Theme: Prayers works for all

Scripture Verse: Ephesians 6:18 

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian Life it gives us direct access to God in our time of need the Bible shows three examples of persons who found themselves in difficult situations and had no alternative but to pray for deliverance. 

Jacob: Genesis 32:9-12

He prayed that he would be able to reconcile with his brother after he took his birthright and blessing. God sent his angel to reassure Jacob and reminded that he needed to be totally dependent on him. 

King Hezekiah: 2 Kings 18:1-8; 17-22 

When confronted by a Hugh Army and taunted by the King of Assyria’s messengers, he went to the house of God and laid the letter he received before God and pleaded with him to save Judah. The nation was saved when the Lord sent an angel to smite over 100,000 men. 

The Apostle Peter: Acts 12:1-6; 7-9; 20-25

When King Herod began to persecute the church and Peter was thrown into prison the church pray everyday for his freedom. It was answer when the Lord sent his angel to free Peter from his chains.  He also sent his angel to punish Herod for blasphemy. 


Prayer is a powerful weapon the Christian must use to see the power of God at work. It acknowledges submission to his perfect will.

Christmas ?

-
                                                                   Christmas?   Christmas, Easter the Sabbath day bring disputes over whether they are PAGAN or is it the right day. So earlier in the last few weeks I overheard a conversation between a sister in Christ when she tried to witness to a person. As she was witnessing he asked her "but what about the Sabbath when do you worship" and she admitted on Sunday. The person then said "what about Christmas do you celebrate" and she said "yes" and he immediately began to talk about the fact that sunday was not the sabbath and Christmas is pagan day and we do not know when Jesus was actually born. The message of the Gospel could have been sidetracked as she tried to defend celebrating Christmas and Sundays. We are going to speak about her response later.    2 Timothy 2:14 says "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! Matthew 14:22-32 22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves
