Team Jesus, please pray for Sharon’s Mom, Betty. We would be so very thankful. Betty is in the hospital with pneumonia. We love Betty so much, we are so thankful we went to see her in California this past summer. We had a wonderful visit. Daisy loves her as we all do.
Other prayer needs……
Pastor Richard A Mansfield leads us in prayer for Bill and Monica
Please pray for Brother Stephen Alfaro’s wife who was having breathing problems yesterday. I just heard from Stephen, his wife is home and resting and tests are being done on her.
Please continue to pray for Pastor Don Kimbro, for healing of cancer.
Many others are in need of our love and prayers. We are in constant prayer for all. We do not know all of you, but we pray to our LORD as He knows all needs.
E.M. Bounds wrote….The real sermon is made in the closet. The man—–God’s man—-is made in the closet. His life and his most profound convictions are born in his secret communion with God. The burdened and tearful agony of his spirit, his weightiest and sweetest messages are received when alone with God. Prayer makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor.
The pulpit of this day is weak in praying. The pride of learning is in opposition to the dependent humility of prayer. In the pulpit, prayer is all too often only official—-a performance for the routine of service. In the modern pulpit, prayer is not the mighty force it was in Paul’s life or ministry. Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work, and is powerless to advance God’s cause in this world.
E.M. Bounds in his book, “Power Through Prayer”
I encourage you to read this book, I encourage you to take a shot of ‘old time religion’ this modern stuff we have has more than failed.
