Filling the Void
This is a brief report that did not make the conventional media news...
(State Capitol, Phoenix, AZ) There are many empty places waiting to be filled. Some will remain empty. Others will be filled by either good or bad things, or some mixture of the two. At a recent gathering at the Arizona State Capitol I saw some usually empty rooms filled by good, heartfelt, fervent worship and prayers to God. From 11:00am - 1:00pm on Tuesday, August 28, we participated in what I believe is an historic event. Ninety-five pastors and ministry leaders from all over Arizona (including Flagstaff, Kingman, Safford, Sierra Vista, Tucson and from throughout the Valley) assembled together to acknowledge God and intercede for our state on the 3rd floor of our original State Capitol where our first Arizona government legislators convened more than 90 years ago. I do not believe that there has ever been a gathering in Arizona history of so many Christian leaders for resounding worship and prayer in the very chambers where our state was born. It is also notable that several pastors read and prayed excerpts of the original chaplain's recorded prayers of the Arizona Constitutional Convention of 1910. We connected with the historical foundations of our state, and I believe, made history in the process. God hears our prayers. God answers the prayers He Himself inspires. His Word will not return void. The void is being filled with the promise of God.
