A Prayer

So it has been nearly a week since I packed up my life, left my friends, left my community, left the world I was living in and moved to Las Vegas. I have so many things to be thankful for though like amazing friends, Ivan, and a support group everywhere in the U.S. that is praying for me. God is going to use me in this city. "Greater things are still to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city..." I believe that God can use me and use my friend Ivan to start a revival in Las Vegas it seems like a long shot, but anything is possible with Jesus, there is nothing to big for the Lord. So I am going to continue being a prayer warrior for this city, and that a revival would be started here, and that God would use me to be a part of that! God's mercies are new ever morning, and his faithfullness will remain true every single day. He is always with me wherever I go, He hears me cry out to Him, He listens and answers prayers on his timing and its such a beautiful thing. Christ is first in my life, and it seems unfair to make anything else first, He went to the Cross for you and for me, and it seems completely unfair if we were to put anything before Him. I pray that God would be glorified in the highest always in my life. And that I can stand before Him humbled and in awe forever. And all to you God for all you are to me there is nothing like, there is nothing like YOUR LOVE!

"For this very reason I kneel before the Father from whom his whole family in heaven and earth derives it's name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being. So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you being rooted, and established in love, may have power together with all the saints, to grasp how wide, and long, and high, and deep is the Love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:14-21

What a powerful part of God's Word, of God's amazing love for us! Paul talked about the "Wisdom of God's Plan" this "Unchanging Plan" was born long ago even before the world was created. This plan was all about God establishing "his own family," which "gave him great pleasure" "It is a plan centered on Christ..... And this is his plan that at the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ- everything in heaven and on Earth" (Ephesians 1:9-10)

So God has a plan, an eternal plan, born before the world began, centered in Christ and his church, which is made up of redeemed sinners! This is why Paul marveled at "the Wisdom of Gods Plan." God has a plan and we're part of it!
