Pastors Monthly Prayer Meeting

A Monthly Gathering of Pastors Praying for the Church in Lubbock

Following our Pastors Prayer Summit in "October, it was clear that the one of the prayer issues that continued to surface, we believe prompted by the Lord, was the nature and condition of the Body of Christ in Lubbock.  Briefly, the focus was the fact that there is one church in Lubbock, or one Body made up of many members - our individual congregations.

Ephesians 4:15-16 urges us to pay attention to how the Body functions; we are to be "fitted together and held together by what every joint supplies.." within this chapter in the urgency of keeping the unity of the Spirit as well as admonition to not grieve the Holy Spirit.

We are setting aside the next 4 months to pray specifically that the Body of Christ and its individual members would trust the Holy Spirit as our Advocate, Comforter and Teacher.

We believe that praying to submit to the control and direction of the Holy Spirit is as basic as Jesus' instructions to his disciples upon His departure: "Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me." (Acts 1:4)  Rob McCorkle, in his book, Transforming a City; Perspectives on a Biblical Revival, states, "You will have little impact in your city unless you are sourced by the Holy Spirit." (p. 7) 

Being "sourced" by the Holy Spirit means turning to our Helper for divine passion, clear guidance, timely words to speak, divine unity, divine power, divine restraint.  We believe that even though the local churches in Lubbock might be segmented into camps according to doctrinal issues, worship practices, social issues, or political ideologies, if we fundamentally believe the Holy Spirit and God's Word are the Foundation of the Church and that Jesus is the Cornerstone, we have much more in common than we have differences.

Join us for these monthly prayer times on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:00am at the Betty Hancock Parlor on Lubbock Christian University's Campus, 1902 Dover, and join other pastors in praying that the unction of the Holy Spirit will be the heartbeat of the Body of Christ in Lubbock.  Specific dates are Feb. 11; Mar. 11; Apr. 8; and May 13.
