Presidential Prayer Team; H.L.M. – Courage to Climb

ppt_seal01

Craig DeMartino was an avid rock climber. Yet after falling 100 feet during a climb, it was a miracle Craig survived. As he trusted doctors to fix his broken limbs and cure the intolerable pain, Craig soon learned his Creator had a greater purpose. God brought people into his life that helped him make good choices, and he experienced one miracle after another. Now, as a renowned climber and international speaker, Craig uses his story as a powerful platform to declare Jesus Christ.

Who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I Corinthians 1:8

“I never intended to suffer nerve damage or have saved an ankle that hurts more than the amputation of the other one,” Craig said. “But I wouldn’t trade any part of the experience for the world. I’ve been able to see that sometimes the greatest thing God gives us isn’t just healing, but the power to endure.”

When you say “yes” to God, He gives you incredible power to influence others beyond anything you can imagine! Allow the Lord to use your challenges to climb spiritual mountains. Then, as you courageously step out and share your testimony with others, pray also for bold believers to be placed in the lives of the nation’s leaders.

Presidential Prayer Team; C.P. – Conversation Starters

During the very first phone call in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell said, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” In reply, his assistant came from the next room and told Bell he heard and understood.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  I Corinthians 1:9

A conversation takes two. That’s obvious, but the same goes with your relationship with God. He calls people into fellowship of His Son and wants people from all over to call to Him (I Corinthians 1:2). When God speaks, He expects you to listen (Psalm 81:8), and when you speak, His “ears are open” to your prayers (I Peter 3:12). He also gave believers the Holy Spirit to aid communication. “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26) Plus, as you commune with God, you’ll keep your love for Him burning bright and hot.

Call on the Lord. He is faithful to hear and answer your prayers. Pray He’ll extend His mercy and grace to the United States. And take a few moments to listen and reply to His words. You’ll enjoy the conversation.
