Just continue to pray this week for the children of the Township. That God touch their hearts as much as He longs to. That the churches He's called to teach these kids are prepared in their children's ministries and have all the resources they need. Pray for the families to draw closer to the Lord and for Love to prevail in the families and homes. That the school teachers have a refreshing time and return in January with fresh vision and love for the children.
Merry Christmas!

December 10, 2011 - Prayer
Prayer focus for 12/10/11 - 12/17/11
Schools: Covert Center
Churches: Harvest Baptist, Waterford Oaks, Los Pentecostales
As I was praying for the schools and in particular the children of Waterford Township, I began to sense a strong longing for the Lord to touch the hearts of the kids in the Township. It was very strong and I felt that the Lord wants to give dreams and visions and even special encounters with Him to the kids. But I also felt that the churches would need to be prepared to receive these kids. That they would need to have a strong children's ministry with enough workers and resources to handle extra kids coming. I felt that the Lord would love for the churches to reach out and provide transportation to church for those kids who don't have it and to be ready for them in teaching them the Word of God and helping to prepare them for what God has for them. That the ministry to children is not just babysitting or pacifying them, but actually ministering to them and teaching them. Pray for this to happen!
For the schools: for there to be peace in the classrooms and that the needs of the kids are met. That peace would displace confusion, distraction, frustration and anger. That the hungry, neglected and abused are taken care of.
Township School Board / State Educational Authority: United in Christian purpose
Once again, that our textbooks are historically and biblically correct.
That people are not afraid to stand up for the Christian faith in educational or governmental positions.
That all of America is one step closer to the Lord today in their hearts, minds and actions.
For the protection of our country spiritually, militarily, financially, geographically. That our government and our military have all the wisdom and resources needed to protect this country.
That the police had all they need to go after lawlessness.
That the churches have all they need to turn hearts to God.
That in Michigan, criticism and sarcasm is turned to praise, thanksgiving and an attitude of gratitude.
That only sweet waters and not bitter come out of our mouths. And that as the sweet waters of praise flow from our mouths it brings the sweet presence of God.
That the assault on our Great Lakes are stopped.
That where the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against him.
The attacks against the Christian faith are ineffective.
Oakland County Commissioners: As there is re-positioning going on, the Lord have His hand in who is to leave and who is to stay.
Waterford Township employees: That the employees in every position be called and anointed for their position and have all the wisdom and discernment needed to function in their position.

December 3, 2011 - Prayer
Let's not just pray from our mind to ease our conscience, convincing ourselves that we've done our duty because we've simply said a few words and put in our time, but instead let's pray from the heart, feeling God's heart, so we really mean it when we say, "Let Your kingdom come, let your will be done!"
We prayed this for the residents of Waterford and the businesses as well. That the residents' faith is alive and real. That the heart and soul of the businesses in the Township area are a blessing and in line with God's vision for this area. For the leaders and mentors of the Township to rise up and fulfill their purpose as well.
For all relationships--marriages, family, churches, teams, business partnerships etc. That how we all relate to one another is with love and unity.
That lawlessness, desperation, frustration, selfishness, greed and hopelessness be displaced by righteousness, peace, patience, kindness, giving, hope, love, holiness and unity.
Romans 14:17 says the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Specifically prayed for Grace Missionary Church and Baptist Fellowship and for the Southeast Quadrant of the Township. We prayed for Haviland Elementary and once again the School Board Members, Township Departments & Government and our Elected Officials. That the Township runs efficiently with the right number of positions and the right duties assigned to each position. And that each person in each position has God's calling and anointing to function.
I once had a dream of a huge tidal wave rising up out of Elizabeth Lake which was the Spirit of God flooding the whole area. It was beautiful and powerful. It was at the end of Marvel Place--a street off of Cass Elizabeth. Truly this will be a Marvelous Place!

November 22, 2011 - Prayer
Prayer today at the Town Hall/Veterans Memorial.
Pray that our leaders see the wisdom of God's ways. That His ways are not just a "religious" thing, but are actually very wise instruction. God knows what He's talking about! He says things for a reason. Laws & ordinances that come in line with His ways will make it so that we can live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence like it says in 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
Of course, for the leaders to fear the Lord as well, (which is the beginning of wisdom), and respect Him, and love Him and honor Him would be an added blessing.
Pray that the educational authorities in the State of Michigan are not intimidated by those who would try to change our Christian purpose by influencing our children with historically and biblically incorrect textbooks or other information. We need the educational authorities in the State, as well as the Township to remain historically and biblically correct. We need them to see the intentions of those who would try and take us off course by influencing our children with information that, even if it is "politically correct" is untruthful and flat out wrong. Again, the fear of the Lord and seeing the wisdom of His ways are important in making decisions regarding policies and regulations.
Pray for the Southeast Quadrant, specifically the Pontiac Hmong church and Central United Methodist church. And the residents and businesses in the area as well.

November 5, 2011 – Southeast Quadrant Prayer
Prayer for the Government at all levels was at the Veteran’s Memorial across from the Town Hall.
In the Mayflower Compact signed on November 11, 1620 by the Pilgrims, it says, "Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith…" These Pilgrims felt their mission in coming here was for God’s glory and the advancement of the Christian faith. This is a foundation we need to be sure we are building on. Our elected officials really need to be working to further God’s purpose for our land. As God is put back in His proper place and the idols we’ve put in "the high places" are removed, then our land will be able to fulfil it's purpose.
Prayer this week is also being offered for:
Churches- specifically Harvest Baptist. Each church has a place in the overall body of Christ, just like each Christian has a place. Each church has a different "personality" and that’s O.K. We should always acknowledge Him in all our ways, even before we take our first step for the day.
Schools- specifically Crary Campus. We all need to stand to protect our kids and not sell out to anyone who would try and bring them harm. Truth should be a priority, not self-promotion.
Businesses- specifically those around the Kmart area at Cass Lake Rd and M-59, Elizabeth Lake Rd. There are so many businesses that would be a blessing to this Township and so many that are here already that can grow into a greater blessing. God is more than able to provide resources and wisdom. God won’t bless dishonest business practices but if they are repented of, then He will forgive and the door is open to His blessings.
Residents- specifically off Cass Lake Rd. between Elizabeth Lake and Cass Elizabeth.
