Jesus is On the Mainline

I remember when the Deacons used to lead the morning worship at Burnside Community Baptist Church each Sunday, and they sang one song without fail every week.

The chorus said: "Jesus is on the mainline, tell Him what you want. You just call Him up and tell Him what you want."

Some verses said, "the line is never busy", or "if you want your burdens carried." But the course always repeated "you just call Him up and tell Him what you want."

Now, of course we know that it's not that simple. Jesus is not just some clerk at a warehouse waiting to fill fill our orders whenever we think we want something. There are issues of our heart that must align with the will of God, to include repenting and turning away from our sins. But the song does remind us what the Bible instructs us to do, and that is:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." [Philippians 4:6]

Our commitment is to take everything to the Lord in prayer. Perhaps you'd like to experience what the Deacons sang about and pick up the telephone to call on the Lord. No Problem!

We have established a conference call account so that we can do just that...pick up the phone and pray.

The number to call is (610) 214-0200 and the access code is 582833#. Just dial the number and wait for the instruction to enter the code.

To begin we have established two (2) prayer hours when we can meet and pray together by phone each day. The first is from 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. central time, and the second is from 9:00-10:00 p.m. central time.

Here's how you can participate in the prayer conference calls.

There will be a coordinator assigned to each designated hour to direct the flow of prayer. Whenever you arrive on the line other callers will hear a tone letting them know that someone else has arrived. When you come on you may hear someone praying. Simply pray along with them until they have finished. We are asking everyone to keep their prayers short and focused so that we will be able to accommodate others and receive prayer request.

There is no requirement to pray out loud, but you are free to do so. Perhaps you would feel led to pray for a specific request, or bring a request to the line. It's completely up to you.

The coordinators will have certain prayer items we want to keep before the Lord as we seek revival and spiritual awakening for Dolton; but there will always be time to pray for specific issues concerning you.

Our website (www.belovednow.org) will have a page specifically dedicated to The Beloved Prayer Community, and for receiving prayer request.

The purpose of this line is to give us additional opportunities to bombard Heaven together in prayer as we seek to break through the spiritual wickedness of our land and see transformation come to Dolton. Let's give Heaven a call...together.
