Let's Form A Conspiracy

Many years ago, when I was pastor of the Hillview C. P. Church in Louisville, KY, I printed a paragraph in the bulletin each Sunday called, "Let's Form A Conspiracy". Those bulletins are packed away somewhere and I can't remember the exact wording but it went something like this. "Let's form a conspiracy today. Let's all conspire together to pray for those who lead the worship. Pray for the Pastor that he may be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pray for the choir and music leaders that God may speak through their talents. Pray for those who worship with you in this place, that all may be filled with the wonder of God's love and grace. Especially pray for those present who may be troubled or who need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. As we conspire together today let us pray for God to be glorified in our worship and that as we leave this place we will all be able to say, it has been good to have been in the house of the Lord."

Today, as I am made aware of strife, judgemental accusations, legal complaints and charges made among us, I want to say again, Can we humble ourselves and form a conspiracy of prayer? Is not God greater than our might? Are not His judgements wiser than ours? I am of the opinion that Satan is still the great deceiver and he seeks to destroy our witness and accomplishments for the glory of God by tempting us to battle one another for "righteousness sake". Let our battle be a spiritual battle and our victory be God's victory.

Prayer, not fighting. Faith, not fear. Concern, not blame. Love, not judgement. Let's form a conspiracy to personally repent and spread repentance throughout the Church. Could we have a conspiracy of prayer for renewal and spiritual revival? I sure would like to be a part of such a conspiracy.
