PrayUK November Bulletin 2008
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority…” (1 Timothy 2:1)
Dear Friends,
I am reminded of that recent song, “God is good – He is good all of the time!” At times, it is good to remind ourselves that God is firmly on the Throne and in control of our own situation, as well as that of our nation and others across the globe.
Following on from last month, we believe it is right in November to continue to press on into God for our nation, especially for individuals and families who are beginning to be caught up in the financial situation. Please pray as Paul instructs us, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority…” (1Timothy 2:1). Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit as to what else He reveals to you to pray for as we sense there is a spiritual challenge being fought over in the heavenlies; we are just seeing part of it being displayed here on earth.
We must remember to keep our eyes on Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah , Who likes to display Himself as a Lamb, while the enemy struts about as a roaring lion. It is good to know Who wins in the end!
Thank you for praying with us and be encouraged!
