INTERCESSION

We are told to pray for one another, but how often do we do this?

In our sanctuary today, we continued to intercede on behalf of the people who were affected by the recent hurricane in the Bahamas. 🇧🇸

Our church family offered prayers for families everywhere, including the Bahama islands.

Cover them/us Lord; comfort and make provisions for them/us. We intercede on their behalf. Open the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings right now.

We decree and declare poured out blessings far greater by comparison than any downpour of rain and greater than any flood of water.

We submit to you Lord God; and, according to your word, we give you all that is yours… In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

“Give me all that is mine. Store it so that there will be food in my house. Do this. And find out what I will do’, says the Lord Almighty. ‘You will receive so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it. It will be like rain that I pour out of the sky. It will be like rain that covers the ground with a lot of water.” Malachi 3:10

Intercession is so important in the family of God so remember to pray for one another.

Do NOT Draw Back

Don’t even think about it. Do not draw back.

Two MAJOR points here:

1. We are NOT as those who stealthily retreat from the faith, out of cowardice, and do so resulting in exclusion from the Kingdom of God.

2. BUT, We are of those who are fully persuaded and confident in Christ Jesus, that Father God preserves us by His Holy Spirit and causes us to persevere in the faith, despite the trials and temptations we experience everyday.

Let this marinate in your spirit and tell someone about it. Do not draw back.

EVE GOT MACKED

Don’t get macked like Eve!

So, what was it that really got Eve?

Firstly, she had second hand info. God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam must have told Eve because when the serpent approached her, it questioned her about what God said. Serpent: Did God really say… Eve: He said we shouldn’t even touch it…

Secondly, the serpent tempted her because it figured she was an easy target with second hand info. God did not tell Adam don’t even touch it; Eve added that and the serpent knew then that she could be tricked.

Thirdly, the serpent tempted her and Adam together with 1. Lust of the eye; 2. Lust of the flesh; and 3. Pride of life. They succumbed to that trick.

Fourthly, Adam did not stop Eve, neither did he deny her when she gave the fruit to him. He was right there with her, took it from her and tried it for himself despite getting the command directly from God to not eat the fruit from that specific tree.

They both disobeyed God and then when they got caught, blamed someone else. Adam: the woman you gave me… Eve: the serpent beguiled me…

We need to know for ourselves what God says. Macking Eve first made it easier to mack Adam.

Don’t get macked.

PETER GOT GANGSTA

Perspective: The “gangsters” came to get Jesus in the garden and Peter got gangster too. He whipped out his weapon and whet it on one of them.

Jesus made a powerful literal and figurative statement out of a gangster situation when he healed the wounded gangster. He wasn’t about to allow this to derail His mission.

“Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” John 18:11 KJV
