fasting and praying that we would not get this flu so we could continue to care for them and for our flock at Oasis. Now 3 days later we appear to have been spared. Caryl had a mild touch of it and I only lacked energy for a day. Today we are energized and preparing to bring the Word tomorrow! Thank you God for your protection.
  

We look forward to the opportunity to pray with and for you. Please send me your prayer requests at pastorscott@oasislifechurch.org or post them here on my blog if you want them to be public.
Don't forget to send me updates on how God answers your prayer! He may have far more than you could have asked, believed or imagined in store for you!

With love- Pastor Scott
