This letter is from Joy Green, Southeast Director, Aglow InternationalWhat an amazing time to be alive! If we refer to our manual (the Bible) we find that the Lord loved to show up when the people of God became desperate for His presence. As we observe the world around us crumbling, let us look to the Author and Finisher of our faith. There is only one solution to our problems personally, corporately and as a nation – the Lord Jesus Christ. YOU are the solution (the salt) in the earth! It is a time for boldness in our prayers, in our homes and in our gatherings. We want to provoke the world to jealousy. As your neighbor looks for answers, give him Jesus. Let’s look from a heavenly perspective. All the earth is groaning to see the sons of God arise! So arise daughters of Zion and thresh your enemy. SEE him under your feet and dance on his head. Victory is assured – press in for the prize. Cast down all discouragement, weariness and unbelief. Let the confessions of your mouth change the atmosphere around you – let us believe the word of God again.
I am thrilled to announce a new Florida State Prayer Coordinator. Her name is Denise Ford and she resides in St. Petersburg, Florida. Some of you may remember her on the forum at our regional gathering in Orlando. She has a heart for the younger women and shared some tips on effective evangelism to reach them.
Many of you are aware that our international president, Jane Hansen-Hoyt has been asked to open the conference for Promise Keepers July 31, 2009 in Boulder, Colorado. It will be a gathering of men and women with the theme, “Time to Honor”. Women, the fathers of our faith and the poor will be honored. Please ask the Lord if you are to be in attendance and cover this event in prayer. What a day to be alive in the kingdom! Go to www.promisekeepers.org to register and see how to pray.
The theme of our upcoming Aglow conference October 22-25, 2009 is “Lift Your Voice!” Let the voice of the Lord shake the earth. Gather your women, rent buses and vans, have garage sales – get to conference! It will be an amazing time together. As I participated in an outdoor event for the National Day of Prayer in downtown Tampa, I was humbled to lift up the name of Jesus in the public square. There was a sense of unity, humility and authority. I expect to see amazing results from that day. I am convinced that this is the church’s greatest hour.
I leave you with my summary of Ephesians 2 – We are dead together! Alive together! Raised up together! Sit in heavenly places together! Possessing the kingdom together!
The time is now – will you answer the call?
With love and passion,
Joy Green
