Subject 13 : The Gospel According to MATTHEW
[Chapter 6-2] The Lord’s Teaching on Prayer (2) (Matthew 6:5-15)
(Matthew 6:5-15)
“And
when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to
pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their
reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your
Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do
not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they
will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For
your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In
this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
For
if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
I
hope you all are people of prayer. I hope you become people of faith by
praying and experiencing the answers from God. I hope you become people
of strong faith and give many people help, just as Peter said, “Silver
and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6). I also hope that
you pray for what you need and receive it.
Humans
are always insufficient, and therefore we must constantly pray. This is
why Paul said, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything
give thanks.” You must learn the prayer that you pray through faith in
God. If you do not develop a habit of praying out loud when you pray
together for a prayer topic, you cannot pray boldly when you need to
pray for yourself later.
Prayer
is the breath of life and a blank check. This means whatever you ask
God, He will give it to you. Since God is the Father of the righteous,
when we pray, He listens and gives us the answer.
We Must Ask God for Help with the Faith in the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit
Matthew
7:7-12 tells us about prayers: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek,
and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone
who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will
be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for
bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him
a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good
things to those who ask Him. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to
you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
This
passage is saying that when we truly ask in faith, God the Father will
give it to us. The Lord taught us how to pray and that the Father knows
everything we need, but we must still pray to God, and only then God
listens to us and gives us an answer. Although we need to learn the
grace of God through His gospel, we must also learn the life of
fellowship with God. We need to learn through our faith that if we, the
righteous pray to the Father, He will answer our prayer.
When
God the Father is the Father of those who believe in the gospel of the
water and the Spirit, why would He not give good things to His children
who ask in need? We must believe that God is our Father and gives good
things whenever we pray. We must pray with the faith that believes in
it. Those who know how to pray to God fervently in faith can pray for
their brothers and sisters and for the salvation of other souls. What
makes a man a man of faith is trying to pray in the righteousness of
God. The faith of those who believe in the true salvation of the Savior
cannot but grow gradually while they are experiencing the power of
fervent prayers. Therefore, we must learn about prayers through faith.
Even
though we were delivered from our sins once and for all by the gospel
of the water and the Spirit, we must pray to God “incessantly” just as
we constantly breathe. If we pray to the Lord for help constantly, He
listens to us. We must live as we develop a relationship with God
through faith, communicate with Him, constantly ask Him for help, and
receive His help.
I
hope that you become people of prayer, and that I am also become a
person who prays through faith. I also hope that both you and I learn to
pray, so that we become those who pray with faith and experience the
answers. I hope that you and I ask God for many things, so that we can
be rich in faith, wealth, health and God’s righteousness and that we can
share these with others. I hope that God gives us these blessings and
makes us blessed as we become the people of true prayers.
We Must Ask for Faith That Exalts the Holy Name of God the Father
In
today’s scripture lesson, the Lord taught us what to pray for and how
to pray first. He says, “In this manner, therefore, pray. Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9). The Lord tells us to pray
first for this part: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” We
must pray first that the name of God the Father be hallowed.
In
order to do that, what kind of faith do we need to have? Surely, we
must have the faith that believes in the gospel of salvation that gives
us the remission of sin. In order to have that faith, we must understand
and believe in the gospel of the water and Spirit, which the Lord said
to Nicodemus (John 3:1-17).
Therefore,
if we are to hallow the name of God the Father who is in Heaven, we
must first be someone who has received the remission of sin before God.
This means we must be those who believe that God the Father and Jesus
Christ are God who made you and me, was baptized by John the Baptist to
save you and me from all sins, and became the Savior, who was crucified.
The faith that can call the Father of Jesus Christ our Father is the
faith that believes in the gospel of the water and Spirit. This is the
only way we can legitimately call God “Our Father in heaven,” and pray
as we call Him lawfully. And only by this faith, we receive the
qualification that enables us to pray to God since God is the Savior and
Father to you and me. Since those who receive remission of sins have
this faith, they can pray “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”
Therefore, the Lord taught us to pray first what is most suitable to
such faith.
“Hallowed
be Your name” means we must not blemish His name. If so, what is not
blemishing the name of the Father? Here, “Hallowed be Your name” means
what kind of faith we should have in order to glorify God and live a
life that does not blemish God’s name. This means that in order to do
that, we must have the faith in the salvation from all sins that God
gave us: “The Lord has saved us from all sins of the world by giving us
the righteousness of salvation and making us believe in the
righteousness of God. He has made us sinless with the gospel of the
water and the Spirit. Therefore, we are people of God.” We must go in
front of God the Father with this faith whenever we pray.
We
must all have the faith that believes in the gospel of the water and
Spirit. We must firmly keep our strong faith in the gospel of the water
and Spirit that the Lord spoke of. Therefore, the Lord says to pray to
have the holy faith that enables us to receive the remission of sin.
We
Must Believe That Everyone in the World Will Accept the Gospel of the
Water and the Spirit So That the Kingdom of God Will Be Established
Quickly on Earth
Secondly,
He said, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.” This means all humans must become people of God, so the Kingdom
of God will come. Truly, even before the Creation, God had planned to
make us people of God in Christ by the gospel of the water and spirit,
created man within that providence, and saved those of us the sinners
from all our sins. And He gave His perfect salvation to us who believe
in the Truth of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Therefore, we,
who became the people of God by believing in the gospel of the water and
the Spirit, must live a life that prays and works hard so that the
Kingdom of God will come quickly.
We
must do this so that the number of people who have received the
remission of sin will increase. We are sure that the Lord will come back
in the near future and that He will give blessings and rewards to us
who are faithful to His Great Commission. We must pray for the quick
establishment the Kingdom of God so that God will accomplish all His
plans predetermined in Jesus Christ.
We
must live by the faith and pray for the people to receive the remission
of their sins and for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. We must work
hard to spread this gospel of the water and the Spirit to every country
in the world, so that all those who are to believe will believe and
come back to God to glorify Him. We must make the unbelievers repent
quickly before God to receive His perfect salvation. This is what the
passage “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven” means.
Therefore,
we must pray and work hard according to the Lord’s Prayer. We must pray
that He will open the door so that the gospel of the water and the
Spirit will quickly be spread. And we must pray for this mission:
“Please keep us safe and bless us so that we can do the work.” “Your
will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Truly, just as the remission
of sin is fulfilled in our hearts, we must live a life of prayer so that
the gospel of water and the Spirit will be fulfilled in the hearts of
many of those who have not heard the gospel. We must live as we pray
that God gives the faith to all the brothers and sisters in God, and
that He blesses us so that we can spread the beautiful gospel of the
water and the Spirit all over the world and glorify God with true faith.
We Must Pray for Our Daily Food
Third,
the Lord told us to pray for our daily food: “Give us this day our
daily bread.” We can live only if we also have our spiritual food. So,
God told us to pray for spiritual food. He said that we must ask for our
daily food everyday. We must pray for our daily food “God help us that
we can eat the spiritual food and live.”
God
told us to pray for our daily bread, so we should pray like this:
“Father God, please fills us with worldly material so that we do not
lack any materials for flesh and spirit, that He blesses us so that we
can share what we have with others rather than borrowing from others.
Let me become a man of faith who tries to attend every meeting and share
fellowship with the other born-again saints in order to eat spiritual
food.”
Dear
fellow Christians, can we live one day without eating spiritual food?
Can we live even one day without doing God’s work? Our Lord said, “I
have food to eat of which you do not know” (John 4:32). The food for us
who are born again is doing God’s work. When we do the work of God, it
becomes food in our hearts and the Holy Spirit in your hearts rejoices.
When you become irritable even though you have received the remission of
sin, try doing God’s work. When you serve God, your body may be tired,
but the Holy Spirit in you rejoices. Our hearts are glad because the
Holy Spirit is pleased. This is the spiritual food.
We
can also eat spiritual food when we meet our brothers and sisters and
have fellowship with them. This is because during the fellowship, the
mind and will of the Holy Spirit were interchanged each other through
the body of our brothers and sisters. But, this does not mean that we
must sever our lives from the world. This means that we live in this
world, but we must meet other righteous people as often as possible.
And
we also have to pray and read the Bible to eat our daily food. Who can
always do well on eating spiritual food everyday? But we can eat the
spiritual food and maintain our spiritual strength by coming to church.
This is why we have to attend every worship service and meeting of God’s
Church. Gathering together is good and also it is a great blessing to
eat spiritual food. This is also doing spiritual work. Psalms 133:1
says, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is. For brethren to dwell
together in unity!” All the gatherings and services in church are not
randomly planned with no significance, but are systematically organized
so that we can eat together the daily food that is hard to eat alone.
Therefore, by coming to this meeting, we can eat much food.
Dear
fellow Christians, since He said to pray to God for our daily food
rather than complaining of a shortage of food, we must ask for help as
we pray: “Give me the daily food, God, give me the blessings to earn
much material so that I will not lack in worldly materials. Give me the
spiritual food and faith, and bless me so that I can do the work of God
with faith. Give me blessings for flesh and spirit.” We can receive food
only when we ask for help.
We
must ask for food for the flesh and for the spirit. We must do the work
of God and be glad in it. We must pray, seek, knock and ask for these.
We must ask actively, for Jesus promised us saying, “Ask, and it will be
given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to
you” (Matthew 7:7). We ask with our hearts, acknowledge with our mouth
and act it out to seek, ask and receive. If we look up, pray, and seek
how and through what God will give us, we will receive it. That is how
we live everyday. Therefore, the Lord told us to pray for these things.
We Must Forgive Each Other As the Children of God the Father
The
fourth part of the prayer is “And forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the
evil one.” This means that since God forgave all of our sins, there
should not be anything we, the born-again, do not forgive each other
for. If there is any evil carnal mind in our heart that cannot forgive
others, you should pray: “God, keep me safe and deliver me from the evil
one so that I do not fall for evil, and give me the heart and faith
that forgive.” This means that when we do not have the strength to
follow God’s will, we should ask God for help and live by the help from
God.
In
addition, there is no one whose life of faith is perfect from the
beginning. When you look at yourselves, do you see many shortcomings of
your own? —Yes.— Do we have more wrong doings than righteous doings?
—Yes.— Dear fellow Christians, do not be discouraged. If we make
mistakes, have shortcomings, and are conscience stricken, but do not
have the strength to make it right, what do we do then? We call on God
again.
“God
Father, make me someone who is a person of blessing, a person of faith,
a person of joy. Give me the faith.” Should we not ask God for help
like this? Is it not true? That is all we have to do. When we ask God
for help, does He give us help or not? —He does.— When He does, do we
become people of faith or not? —We do.— Therefore, I hope you become
people of faith, who seek and live with faith rather than people who
look back at the past discouraged, are remorseful of the present, and
give up the future. The past is the past and the present is the present.
The past is not so important just as the song says: “Do not ask about
the past.”
God
is powerful, so He likes people who ask Him for much. He is offended
when we do not ask. When we ask God for what we need, He is pleased and
thinks, ‘You know that I am powerful, you know that your Father is rich.
It is commendable.’ We should ask for good things as well rather than
saying ‘I can do it myself’ because then the Father’s dignity is lost.
God, who saved us, likes it very much when we ask Him to give us things.
Ask Him to give, give, and give. We should ask everyday “Give us our
daily food,” and ask Him to give us blessing whenever we open our mouth.
If this was biological father, he will slap us because we ask him to
give everyday, but our spiritual Father is not like that. Rather, He is
pleased that we ask Him to give us what we need to work for the gospel
of the water and the Spirit everyday.
If
your biological father gave it to you yesterday, and you ask the same
thing to him again today, he surely becomes angry, so the biological son
cannot even ask because he is afraid. We examine the mood of our father
and mother and think ‘Oh, if I ask to give today, I will be slapped,’
and if he looks to be in a good mood, only then do we go up to him and
we barely receive anything. However, our spiritual Father is not like
that. If we ask as soon as we open our eyes ‘give me,’ and during our
sleep ‘give me,’ then God is pleased and says, “Yes, I will. I will give
it to you, but you cannot use it at random, but use it properly, Okay?”
and gives it to us at once. This is the reality.
God
the Father, who saved you and me, loves more those who ask more. If you
do not have faith, ask Him, “Give me faith. Give me. Give me.” Then,
you will know, in no time, God has given you faith. You can feel this,
“O my! I have faith, I can believe, I used my faith. I have faith!” Do
not be reluctant to ask God binding by your own thought. Just ask Him
anything boldly as if you have entrusted God with it. The Lord likes it
that way.
Dear
fellow Christians, do you know how faith that was not there before
comes to being? It is because you ask to “give me the faith, give, give
it to me,” and so God gave it to you. We received it because God gave it
to us. There is no other way to have faith. It is also because God
saved us and became the Father to you and me. We did nothing more than
ask, “Give us Lord. Give us.”
When
we teach little children about prayer, the children pray, “Jesus, give
me cookies. I pray in Jesus name. Amen” and open their eyes. When they
open their eyes, if there are no cookies, they exclaim, “There are no
cookies,” and start crying. In such a case, I explain, “Hey, you rascal,
how can He, even though He is God, bring cookies when you have just
opened your eyes after your prayer? God is listening now ‘Ok’, and
thinks in His heart ‘I will give it to him’, and commands the angels to
bring you the cookies.”
Even
though God does not give immediately when we pray, we experience that
He gives the to right man in the right place, and we can testify that He
gives. This is why we must always pray to give us much.
Do
you not have many necessities? If there is anything that we need or we
lack for the flesh or spirit, we must pray for them: “Give us faith.
Give us blessings. Give us fullness of the Holy Spirit. I heard that
there is fullness of the Holy Spirit—give us that. Help us live for
righteousness. Give to us.” If we pray like that, even though it is a
prayer of an immature child, since the Father knows what the child
needs, He gives what the son needs to the right man in the right place.
This
is why praying is not hard. Just saying “give me” well is praying. Do
you think like this? —“Well, I am all grown up. He said not to say the
same thing over and over. And the Bible says that I should go to my room
to pray, but if I go to my room, I cannot pray, but only become
sleepy.” Praying and asking for help always in our heart “give us, give
us” is praying.
Since
I have started praying, I found out that He does not like prayers with
florid phrases. When we make a fuss with “Our holy, benevolent, graceful
and omnipotent God, the Father…,” then God becomes impatient, saying,
“What is the ultimate purpose then?” No matter how much we make a fuss
with fluent speech skills, if we do not tell Him the purpose, it is
nothing. When we are desperate out of absolute necessity, the main
subject comes out immediately. “Give me this.” It is better to have one
short sentence when we ask. When we make it unnecessarily long just to
look good, we come to forget what we pray for. ‘What was I praying for?
Oh, damn it. I don’t know.’ Then we pray for something that is
off-the-wall, and end up praying for someone else, and do not get to the
necessary prayers for ourselves. Do you not sometimes do that?
When
we first opened the mission school, we used to pray sitting around in a
circle after having a class. We sometimes prayed in unison and
sometimes we took turns praying. We were praying so long, usually over
two hours, that our backs hurt. However, we prayed diligently. The
prayer leader kept giving out prayer topics, and we all went around in
prayers. Some brothers and sisters complained that their backs hurt due
to such a long prayer meeting.
I
was told an episode that a certain elder of a church once prayed in a
early morning worship service for over three hours excerpting passages
from Genesis to Revelations. His prayer never ended so that everyone at
the church went home to have breakfast and came back, he was still
praying. In general, people like that do not pray much at home or
anywhere else. They pray for a long time to compensate for their lack of
praying when they are asked to pray during services. However, that is
not how we should pray. A short prayer is a good prayer. If we stretch
it as if we stretch a rubber band, we forget what we are really praying
for.
Sometimes,
we pray in union with a few prayer topics. If the prayer leader says
many topics all at once, to be honest, sometimes I cannot remember the
earlier prayer topics and only remember the later ones. When that
happens, I start praying for the later ones first. “God, give me this,
give me that,” when I pray as such, I sometimes can remember the earlier
prayer topics.
“God
the Father, give us our daily food, give us the worldly material
necessities today, give us health, give us the strength to do the work
of God, give us blessings, give us faith, help us carry out
righteousness with faith. Help us not to waste our life.” —We pray
laying out the main subject in this manner.
Praying
in faith is not hard. If we have been saved, then God is our Father.
Being embarrassed for calling the Father “Father” is stranger. ‘Is Jesus
the Father? Is Jesus’ Father the Father? If the Holy Spirit is God,
then is the Holy Spirit the Father?’ When you think about it like this,
this gives you a headache. Dear fellow Christians, the Triune God is all
our Savior and all our Father. Some people, after believing in Jesus
for 20 years still do not understand this, so they are still confused
about whether God is the Father, or Jesus is the Father, or the Holy
Spirit is the Father. They all mean the same thing.
Jehovah
God means “God the existing One.” God is not a creation. Jesus is our
Savior and the Holy Spirit is God’s Holy Spirit, so they are all the
same God in their Divinity and there is no need to make it complicated.
Just believe that “God said so, therefore it is right.” If we are surely
born again and have received the remission of sin, everything is
allowed to you. Knowing that, I hope you all become God’s saints and
male and female servants of God, who always pray for daily food.
Let’s
stick to the main topic again. We are talking about His teaching:
“Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” There are many wrongs
that others do to us, and many wrongs that we do to others. However, did
God or did He not wipe out all of our sins and others’ sins? —He wiped
them all out.— When He blotted them all out, should we not forgive from
our hearts those who do wrongs to us? —We should forgive them.— This is
the premise to pray, “And forgive us our debts as we forgive our
debtors.” When God has forgiven all of our sins, if we cannot forgive
each other, it is not proper as children of God. This is why He said
this.
Therefore,
we must pray when we have gone down the wrong way and the evil mind
becomes strong and we fall into evil, and try to punish the others, and
try to win others, and bear someone a grudge: “Do not let me fall into
evil. Do not let me fall into temptation and do not let me run into
trouble due to my carnal temper, which becomes a stumbling block for the
gospel rather than benefit. Do not let me fall for temptation and run
into trouble so that the church, other Christians and I, my self, will
not be harmed by it. Protect me from falling into evil. Help me control
my heart. Give me strength. Give me strength that can carry out the
works of God’s righteousness.”
He
told us to forgive, love, tolerate and pray for others. We must pray
for everyone: “God, Give him the faith so that he will be saved from all
his sins. His behaviors are kind of so-so, but please save him.” We
need to pray like this. Can we pray for everyone in the world or not?
—We can.— We can forgive and love all in our heart within the beautiful
gospel of the water and the Spirit.
Truly,
righteous people should not fall into evil. It is good to fall into
righteousness, but is it good to fall into evil? Should we get drunk and
make disturbances and beat people up? No, we should not. If you have
that kind of energy, use it for the work of God. We should use that
energy to diligently do the work of God, and diligently work for the
will of the Lord rather than fighting. This is why God tells us to pray
for these things so that we do not fall into evil. We should not fall
into evil.
There
are many outrageous people in this world. When we come across such
people, if they do not seem to be anyone who may be beneficial to us, it
is wise to bring down our separation before these people and avoid
them.
Why
did God add this verse at the end of the Lord’s Prayer? “For if you
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.” This means that a righteous person must
live as a righteous person with faith. If we received the remission of
all our sins before God, we also must forgive all our brothers and
sisters as well as all those who are yet not born again. If we do not
have a forgiving heart, we must ask for help: “Father God, give me
forgiving heart.” To command us to live like this, God added this
teaching at the end.
Is
praying hard or not? It is not hard. The essence of prayer is
faith—faith that God is my God, my Savior, and my Father. He created us
and saved us from all our sins. If so, we, the born-again are His
people, His household, and His children, so that it is only natural that
we call Him Father. In addition, it is righteous to thank Him that we
are His people.
We
must pray that we do not fall into evil and temptation and go down the
wrong path. Jesus teaches us what to pray first: “Seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to
you.” Is there anything you need? Then, pray and live for the Kingdom of
God first. Your Father will give everything to you. This is God’s
promise.
So,
we must believe this, seek the work of God first even though we truly
have shortcomings, try to live by God’s will first, and ask God for
help. We should always have a desire to grow in spirit and be faithful
to God’s works by receiving His grace and help even though we have
shortcomings. Do you understand? —Yes.— Do you believe? —Yes.—
When
we pray all together, we must pray carefully out loud. When you do
that, your thoughts are organized so that you develop the faith, saying,
“I prayed like this, and I believe like this.” And when God answers, we
know that “the answer is coming from God because I prayed like this,”
and our faith grows. This is why it is good to pray neatly with our
mouth.
In
addition, when we pray, it is possible to pray same things over and
over, but we should not pray in formality. Sometimes, the heart says
this way, but some outrageous things can come out of the mouth. When
that happens, we must correct it with words. God sees, knows, and works
in the center of our hearts, but it is important to confess correctly
with our mouth as well. Therefore the Bible says, “For with the heart
one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.”
And
the Lord says, “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also
to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12). If we
truly want to receive something, we must pray. If we truly want to have
faith before God, want to live with faith, want to live righteously,
want to have life in abundance for the flesh and spirit, we must ask
often for many things.
Let
us live with such faith. Let us live with such faith and welcome the
Lord when He comes back. This is my faith and this is my prayer before
God. And I believe it will be done.
While
we are devoting ourselves to spreading the true gospel worldwide
through the literature ministries, an enormous amount of money will be
needed. As for the finances that are necessary for the publication, I
believe that God will take care of it for us. God has supplied all our
needs so far, and will surely support us sufficiently. We have been able
to do His works well, and there have arisen countless co-workers among
the born-again through our Christian literature. But the devil also
knows this, and tries to hinder our ministries. I am afraid that the
devil may thwart this work and give us many difficulties. Therefore, we
cannot but pray to God for His help and protection.
When
we publish books, we work with those who are born again in most cases,
but sometimes, we also work unavoidably with those who are not. When we
were editing the French edition of our first book, we put in tremendous
amount of effort, but we found a mistake on the cover that is absolutely
off from the original book. Of course, the French translator might do
his best in his own way, but made a critical mistake, making the entire
effort come to nothing. Therefore, we should pray to God to prevent such
loss from now on.
Right
now, English versions and Spanish versions of our gospel series are
most popular. The next popular version is French. What does this mean?
In areas where God works greatly, the devil also works hard to thwart
our works. This is why we must pray to God to protect us from the evil
ones, and to supervise and reign over these people who are working
together with us, so that everything will go well. We should also pray
to God to help and protect all the brothers and sisters and the male and
female servants, who are devoting themselves to this precious mission.
This is why we pray.
You
must pray for yourselves as well. God will be glorified when you lead a
faithful life! Also you need to lead a righteous life of faith if
others are to be saved through you, and this is the only way you would
be blessed in your flesh and spirit. This is why we pray. We must know
the necessity of prayers and live as we pray with faith.
Let
us live as we ask with prayers of faith that always believe in God. We
must live as we pray that God blesses all male, female servants and all
God’s people in areas where we work for the gospel, and that He blesses
and provides everything so that the spread of this gospel of water and
Spirit will be done powerfully.
