How to pray for Missions: The power of Focus

The difference between the lightbulb that sheds diffused light so that you can see your surroundings, and a laser beam that will cut through metal is Focus.  There is certainly a use for both.  In fact the light bulb will be more necessary on a daily basis for most people.  But when you have to cut through resistant things, Focus becomes necessary. The same is true in prayer.  We are all called to pray.  In the Lord's Prayer Pattern that we covered early in this series, Jesus taught us a basic method of prayer that will work in our daily lives and the lives of our families.  But as we focus specifically on praying for missions, we become aware that there are places and people groups that are hidden from the gospel behind steel walls of demonic resistance.  There is a reason that 59 percent of all human beings TODAY live in Unreached People Groups!   That's right...59 percent, well over half of all living people  TODAY as I write this, live ...

How to Pray for Missions: Unreached People Groups and Unreached Places

WME is part of the 2414 Coalition, a network that is focused on seeing the Gospel reach all Unreached People Groups and Unreached Places with Disciple Making Movement and Church Planting Movement strategy by December 31, 2025.  One thing of which we are convinced is that it will take the miraculous power of God to see this take place.  But with the power of God and with the obedience of God's people, we believe this is a very realistic goal. But because it is God's work, our first priority is prayer.  So the question we ask in this blog is "How do we pray for Unreached People Groups and Unreached Places".  In the next blog, I will focus on how to select and focus on a particular group or region.  But for now, let's assume that you have a people group or region of the world on which you are focused.  Here is a way to pray for your Unreached People Group or Place. Look in your Bible at Luke 10.  This chapter is a key chapter for those who are using D...

How to Pray for the Missions Force

Exodus 12:22-23   New International Version (NIV) 22  Take a bunch of hyssop,  dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood  on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.   23  When the  Lord  goes through the land to strike  down the Egyptians, he will see the blood  on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over  that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer  to enter your houses and strike you down. In the passage of scripture just quoted, we see God's instructions to Moses at the time of the first Passover.  They were to slay a lamb for each family and put it on the doorposts of their house. The Angel of Judgement would Pass Over each house with the blood of the lamb on the door.  Thus there was salvation and protection by this blood.  There was also freedom by this blood.  After the judgement, Pha...
