A little help with your prayer times!
Today we are going to break into God's heart by reading the Warfare prayer by John Eldredge. So read it and read it again over BridgePointe. How you do that is in place of saying me or I put in them or BridgePointe family and think of us as you pray. God says that we have the power of life or death in our words. Lets bring some life and protection to our brothers and sisters today.

Living a focused life
Today we are going to look for 3 opportunities to show God's love and compassion to the world! Start in the morning and ask God for 3 people that he wants you to speak to and impact. Once he gives you those people ask him what he wants you to say. (whether it is pray for healing, encourage them, or speak a specific word God gave you for them) Then plan out how you are going to do it; calling them, meeting them for coffee, or just running into them at the grocery store! Lets use our words for life today rather than death.
Here is some added help for your prayer life!
PRAYER
Bless the Lord. Praise Him for His blessings in our lives:
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:11-13).
Pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin:
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight-
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge (Psalm 51:4).
Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.
Now pray this affirmation to the Lord:
Those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
As you make your requests known to the Lord, include:
May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21).

- Greater personal discipline
- Persecuted Christians worldwide
- Whatever else is on your heart
May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.

A reminder from a friend that loves us ;)
I needed this reminder today from a dear friend that loves us all!
Champion
"Some people have called me Champion. Why, then do I sometimes feel like a Chump? Could it be the culture around me that puts me down rather than calls me up? Perhaps it's the mocking voices of past failures. It's been said that we tend to believe the opinions of the most significant person in our life. That's why I have to make Jesus Christ my Hero and Mentor. He speaks to me about the culture, reminding me that I am in the world but not of it, and I am a citizen of heaven. Regarding my failures, He says 'Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.' To my feelings of inadequacy He declares, 'You can do all things through Me.' When I allow His voice to be the predominant one in my life, the Champion within bursts forth and propels me to victory. Regardless of how you're feeling this morning, I know, He knows, you ARE a Champion!"
