October 2008 - Let's see what the LORD does

Here is the basis of what we will be doing in October. 40 people have all received a box of Edify Daily note cards. There are enough (few extras) for every weekday of October. Each day, simply pull a card out and ask God who this should be sent to. Maybe you already know. Then take some time and pray specifically for this person. While praying for them ask the LORD if there is anything specific He wants to show you. Take time to wait on the LORD to speak to you. It may be that the LORD gives you a certain scripture, maybe a vision or a prophetic word. It is possible that during this time that God will wake you with a dream. Be open to the Spirit. I have prayed sometimes for a person and just can’t do anything but weep. I don’t know why, but The LORD is breaking me for this person. Just ask the LORD if there is something particular He would have you to say in the note.

Sometimes it seems odd to write the thing that God has put on your heart. Remember, you really do not know what is going on in the deep parts of a persons soul in most cases, but HE does. He will use you to speak things that you may have no knowledge of. Just be obedient. Sometimes I have said “this may seem odd and I don’t really understand it but, while praying for you the LORD showed me a picture of… or brought my attention to this scripture” or what ever. The key is to respond to the LORD. In many cases it might just be a note letting the person know they were on your heart and that you are praying for them. Remember these are NOTES not letters. Don’t feel like you have to write a lot of stuff.

Do this daily (we are doing all the weekdays in October - 23 days). Not that you can’t do it on other days as well. However, PLEASE write ONE a day. The temptation will be to write 5 in one day and none the rest of the week. It changes things up. There is something powerful about getting into a habit of pouring into others on a daily basis. I know to write 5 in a day is awesome but this is what the LORD has put on my heart and I am following. There are 5 different card styles in your box. Just use what ever one you desire. Don’t make it a big deal though, just send the cards.

Here are a few tips:
Keep your cards close. If you do not have stamps go get them today. (Keep them with your cards) If you leave town, just take enough with you to still write them on the road. I will be in Texas from the 1st till the 5th. I will be sending my cards from there during that time. Try to do it the same time everyday. Morning always works best for me. Send them to anyone the LORD put on your heart regardless of where they live in this world. Hand write the address. It is much more personal. I do print return labels but handwrite the person I am mailing to.

OK – That is it. Each day or every other day I will be posting on this blog. I will be telling the story as to how this has come about and the vision God has given me concerning building up the body of Christ.

We will start ALL TOGETHER on the October 1st. 40 cards will go out on that day to Edify those God puts on our hearts. Who will you mail the first one to?

Here is what was said of Job in Job chapter 4:3-4
You have strengthened the weak hands. Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees:…

Proverbs 11:25 – The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.
