Jeremiah 48-49; Psalm 67; 1 John 1

“Let the peoples praise you, O God; Let all the peoples praise you.  Then the earth shall yield her increase; God our own God shall bless us.  God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.”  Psalm 67:5-7 Recently I have been praying the scriptures more often.  This Psalm is one I have been praying and if you would like your prayers to be more powerful?  Pray the Scriptures.  Hebrews 4:12 says that God’s Word is alive and powerful, sharper than a two edged sword.  When we speak and pray the Scriptures, we are coming into agreement with God, and His power is released to answer our prayers.
Maybe you feel like God doesn’t hear your prayers?  Or maybe you don’t know what to pray for in certain situations.  Scripture tells us we can have confidence when we come to the Lord.  Not only does He hear our prayers, but He also promises to answer them when we pray in line with His will.  When we praise Him, God shall bless us.  It’s God desire for His people to bless Him and this should be the desire of God’s people.  Make it your desire today to praise Him and I would challenge you to pray the scriptures and be confident that the Lord shall bless you.

Praying with You,
Pastor Joe
