THE POWER

Of Prayer

 

Sincere prayer draws you closer to God. Regardless of how painful your “low places” may be, God still hears your prayers. God’s grace is your strength and His love for you is unconditional. Wait on the Lord! He has an appointed time to answer your prayers.

Daily Suggested Scripture

“PRIORITIZING WORSHIP”

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” John 4:23

 

GIVING

Online

 

 If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving -- large or small, it will be used to measure what is given back to you. 
(Luke 6:38, NLT).


Thursday Nights Lesson
Thursday Night’s Scriptural Study #158
Scripture Reading: II Corinthians 6:14-18 {KJV}
Teaching verses: 17-18 {NKJV}
Text - II Corinthians 6:17-18 {NKJV}
Title - Called Out To Stand Out
 

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
 

In my conclusion, as believers, we are called out to stand out. You can stand out by:

1.   Prioritize the LORD in a world driven by fleshly desires

2.   Love people where they are without adopting their unholy ways

3.   Live daily by Scriptural standards 

4.   Reflect the heart of Jesus

5.   Live out the word of God visibly 

6.   Stay away from people and things that can cause you to compromise your Christian ethics and moral values, and

7.   Model the character, compassion, and conduct of Christ
