Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. AmenJesus Christ is the Son of God. Our redeemer. The Lord. Our Comforter.

Take a look in the 5th book of 1st Peter,
Here we find Peter giving advice two fold. In verse 8 of chapter five, Peter tells us to 1. be sober and 2. be vigilant.
And he goes on to tell us why.
How many of us know that the devil is a liar? Amen.
Most of us are aware of the devil as a liar.
But, Peter introduces another characteristic of the devil,
and it applies directly to you and me.
Peter says in verse 8 of chapter 5,
be sober, be vigilant, because YOUR,
(point to yourself and say "MY").
Because YOUR adversary the devil.
Doesn't that make it extremely personal for you and me?

Let's Embrace The Grace Of God Amazing Grace...

Prayer

Matt. 5:1,2 1 Now when He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain side and sat down. His disciples cam to Him.

2. And He began to teach them, saying: Matt 6:5 "But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.


Matt 6:6 When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matt 6:7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Matt. 6:8 Do not be like them (pagans), for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Matt. 6:9-14 9 This is how you should pray: "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,

10. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

11. Give us today our daily bread.

12. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.

Amen.

14. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, Your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.
