Dear God-tracker
GOD-TRACKING IS EXERCISING THE POWER OF THE MYSTERY WE CALL, PRAYER
Ephesians 6:18
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke tells the story of how, shortly after he moved to Africa the, so called, missionary boneyard almost claimed him. He'd begun to work among the villages of the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho. One very hot day, while travelling from village to village sharing the gospel, he ran out of water. Nearing dehydration, he came upon a well. He was fully aware of the golden rule to boil untreated water before drinking it, but being desperate he drank water straight from the well. That night he became gravely ill. After three days of semi-conscious delirium he had a vision of a heavy dark blanket being lowered over him. He knew he was dying. The devil had previously tried to thwart God's plan to use Reinhard, while escaping Germany after World War II as a child. But God's hand was on this young man.
"Then somehow I could see through the blanket," he recalls. "On the other side I saw the face of Jesus and a wonderful peace flooded my heart." In the next moment he heard the voice of Sister Kohler, a dear old prayer warrior from his old church back home in Germany, calling out to God to spare his life. At that moment the fever broke and he began to regain his strength.
When he'd recovered from his ordeal, Reinhard Bonnke wrote a letter to his father asking if he would enquire of Sister Kohler what had happened that day. It turned out that she was awakened in the early hours of the morning by the Holy Spirit's voice saying, "Pray for Reinhard. He is seriously ill and dying in Africa." Obediently she rose and prayed. She prayed though most of the day until she felt a release. It was at that very moment that Reinhard had seen the vision from the Lord and began to recover.
Reinhard Bonnke has gone on to become one of the most prolific evangelists of our time. Literally millions of people have come to salvation through his ministry. Reinhard Bonnke is well respected, worldwide, as a great man of God, operating in the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit. However, if it weren't for the obedient intercession of a faithful dear soul back home in a small town in northern Germany, whom no one had ever heard of, this man of faith would have died at an early age, out in the bush of Africa.
We have a deep responsibility to cover one another in prayer. Don't think, because you're not actively in the mission field, you have no mission. I believe we're all called to all the world. So your mission is to PRAY! Prayer is a mystery I'll never grasp how my humble words stir the heart of Almighty, but they do. Prayer is powerful. Intercessor prayer is standing before God on behalf of someone else. When the Holy Spirit lays a person's name on your heart, PRAY! As Charles Brent said, "Intercessory prayer might be defined as loving our neighbour on our knees." Make it your mission to pray for men and women on the front lines of Christian ministry. Make it your mission to pray for your parents, politicians and pastors. Make it your mission to pray for family, friends and neighbours. The prayer of a righteous person avails much. And in Christ you have been made righteous before God. So PRAY!
God-tracking is exercising the power of the mystery we call, prayer
Keep on praying

READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Ephesians 6:16-20
Matthew 28:18-20
James 5:13-18
Don't Give Up, Look Up!
Dear Father God, I pray in the name above all names, even Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Pray
"Dear Father God, I come before you now on behalf of my loved ones. Bless them, protect them, guide them and meet their needs. I pray for those who have yet to ask Jesus into their lives, that they will hear the gospel and come under your conviction to receive Jesus as Lord. I intercede for those who cannot, or choose not, to pray for themselves. I pray for my church leaders, that you will guard their hearts, minds and flesh. Keep them true to your calling that they will walk in integrity. I pray for the government of my land, O Lord. Lead their discussions and debates; guide their decisions and give them wisdom beyond their natural means. I pray for the Body of Christ, worldwide. Dear Lord move in might and power, your will to perform. Raise up a standard of love, grace, humility and power within the Church. May we be one in Spirit and in Word. Dear Father God, I pray in the name above all names, even Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen."
