Prayers of the Righteous are Availing

God is on the move through His Church in Ohio, and He wants you to know about it and be encouraged by it. Directing the statewide Church Ambassador Network at Citizens for Community Values, I get the blessing of witnessing and sometimes participating in this move of the Church by five-fold ministry and faith leaders.

The scripture says in Isaiah 59:19, “when the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” The standard that God has lifted up in this season is praise and worship, prayer and fasting. State and citywide fellowships and assemblies are praising and worshipping, fasting and praying both online and in person. The Church of Jesus Christ in Ohio is intreating the forgiveness of God, inviting the presence of God and invoking the power of God at events throughout the heartland, where our state motto is “with God all things are possible.”

Below I share with you:

1. Updates on policy advances to praise God for

2. Prayer points to keep before the Lord

3. Highlights of events hosted by ministries and faith leaders, including an event this Friday, September 25

Points of Prayer

Join me in praying:

• That the Church of Jesus Christ in Ohio would hunger and thirst after serving our neighbors with the heart and hands of God to the glory of God.

• That God’s wisdom, providence and favor would overtake the President and U.S. Senate concerning the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice of the United States.

• That Government authorities would be compelled beyond their understanding and natural inclinations to seek justice, love mercy and walk uprightly before God.
