GOOD MORNING FROM RAINY GEORGIA, MONDAY, 0CT. 4111
Below is the link to the Church Service I was honored to preach and sing yesterdat at Doctor Smith's Church-GOSPEL BIBLE FELLOWSHIP!!!
We had a wonderful time as I was BLESSED to meet and sing with a lovely young and VERY ANOINTED lady fresh into America from Portugal, Ms. Ruthie.
It is a rare thing when one can go onstage with a total stranger and connect so beautifully with such a talent and love for the Lord!!!!!
I was unable due to time restrictions to publish this message yesterday.... PLEASE FORGIVE MY TARDINESS-AGAIN!
James 5:16 (KJV)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Many sermons have been preached over the latter part of this Holy Script:
“THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH.”
Today I want to FOCUS on the “PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER” segment of the Apostle James' Words!!!
Over the past few days and months I have, in MY personal walk with Jesus, felt unparalleled spiritual and yes, even demonic attack.
Physical health and human frailty have left me weak, even paralyzed with fear and trepidation.
Many, THANK GOD, of you have called and written and most importantly have been PRAYING for me.
I have also received several very encouraging calls and letters “lauding” my faith and stand for Jesus Christ in the trials and tribulations I have endured.
My SINCERE reply to ANY praise and glory exalting me IN ANY WAY is TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!
I stand today ONLY because of Jesus and ONLY because He walks in front and behind me!!
Throughout the Holy Bible we CONTINUALLY observe that men and women ONLY survive through the strength and POWER of God:
Zechariah 4:6 (KJV)
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
I could spend many hours defending this observance but I want to focus on what really matters today!!!
James 5:16 (KJV)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
P-PRAY
U-UNTIL
S-SOMETHING
H-HAPPENS
PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 Samuel 12:15-25 (KJV)
15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!!!
1 Samuel 12:23 (KJV)
23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
Colossians 1:9 (KJV)
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Ephesians 1:16 (KJV)
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Acts 12:5 (KJV)
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Pray without ceasing.
Philemon 1:4 (KJV)
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
These Scriptures represent a minute portion of Holy Scripts instructing the NEED of “PRAYING ONE FOR ANOTHER.”
Instead of “getting to the end of our ropes” and in desperation declaring to a fellow soldier of the CROSS, “Well, I guess I'll just PRAY for you!”
“I'LL PRAY FOR YOU” should be ALWAYS our first line of attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND THIS MINISTRY!!
I value PRAYER for valuable than silver and gold!!
Acts 3:6 (KJV)
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
THANK YOU for your love and patience with me as I have struggled mightily these past few weeks and months-even to the point of worrying that I might be losing what little of my mind I have left!!! SMILE!!
God Bless you today and ALWAYS,
