8 Trinity Sunday Psalm 8 Proverbs 8:1-4, Romans 5:1-5 John 16:12-15 May 26, 2013 Pray! Pray! Pray everybody should pray sometime; we should fall down on our knees and pray, please dear Father God have mercy on me a sinner. Prayer is the key to heaven and faith unlocks the door to heaven and Jesus is the answer. From Genesis to Revelation we are told to Pray. Jesus had to pray, the prophets had to pray. 6 And God said unto him in a dream, yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore, suffered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife: for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. Genesis 20: And the Lord said unto him. Arise and go into the street which is called straight and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth. Acts 19:11 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given into him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. Revelation 8:3 Jesus had to pray sometimes. We all have to pray sometimes. I pray, you pray, we all should pray and Jesus will answer. 20 Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yonder place: and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. St. Matthew 17:20-21 Dear St. Paulians and Friends, Do you believe the Bible is the written word of God? Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God and he can do anything but fail? Do you believe that we are Ambassadors for Christ? 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: We pray you in Christ s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Hallelujah! Jesus said it; we should believe it and that should settle all doubts in our hearts, mines, and souls. Amen Amen Amen Members from the Prayer Ministries will be available Sunday mornings after worship service in the Prayer Chapel for anyone who desires prayer for self or others.
