Contending for an outpouring

[ryancorrigan]

Hello Beloved family and friends, 

We are doing very well as a family overall.  The Lord has been so faithful to us and we are healthy and always seem to have the provision we need in one way or another.  But in another sense we are not OK with how things are.  We are mourning over the condition of our own hearts and the heart of our nation.  We long for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and greater faith, hope and Love for Jesus!  We know there is so much more than what we have.  For instance, we can walk away from a prayer meeting that is anointed and powerful and feel "good"..... but is that the right response?  NO, unless we see breakthrough and change we cannot be content just having good prayer meetings.  We will not be content until Jesus has the pre-eminence in all things.  We groan for the restoration of all things that will come at the Day of the Lord, and things will not be OK until Jesus returns and rules and reigns from Jerusalem and everything that has breath worships Him.  May we groan for the age to come, may we long for Jesus to come, may we mourn over our lack.... all the while being so so thankful for what we do have knowing we deserve Hell and every breath that we have is a display of mercy from the Lord. Thank you Jesus we have far more than we deserve, Jesus,  we want the fullness of what you paid for on that cross!  

Here is our latest newsletter.  We invite you to partner with us so free us up from other duties (2 Chron 9:33) so that we can spend our strength in the place of prayer for God to pour out His spirit upon our land.  Right now it seems like the Lord is beckoning us away to the place of prayer to just cry out, but there are so many other "good" things we are doing, partly to help us financially (i.e. ushering, doing facilities work) that help provide for us but are not really what we are made to do.  If we could raise so more monthly support it would help free us up from having to do so much, so that we could simplify our work to prayer and discipleship.... right now I long to spend more time in prayer and more time discipiling young adults but because of our service" jobs take so much time....... ~30 hours a week (which provide a little income) we just dont have very much time to give ourselves to the teaching and discipleship dimensions of what we are called to do.  So pray for us to have the grace to be able to give ourselves to what we really feel called to do.  Blessings to you all.
