Sunday Is Coming

Good morning,

I pray you are safe and warm. It is 36* as I write this, but is to warm to the 60's.

Last week at Men's Bible Study, we came together and anointed with oil and prayed for one of our men that was diagnosed with something the doctors could do nothing for. I read the text below and believe that God is going to do a powerful work.

James, the brother of Jesus, tells us, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16). When we face hard times, prayer can sustain us like nothing else—both the prayers of others and the continual prayers we offer for our own situation.

Perhaps one of the most effective ways to pray powerfully is to pray the words of Scripture. Just as Jesus responded to temptation with Scripture, so we can experience spiritual victory with the Word of God.

Pray God’s promises and ask for their fulfillment in your life. Pray that those close to you would follow God’s path for them. Pray for His Kingdom to come, His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. There can be no better words of comfort, strength, healing, love, and hope than the very words and thoughts of God as revealed in His Word.

Lord thank You for Your Word, which is powerful. I pray that my prayer life would become more powerful and effective. May my prayers move hearts and mountains. Amen.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
