PAC Prayer Meeting Friday Feb 5
PAC | 2010-02-02
PAC Prayer Meeting
Let us lift our arms together to uphold the school with prayer at this critical time. In order to encourage more parents and students to pray together, PAC is holding a prayer meeting this Friday February 5, 2010 from 3 to 5:30 pm at Portable 1. Each prayer session will be 30 minutes. Feel free to join us at the beginning of each session. Bring along your children.
In Richard Foster's book "Prayer", he described the importance of intercessory prayer:
"In the ongoing work of kingdom of God, nothing is more important than Intercessory Prayer. Intercessory prayer is selfless prayer, prayer that focuses on the needs and concerns of others.
Moses was one of the greatest intercessors, and one particular incident in his life provides a magnificent model for us in our continuing work of intercession. On the occasion the Amalekites had engaged the children of Israel in battle (Exodus 17:8-13). The military strategy of Moses was strange and powerful. He had Joshua lead the army into the valley to fight the battle. Moses himself went to the top of a hill overlooking the battleground with his two lieutenants, Aaron and Hur. While Joshua engaged in physical combat, Moses engaged in spiritual combat by raising hands of prayer over the conflict. Evidently Moses had the harder task, for he was the one who tired. Aaron and Hur had to step in and hold up Moses' arms until the sun set.
In the military annals Joshua was the commander who won the victory that day. He was the person up front and in the thick of the conflict. But you and I know the rest of the story. Back behind the scenes the battle of intercession was won by Moses and Aaron and Hur. Each role was essential for victory. Joshua was needed to lead the charge. Moses was needed to intercede on behalf of the children of Israel. Aaron and Hur were needed to assist Moses as he grew weary."
