Here comes the holiday season. Are you ready? Yeah, neither are we yet! But, as busy businesswomen trying to cover all our bases, we get organized by making lists... Lots of lists...

November has been a great month so far.  Tammy had the opportunity to speak at a wonderful women's event in Ohio earlier this month! Krista has also been traveling, and connecting with other Christian business owners on the web getting ready to offer Koinonia Business Women a new online service. More exciting info to come on that soon...

Thank you for reading today! Please feel free to forward this e-zine to anyone who'd be interested.  Make it a great day!
- Tammy & Krista

     Why Prayer is Crucial, by Krista Dunk

"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." - Luke 18:1

Have any of you read the book called 90-Minutes in Heaven? It's a very interesting read for sure. Here is a quick summary of the first part: A pastor was in a fatal car crash, died, spent 90 minutes in Heaven, then was miraculously brought back to life when a passing minister felt an overwhelming urge from God to pray for him (although he had already been dead for 90 minutes).  Here were my questions after reading that book - Why did God have that passing minister pray? Couldn't He have simply had the pastor get up and walk out of the car without the prayer? Are our prayers really that important?  Yes, apparently they are.

"Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." - John 16:24.  Here's what I've learned so far from the Word about prayer:

  • When we pray, we set our minds on Godly things and on His will.

  • When we pray, we authorize His hand to move.

  • When we pray, we use the authority God gave to people.

  • When we pray, God sends angels to help.

  • When we pray, we cast our cares on God and let Him take over.

  • When we pray, we plant seeds for our future or for the future of others.

  • When we pray, God answers according to His will.

  • When we pray, we can minister to the Lord.

Many of us have the idea that prayer is more of a feel-good factor, something we do for our own psyche or for our own "spiritualness". Now it's time to see how prayer equals action. We take action by praying, and God takes action by responding.  Let's discuss a few of our bullet points in more detail.  Click to continue reading complete article...

"Faith that is firm, is also patient"
-Isaiah 28:16

What have you been believing God for? Has your faith been patient, or fleeting? Faith pleases God, & prayers for increased faith align with His will.

Do you bake during the holiday season? Save yourself from last-minute stress, while at the same time satisfying your desire to nurture & be generous, by baking now & freezing your goodies!
