Oso Creek PEACE Plan - Part II

P - Pray.

E - Every Person is a Divine Appointment.

How many people have you accidentally crossed paths with today? Did you know that every person you meet, you leave your fingerprint on in some way?

What if we started looking at every single person that we came in contact with as a Divine Appointment? I mean it really is true if you are a follower of Christ. The Divine lives within us through His Holy Spirit. And if we're there and they're there, it must be an appointment.

What if we lived out every divine appointment so that we could in some way help that person move nearer to God.

"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity." (Colossians 4:5)

Today. Today I dare you to ask God to show you all the divine appointments that He's set for you. It will change forever the way you look at others.

Oso Creek PEACE Plan

Jesus said that He came to bring God's peace. It's been a while since I've talked about the Oso Creek PEACE Plan and God has had heavy on my heart the simplicity of what He has called us to as followers of Jesus.

I had a one-hour conversation yesterday morning at the coffee house with a man named Richard who is desperately searching for answers in his life. So many around us are. And God has given us the privilege of sharing with folks how they can be filled with Peace . . . for eternity.

You may (or may not) remember that PEACE is an acronym for:

Pray
Every person is a Divine Appointment
Ask questions
Communicate the hope of Jesus
Expect changed lives

I want to begin in this blog by talking about Pray. Then I will follow it up in the coming days.

Pray. Do we really believe Jesus when He said that we have not because we ask not? I wonder.

It's much easier to try to accomplish things on our own, then to kneel before the Savior and ask Him. But remember this: Everything eternal that happens on earth begins in heaven.

I've encouraged Creekers to always be praying for their 'Top3' - three people around them who need to know the hope of Jesus.

And to pray the 3-Open Prayer from Colossians 4:3-4 :

1) Pray that God will open the door of opportunity (2 Peter 3:9)
2) Pray that God will open the door of their hearts as only HE can do (John 16:7-8)
3) Pray that God will open our mouths (Romans 10:17)


Pray. Pray right now. Pray desperately for God to use us to change our City.
