One word. Wow.

I am so encouraged to see all of you and so many of you here tonight for our prayer meeting.

I didn't really know when I sensed that the Lord would have us to have this prayer meeting how many

people would come and I made the mistake of not having Gail print up probably

enough of the prayer lists so what I'm going to have you do before we get

started is come up at this time if you you're together, maybe you can share.

But we have like 25 copies of the prayer list that we have.

And so don't be bashful. Come on up.

It's four pages and two sheets.

So stapled together. So please grab one of them.

This is probably as good of a time as any for the benefit of our online church.

We appreciate your patience with us.

We're going to upload the first part of this, but we don't have really the ability to record the entire prayer meeting.

So you'll forgive us for that, but please do join with us in prayer as the Lord leads,

and we would certainly appreciate that. Why don't we also at this time make

sure that our phones are turned off or silence that would save someone the

embarrassment of having their phone ring while we're praying. I wanted to share just a couple of things and then kind of give you an idea as to the

drill for our prayer meeting tonight, how it's going to go and just kind of some nuts and bolts

things to go over with you. First I want to share a quote that I happened upon.

I actually had this in my archive files for a long time and I just happened upon it again today and I wanted to share it with you.

It's from EM Bounds from his work possibilities of prayer. He says

this, very interesting. Defeat awaits a non-praying church. Success is sure to follow a church
