The battle is not yours, it’s God’s. Listen to God. He’s got you covered. Jehosaphat prayed. God told him where his enemies were. Revealed his enemies.  When you serve the Lord, He gives you discernment.
Numbers 13:30  Let us go up! We are well able.
Phil 1:1-14 I want My people to pray. God is the God of now.Yesterday, tomorrow , now-God is the same.

An opportunity to reform and restructure for the better. Amen. TO become better or make something better by making correction or removing  faults.

Help us Lord to follow you and You alone.
The Power of Prayer:

2. Do not be discouraged.
3. You must see through the eyes of Faith-don’t worry about the vast army or what you see and hear.
4. the battle is not yours but the Lord’s..
5.  Take a step of faith.
6. Take up your position for what God has promised in his Word (He is for you not against you.)

8. Jehosaphat bowed down to the greatness of a God who CAN.

1.  God is patient.
2. God’s love is one promise we can count on.

4. God is merciful-His ear is always listening.
5. Look at  Moses as he pleads with God for others.  He reveals the characteristics of God.

Jesus said from everyone whohas been given much, much will be required.

Pastor Gloria
Sunday AM
 
Faith Journey Phil 4:6-7 Learn the true meaning of faith. God wants you to learn how faith works. He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Heart gets hardened against authority. Do not be anxious about anything… let your requests be know to God. Pray, Stand, Wait.  Don’t trust the arm of flesh. You have to put in ingredients : The Word, Ask, Believing. Whatever it takes to get faith.  Praise and worship.
Romans 10:17 Mechanism-natural, extablished process by which something comes about. Stand, hearing the Word, Faith is taught.So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. Stay in faith.Your trial is your testimony. You can’t make it without faith..
Matthew 13:58 (Read this whole chapter, good for you, …and He did not many works there, because of their unbelief.
Hebrews 11:1-Now Faith, Eph 3:16-17 Strengthen you with power., 2 Cor 5:7-We live by faith, not by sight. Heb 11:6-Without faith it is impossible to please God John 11:40- Did I not tell you that if you believe…, James 1:3- testing of your faith produces perservenence,  Matt 21:22-if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer. 
1. Hearing
2. Believing
3. Seeing-eyes of faith
4. Speaking Faithm(Watch your mouth)
May every true believer take a moment to acknowledge that the Bible stands as the greatest book ever written. With a firm Amen. No Doubt. Smith Wigglesworth.
