Mardi Gras Outreach - Day 5 (Monday)

Dancing, Drums and a New Son
There was a big Christian concert/worship time in the middle of Jackson Square. There was a stomp team, worship band and a few hundred of God’s warriors. We gave God glory before all going back out to the streets and prayer room. It was a powerful time.
A few years ago at a hotel in Dallas, Clay had met a guy named Stephen. Two days ago they were reunited as Sean and Clay were witnessing to Stephen. God never let him go. Our new friend came to this Christian gathering, rededicated his life to Lord and is off to a fresh start as a new creation in God. He quit his job at a bar and is seeking a new way of life. Last night Clay, Kelly & Kenny did some "night watch" evangelizing and Stephen joined us just to get some experience. He stayed with us last night, as he doesn’t have a place to live. Please be praying.

Worship as a Weapon
Both for myself as a shield and the lost as a bubble of grace, worship has proved to be one of the most effective weapons I possess. I still love to stop and witness from time to time, but if that causes the worship to stop, I often see a breakdown in the effectiveness of the group, as well as a surge in demonic attack. Thank you Lord for inhabiting the praise of your people! (written by David Prothro)

Intercessory Encouragement
Pastor Greg Pembo, of the Veiux Carré Assembly of God church, where we are having a House of Prayer, gave a marvelous sermon on Sunday morning. He preached on Exodus 32. While Moses was on the mountain, the people corrupted themselves and God was going to destroy them, but because of the intercession of Moses, God relented. Keep your prayers of intercession coming!

Last 24 Hours
It’s Fat Tuesday. Stores are closed. The party is almost over and people are about to go back to their normal lives. However, what happens at Mardi Gras DOESN’T stay at Mardi Gras. What happens here dwells in people’s hearts and unexpectedly creeps back up later in life. God can make them new creatures today. There are still salvations to be had. Pray that God’s will would be done, that people would turn to His kind discipline, and that those who live hear would be empowered to continue the ministry. Most of all, pray as the Holy Spirit leads.
