hi everybody it's Chris beiberg the director of the national House of Prayer we have a beautiful day here in Ottawa it's supposed to be Hive 18. I know I was talking to my friend Roger Helen Dowden Airdrie and it's like minus 15 there and lots of snow on the ground so don't worry the rest of Canada we will catch up to you it will be cold here soon but as for now it's wonderful and warm I don't even have a jacket on how good is that so I was just want to encourage you there are some great things that are happening in the body of Christ especially coming up into the year 2023. we're already preparing for a bunch of things and I know that there are a lot of prayer Gatherings a lot of

national and Regional prayer gatherings in the works there are 11 that I think we are preparing for Across the Nation from Vancouver to Kelowna to Calgary to Regina and Winnipeg Toronto to Ottawa Montreal Halifax and I think maybe something in Charlottetown so we're all working on those things so is this really encouraging because the prayer movement in Canada is really alive and well and uh and you know I go into different regions and we find so many different places and so many different uh streams praying that I didn't even I was just caught off guard it's amazing what's going on so I want to encourage you to in John 15 it tells us to love one another that our

joy would be full Jesus says father make us one as you and I are one make them that's us make them one as you and I are one and it's important that we just don't do ministry because it's all task oriented I love tasks I love doing Ministry I love working with other people but the all uh the the the the kicker here is that we do things out of love for one another not just the fact that yes Lord of the Harvest is sending out laborers yes I want to be one of those yes I want to do that but there needs to be an affection in each other's hearts for each other I love what's happening here in Ottawa for example there's a Ministry called one-way Ministry that has been here for at 40

years almost and it has been cultivating relationships and pastors and leaders have been building together for decades out of an affinity for one another a love for one another and it is contagious my prayer is that this would would draw would flow all over Canada that we would no longer stay in our silos pastors but that we would work together and grow together but most importantly that we would love together and build the kingdom of God together so let's pray father your word says make them one as you and I are one Jesus you spoke that and father that's my prayer over the church over the leaders over the prayer groups in Canada Lord that we would be one Lord that there would be a love for

one another your word Lord says that it is a command it is a command in John 15 so that our joy would be full yes Lord fill up or Joyce Philip or Joy with love for one another in Jesus name amen thank you everybody I'm Chris beiberg the director of the national House of Prayer and we'll see you next time they're forecasting snow next time so maybe I'll have a codon see you later bye for now
