In Dialogue
Ian & Rachel Carroll

The vlog is a recording of some prophetic words and discerning. Some of the Building Contenders team led a conference at Family of Christ Church, Petoskey, Michigan. I really enjoyed the session on dream interpretation, along with the whole day that we were able to attend, start to finish. I couldn’t believe we were sitting there watching these guys scale the heights.

Prayer Resources

This portion of this article is for those who are in prayer mode leading up to Easter, and for those who would like to add a little form to their prayer mix.

I thoroughly enjoy spontaneous prayer, calling out on the Lord as an individual or in pastoral prayer groups. However, I’ve also learned to appreciate forms of prayer.

One of the catalysts for my appreciation of forms of prayer has been that over the years I’ve realized that the Psalms are quoted and read worldwide. They’re the primary prayer book of Judeo-Christian communities.

One form I’ve used for over a decade is a simple one

Call upon The Name, actually using a name for God
Expound on the meaning of The Name
Express gratitude and thankfulness before any request
Make a request, “so that we . . .” We know how to make requests, but do we know why we are making requests? The request is best couched in terms like “so that we . . .” to give our request meaning and purpose.
Close the prayer in the authority of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, or something like invoking the Trinity.

St. Patrick’s Breastplate is great to pray year round, because it’s evergreen.
