- Lyrics by Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903)
“Knock knock. Who’s there? Oh my goodness, it’s you again – Christmas!” Friends, to all of you who labour by day and by night in the house of the One True Living God, and to your families and all those who are dear in your hearts, I declare supernatural blessings during this Christmas season and in 2010!
We all acknowledge that Jesus is the reason for the season. May He lead, steer and watch over all of your paths that He has established in the heavens for the coming year. I am so excited about what Almighty God has in store for each of us in our individual corners of this our great Canadian vineyard. Blessings and favour be unto all the congregation that makes up Canada In Prayer, and may we continue to press in 2010 to see the flames of revival spread from sea to sea to sea, for the glory of Almighty God!
Warriors, please be encouraged as you go into your prayer closets for this last First Friday of 2009, that His will is being done here on earth as it is in heaven. Believe that, beginning in your heart and in your home today, the power of Almighty God is being manifested as it was so miraculously on that night in Bethlehem. With a flint-like determination, let nothing set itself up against His truth! Determine even now, like the Magi before they set out to see the King that was prophesied about so many centuries earlier, that when revival comes in all its power, you and yours will not miss its glorious beginning!
In closing, let me once again thank you all for your hard work and dedication in the trenches. It has been a privilege and an honor to labour with you. A special thank you to those who have sacrificially stood on the wall financially in these trying economic times. Your support means more than words can ever express. It is your prayers and giving that have sustained this work and, by God’s grace, your gifts of love will allow this ministry of prayer to continue to be a clear and legible sound on the trumpet for years to come. May God bless you and keep you, and may He make His face shine upon you during this season of “the Light”!
Celebrating in the Light,
