We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

To pray at all times is to live in continual God consciousness, where everything we see and experience becomes a kind of prayer, lived in deep awareness of and surrender to our heavenly Father. To obey this exhortation means that, when we are tempted, we hold the temptation before God and ask for His help. When we experience something good and beautiful, we immediately thank the Lord for it. When we see evil around us, we pray that God will make it right and be willing to be used of Him to that end. When we meet someone who does not know Christ, we pray for God to draw that person to Himself and to use us to be a faithful witness. When we encounter trouble, we turn to God as our Deliverer. In other words, our life becomes a continually ascending prayer, a perpetual communing with our heavenly Father. To pray at all times is to constantly set our minds “on things that are above, not on the things that are on earth” (Col. 3:2).
John MacArthur

One simple way to cultivate koinonia (fellowship) is to ask questions designed to turn a conversation in a more spiritual direction. Here's a list to work from: How is your (teaching, hospitality, outreach, deacon, or whatever) ministry going? What do you enjoy most about it? Where have you seen the Lord at work lately? What's the Lord been teaching you recently? Have you had any evangelistic opportunities lately? Have you had any obvious answers to prayer recently? Where in the Bible have you been reading lately? What impact has it had on you? How can I pray for you? What's the growth point in your life right now? What are you passionate about right now?

How to Prepare Cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter the sides and bottom of two 9 x
2-inch round cake pans.
2. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and
baking soda. In a mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the eggs,
orange zest, and vegetable oil together until combined. Slowly add
the flour mixture at low speed and mix until just combined. Remove
the bowl and fold in the carrots. Scrape the mixture evenly into
prepared pans and bake the cakes for 45 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the middle comes out clean. Completely cool cakes on wire
rack before removing from pans.
How to Prepare Filling:
1. In an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the cream
cheese, butter, and zest at low speed until creamy.
2. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar and continue beating until
smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips.
How to Prepare Frosting:
1. In an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter,
cocoa powder, and salt on low speed until combined.
2. Add the sugar, half and half, and vanilla and mix on low speed.
3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue beating on high
speed until light and fluffy.
4. If frosting seems too thin, add more of the confectioners' sugar
one tablespoon at a time.
