Prayer & The Urgency of the Hour

Prayer is the most important thing we can do on the face of the planet, there is no higher calling than to pray

-It is how we tell God how much we love Him
-It is how we listen for God's voice and hear how He feels about us
-It is how we commune with God
-It is how we change the environment around us, with God's help
-It is how we learn to obey God's commands
-It is how hard hearts are changed for God
-It is how our own hearts are changed
-It is how we are forgiven of our pasts and sins
-It is how we ask God to move and work in our daily lives
-It is how we change cities, how we change nations, and how the world will be shaken for Him
-It is how we can make a difference
-It is how lives can be saved

---Our spiritual lives started with one little prayer and now all He asks of us is that we would pray until He returns. Will we be a generation that falls asleep like the disciples (his closest friends) until he returns or will we stay awake for Him praying, watching, waiting, eagerly anticipating His return
---Our time is now, there is an urgency in the air, Will you pray? Will you tarry? for Him? for His children?
---A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument and I have seen what prayer can do

Time to Update

So it has been a very long time since I updated all of those who had been following my blog while I was with YWAM in Japan but lots has happened since my last post.
---First, shortly after I got home, I asked Kelsey Masuda my long time friend and crush at IWU to be my girlfriend and begin a relationship with the intention and purpose of pursuing marriage. Her and I had been skyping quite often while I was in her hometown of Tokyo Japan. It's quite amazing how the Lord works, she and I both have the desire to live and serve the Lord in Japan and hopefully in the future the Lord will allow us to do so together.
--- Shortly after I got home, mom and dad suggested I get a job to help begin building savings for myself and my future so I am currently delivering pizzas for pizza hut near my hometown and am really enjoying it more than I thought I would. I enjoy driving for work and the other people I work with are a hoot to be around. The Lord is also slowly allowing me to build relationships with those I work with to hopefully open the door to share the good news with them.
---Lastly during my time home I have begun to slowly learn the Japanese language with the Rosetta Stone language program. I would not be able to study the language if not for my home church The Chapel of St. Joseph MI and their willingness to sow into a young missionary financially.
--- The last few months haven't been easy to say the least. But the Lord in His goodness and grace is helping me through everyday. I long to be in Japan and to serve alongside those who love the Lord and want to see Him made known throughout the world.
