The first ten minutes of this sermon is solid. We had a roundtable prayer at my church last night in our study group, and all of us came with intentional, scriptural, heart-felt prayer when it was our turn to pray on the given verse. There was no smoke blowing, no empty feelings, or empty thoughts. We all moved the prayer along in a very powerful way! I'm very touched to hear brother Piper talk on this subject. It's very edifying in my faith.
His whole defining of the word Meaning is a good way to think about how we pray. When you pray you should have a meaning you intend to set before God. Edit: or anybody else, for that matter. If you're praying for someone or with someone you should have an idea you're trying to express or get across. It's not a requirement, just a goal I think.
Thank you for letting me comment. Pastor John I’ve got something really important to say and I don’t know how to do it so I’m reaching out to you -is there a way I could write you and explain further I’m also going to reach out to our other brother who is a miracle in Christ as you are John MacArthur and may all the saints in heaven witness my humility and good will. I must speak to someone The Paraclete has touched with the light of heaven. Baruch Yehoshua Hamoshiac Maggid! Kaddosh Kaddosh Kaddosh Adonai TzaVaot !!!
Revelation 22:7-21( Jesus😊1st❤ is coming) Revelation 22:7-13, "7 Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophesy in this book." 8 I, John am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he( the angel said to me "do not do it" = do not worship angel but worship Jesus :) t) said to me, " Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you ( so angel are fellow servant of God with us in Christ) and with your( our) brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book( my favorite book is the Bible, a love book from God to us in Christ). Worship God! 10 Then he told me, " Do not seal up the words of the prophesy of this book, because the time is near. 11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who does right 😊 continue to do right; and let him 😊❤who 😊❤ is holy continually to be holy :). " ( Jesus😊1st❤ said the following in red words in Christ) "12" Behold , I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha 😊❤and the Omega😊❤, the First 😊1st❤and the Last😊❤, the Beginning😊❤ and the End😊❤."( Jesus said in Revelation 22:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible and above so far is Revelation 22:7-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. And parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ meant for Bible study Bible. John is not Jesus or God but He only write down what he heard from the fellow servant here and by the power of the Holy Spirit in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray for others' healing and John 14:6. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:19-20 😊❤ and pro- Jesus😊1st❤). Amen.
