I will exalt and praise your name

#earlwoodanglican #brendanmclaughlin #Isaiah25 Isaiah 25 Favourably Disposed In the book of Exodus, we’re told that God made the Egyptians ‘favourably disposed’ towards the Israelites (Ex 3:21), so that when the Israelites asked their Egyptian neighbours for items of value, the Egyptians were more than happy to hand them over. Thus, Israel left Egypt with a cache of gold, silver, precious stones and expensive fabrics (Ex 12). Christians use the exact same principle when praying for a revival. We’re not interested in material possessions, of course. We’re asking that God soften the hearts of our friends and family so that they are ‘favourably disposed’ towards the gospel. We want our non-Christian neighbours and colleagues to be just as eager to listen to and accept the good news of Jesus’ death as the Egyptians were to part with their precious possessions. As mentioned on Vision Sunday, Earlwood Anglican has just about everything a healthy church needs. We are (i) devoted to the apostle’s teaching, (ii) enjoy breaking bread together, (iii) havoutward-focuseded fellowship, and (iv) are filled with joy (Acts 2:42- 47). The one thing we are lacking is a devotion to prayer. Such a change won’t come through prayer systems, but through us calling upon God to transform our hearts to enjoy prayer more than anything else. As we seek a new devotion to prayer, one of the greatest things we can pray for is a revival. We should want to see more people giving God the glory he deserves. So may we pray, both privately and in our monthly prayer meetings, for God to make the people of Earlwood favourably disposed to the gospel. Brendan McLaughlin
