Feeling Blessed?

On this Beautiful Saturday morning I say with the Psalmist, "This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!"

And, because most of you receiving this can go outside and enjoy this beautiful day before Mother's day, please take time today and lift the following people in prayer:

1.) Jolynn Gregor a member of the Raise the Praise choir and a member of Esic Baptist church who has just found out she has a mass in her brain.

2.) Gerry Godin who is homebound and on oxygen, he just turned 83.

3.) Stan Rutkowski who is still at Edwardsville Care Center waiting for healing, he really wants to come home.

4.) Allen Cassens who is battling cancer and several other issues in Florida, who would also like to come home.

5.) Rick Johnson who drove all the way from Pankerville Louisiana to sing with the African Vision of Hope Raise the Praise Choir a month ago. He has a a serious surgery and needs healing.

6.) Faye Heuchert who has a foot needing healing.

And pray for mothers all over the world that they may all come to know Jesus and become a powerful force in His plan to bring justice and peace and love into this hurting world.

Prayer is powerful. But satan does not want us to pray. So, when you get this and decide to let someone else do the praying for these people, just know that that is exactly what satan hopes we all do. Less prayer, less power. More prayer, more power.  You choose.

James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God has a plan for our life and that plan includes us praying!

Mothers day service tomorrow 6:30PM.  Hope to see you there!  Love, pastor Kent
