16 Prayer Requests Paul requests prayer for: Pray for us: Paul, Silas & Timothy Message of the Lord be spread rapidly & honored Delivered from the wicked and evil people

17 Ephesians 2:1-3 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you used to live when you followed the ways of the world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around lie a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Haughty eyes 2. a lying tongue 3. hands that shed innocent blood 4. A heart that devises wicked schemes 5. Feet that are quick to rush into evil 6. A false witness who pours out lies 7. and a person who stirs up conflict in the community Proverbs 31:27 Chapter 31 of Proverbs addresses the wife of Noble Character She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat of the bread of idleness

28 Prayer was such an important part of Paul s ministries & life 2 Thessalonians 3:16-18

29 Paul s structure on prayer Reflecting on Thessalonians we capture this: He thanked God for each of his people - 1 Thess 1:2-3 & 2 Thess 1:3 He prayed for the righteousness and purity - 1 Thess 5:23-24 He constantly prayed 2 Thess 1:11-12 He requested urgency in ministry 2 Thess 3:1 He requested protection from evil 2 Thess 3:2 He prayed they would live in peace and unity - 2 Thess 3:16

30 Prayer was such an important part of Paul s ministries & life ~ Thessalonians 3:16-18 He prayed for Peace Mentioned the authenticity of his own handwriting Benediction On a side note: Paul didn t teach a false lawless doctrine because he preached Christ Alone
