Middle of the Night Drop-Ins

Worship Most of us find it difficult to enjoy having a close friend drop by in the middle of the night just to socialize.  There is, however, One person Who LOVES to have His family and friends drop-in anytime, even in the middle of the night!

Our Heavenly Father loves to be dropped-in upon during the daylight hours; in the post-sunset hours of the night; or during the darkest hours of the night that precede the dawning of the new day that He is in the process of creating.

Jesus showed to us through His frequent all-night prayer times [up on a mountain, or in a garden] that our Heavenly Father graciously welcomes at any hour anyone who desires to fellowship with Him through prayer and through basking in His presence.

So, what do you say?  Shall we schedule a time and a place where you and I can meet and then drop-in for a visit with our Heavenly Father?  Does 3:00am at the church altar sound good?  See you then and there!

Prayer Builds a Temple for God’s Use

Prayer is the atmosphere in which we [more readily] have our own will deconstructed down to its most basic building blocks, then reconstructed into a temple wherein God's Will may reside and from which His Will may operate and achieve its goal "on earth as it is in heaven."

(Last phrase is from the Lord’s Prayer, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  Luke 11:2 - NKJV).
