PRAYER PAGE October 28, 2007 The purpose of the Church is to have God’s will done here on earth. See Matthew chapter 6:10. One way to have this purpose fulfilled is prayer by the church on a daily basis. The first thing in prayer is to acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ in your life. This means a willingness to obey His teachings in the Bible. Use the Word of God, (the Bible), when you pray. When you use the Bible in your prayer time, the Spirit of God gives wisdom and new insights as you pray. The following passage is a suggestion in using the your Bible while you pray. Colossians 1:9-14. Notice the various items of prayer: asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will, in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way. Strengthened with all power according to His glorious might, Give thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the Kingdom of God, and your redemption has included the forgiveness of sin. Praying in this manner produces some mighty prayers for the Living Church of Jesus Christ.
