Dony, this is the National Day of Prayer and in a few moments we’re going to have prayer. I’m going to ask you and Reba to join us. What’s in your heart now about prayer before you sing this next song?
What’s in me about prayer is that we as a people of God are learning more how to pray than ever before. We’re learning the things… we’re seeing satan as satan. We are not looking at our brothers and sisters, blaming them or ever even accusing them of being the problem when something arises in a relationship, but we’re saying, “Satan, we realize that you have come in here to destroy and to kill and to steal,” and we are looking at satan as who he is and we are putting him back where he belongs.
Our prayers are not praying condemnation on one another or guilt on one another or praying that God will give his wrath out on mankind. God gave his Son for the world and we’re learning that those who God has given us, we’re to minister to our brothers and sisters whether they be a part of the body or those that are outside the body of Christ. Richard Roberts and others minister to those and we are praying that the strongholds of satan are broken. Not strongholds of man,
but God’s love to infiltrate men.
Dony, we’re not called to criticize. We’re not called to castigate people. We’re not called to put people down. We’re not called to beat people, to condemn them, to fleece them. We’re called to pray for them and that’s what the National Day of Prayer is all about. In a few moments we’re going to be holding you up before the Lord and we’re going to be expecting miracles. And when we do, I want you to believe. If you have a special prayer request, go to your phone and call Richard Roberts and the Abundant Life Prayer Group right now. Let us know what your name and needs are and I’ll tell you, we’ll pray and we’ll expect God to bring a deliverance in your life. Right now Dony and Reba are going to sing again. Let’s give them another great welcome. God bless you as you sing.
Romans 9:25 talks about a people who were not a people. God is bringing his body together and he is making us one in love. “We Are The People Of God”, RICHARD BALLREICH: I started playing around with dope and with booze when I was in high school and went on in college. I’ll be 30 years old come June so it was the 60′s and everybody thought that was a pretty hip thing to do, to be smoking grass and drinking beers and that sort of thing. I was drinking at least a quart of Vodka a day and sometimes more.
And going in cycles of…. I would drink to the point where I could go to sleep and then I’d sleep until the liquor would wear off and then I would get up and drink again. So it usually went six hours of drinking, six hours of sleeping, around the clock 7 days a week.
