[__ Prayer __] Forum: Pray for us.

[Sparkey]

Here (below) is a copy of a thread that I've started in General Talk. It's about change. It's also about vision, for rightly does the Proverb say, "Without a vision, the people perish."

I find myself in the position of a town crier earnestly wanting to say, "Expand your walls, make ready the way. Look beyond the horizon and unbow yourselves, those who are burdened, for your Redeemer draws nigh."

I find myself in the position of supplicant, earnestly wanting to ask, "Lord. Cause us to turn our hearts, to carry the burdens shared by the members of Your body, willingly and lovingly. Send intercessors! I do call, hear my cry even here, in the wilderness."

Soon comes change. Have you seen the announcement that our Admin Mike made? Here's a link: CF.net is Moving. READ THIS!

Could it be that this change comes in part as answer to our prayers? Will we continue to pray and invite Jesus to come and dine with us even way out here in the nooks and crannies (amongst the pits, cliffs and crags) of our little corner of the wilderness, also known as the Internet and the World Wide Web?

Will He cause His Spirit and His Peace to inhabit us even here? Will rivers of living waters flow? Shall there be a valley in the wilderness, so that we become more than a oasis and where rivers of living water are seen to burst forth?

Might we establish ourselves by becoming more than a place for people to argue and discuss, by speaking the truth in kindness and become known for providing the milk of the Word? Will there be more than those just weaned added to our membership to provide for the growth anticipated?

Lord, cause us to have a vision for Your people, be our "Cause-it-to-happen" and strengthen us as you guide each and every one, for we know and trust You in this and in all things.

Forum, let us pray.

Show us here and show my impatient soul even now what it is that was said by your Spirit as our brother James wrote saying, "As we draw nigh unto God, God draws nigh unto us!" I am thirsty for You, for Your uprightness and Your glory to be seen, even as You have sworn to our Fathers from the beginning.

Cause us to draw close to You, draw us by your Spirit and be here with us even as we join ourselves unto the tasks given and found in our hands, let us add our voice to yours and rightly say, "We are about our Father's business," both in spirit and in truth.

We do so Love You and desire to become more and more like You. The words spoken for the last days are in me. You gave them to me. Your words, the very word that Your Father provided, the word, unchanged and given through John from Your Reveal:

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes ...

Open our ears that we may hear you and that our joy may be made full.

Amen!

Our CFnet fellowship continues in my prayers. I join with Sparrowhawke, the Admins & my fellow moderators in encouraging you to join in prayer for the upcoming move, for a smooth transition, and for further work in our Father's business.

Blessings!

Another thread has been created by me in the Gen Talk area. It's about the ANNOUNCEMENT:

Change is coming: THIS JUST IN...

Repeated here for the sake of redundancy:

There is another ANNOUNCEMENT posted that needs to be read by all:

Brief Site Shutdown Tomorrow

The nature of threads posted in the Announcements area include not being able to reply, so this thread in General Talk is the place for comments.

Here's one:

Mike said 2 hours... umm... I think a bit longer than that.

I'll try to start it early... I suspect it will be about 4-6 hours or so, but I have no real way of knowing or calculating. It could take 2 hours, it could take 10 hours.

So there you have it, reports straight from the battlefront to here. This thread is also to welcome comments and concerns along with the given assurance that your Staff stands at the ready.

Please do understand that although we recognize the need to distribute this information, ADMINS are very busy little bees at the moment. Kindly direct questions to your friendly local neighborhood Staff dude or dudette as the case may be.

Cordially,
Sparrow

This is a place for prayer. We are not asking for prayer offered for "those above us," but instead for prayer offered for all who have put their hand to the plow as servants to our Master. This prayer includes every member of this forum, from petitioners to supplicants to intercessory prayer warriors and prayer closet-ed dwellers too. God hears.

Forum: fill the heavens with the flow of your good hearts; Love your God who watches over each of us as we cast all of our concerns upon Him who is WORTHY.

Amen and amen.

Prayerful Members of CF.net FORUM:

Kindly continue to lift our needs to the King of Heaven. You've heard that our forum, our meeting place, is moving. It's a cyber move that won't involved U-Haul. We need Him to haul us as we strive to move closer and closer to the One who is Faithful.

More coming. Stay tuned.

Please read the Updated Announcement(s). The "Playground" is up and Moderators are hard at play (work?) trying to iron out the wrinkles and get stuff ready for everybody.

Here is the link to the General Announcement Area (as always to be found at the top parts of our forum)

There are two threads there that deal with this topic. Feel free to add them to your bookmarks and check back for news!
