Prayer Points

This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 

Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you. 1 Samuel 10; 6, 7.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. Proverbs 3:27 

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Ecclesiastes  9:10

Rejoice and be glad, for God has His eye upon you for good, no good thing will He withhold from them that love Him! Let the Holy Spirit have His full sway with you, for He has been given to lead you into all truth! Whatsoever is given into your hand to do, do it, in the power of the Holy Spirit. What you have not done when the Lord calls you home will not be done! Jesus is coming soon! Perhaps today?

Local Prayer,

Pray for all those who take the time to prepare the word that God puts on there heart as they seek to pass on His word to the youngsters, and the young in faith.

Pray for the preachers and teachers, that God will be able to speak out through them, and that those who hear will be made ready to be obedient.

Pray that God would raise up more saints to be ready to do the work that God gives into their hand to do.

Pray that we all might be encouragers to bring more saints to pray, learn and witness together in these days as we see the coming of the Lord drawing ever nearer.

The Church World-wide.

• Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and that many more Israeli’s will see that Yeshua is indeed the promised Messiah, repent, believe and be saved in these days.

As the evil one is raising increasing opposition to all that would raise Jesus High, may we uphold all who would speak out the Truth that Salvation is by grace, through faith in Christ Jesus alone. Pray for all in your group as you encourage others in their most Holy Faith. Great News! Jesus is coming soon!

Even so Come! Lord Jesus!

With love in our Lord and Saviour,

Merton Gray.
