"And I will come upon him while he weary and exhausted and will terrify him so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone."
Ahithophel, was a man once motivated by God, we now find him moving swiftly in the flesh to exact revenge and payback for David, now in retreat from the capital city. From God's will, to I will, he was blinded by his passion. This portion of scripture gives us all fair warning of the pitfalls of the flesh, prone to our own circumstances, we at times tempted to giving in to our own "I wills". Whatever seeks to take us away from our focus of the Lord needs to be recognized and dealt with accordingly.

Opportunities
"I'm Okay, I'm Good"--Answers we've often heard. At times we come to church burdened, and we go home taking the same burden, rather than asking for prayer. Don't take your burdens home with you today.
Prayer Points
Lahaina Rebuild - Prayer for our Sister Churches - We stand in the gap for our fellow Calvary Chapels, many going through things of transition, some even going through pilikia. We stand in a tenuous place, praying for the wellbeing of the church. Don't discount our effectiveness as we pray for God's best for the church family.
River of Life Mission - As the volume of meals and ministry opportunities have ramped up at the River of Life Mission, please keep all the staff and guests, as well as the neighboring community, in prayer.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem - As the Middle East heats up, pray for the nation of Israel along with all of those in this region who have come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
