Wed. Feb. 22, 2012 Prayer 3

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, give thanks to Him and praise His name.

Good Salvation Wednesday Evening, my dear brothers and sisters. Happy Birthday, Mr. President (The Late President, General George Washington).  Please pray today for salvation for the lost and for God to use those of us who are saved to help bring in the lost. Today Grant and I went to Hershey, and along with my friend Tom Mozer removed the electric from the building we are bringing in for the ministry. It is now ready to be loaded and hauled. We are having it moved by the pros so all goes well and the state permits will be covered. Please pray for the move. Those who might have missed what is going on, we have been blessed by God to have worked out the purchase of a shed type office building, that was under some water at the Museum of Bus Transportation Annex Building. Their board approved the sale to us for $500.00 and it will cost us about $200.00 to transport. It is going to become a place where children can come to talk to Santa and hear about Jesus, and yes, get a toy. All the toys in our inventory will be moved from our food pantry are giving us more room for food and clothing. Thanks for all who have sent donations in to help cover the cost of the building.

February 22, 2012 Prayer 3 Psalm 100:4 - Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, give thanks to Him and praise His name. (NIV)

As I said the other day there are many different kinds of prayer. I find there are five. Today I am going to do something I don't often do, I am going into the archives and do a reprint on these five prayer points. I am doing this to get the message out as my hand does not want to let me type, so I am having problems, yet I am typing all I can as the doctor wants me to use the hand. Tomorrow and Friday we will again look at the Lord's prayer. Let's pray now and then look at the five points of prayer.

Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive us of our sins and help us through this day. Please look at our prayer requests and please, please use us to help bring in the lost. Lord, thanks for all you do for us, and Lord, thanks trusting us to be in service for You. In Jesus'  name, I pray. Amen.

THERE ARE FIVE KINDS OF PRAYER

1.  PRAISE: PRAISE MEANS THAT WE RECOGNIZE HOW GREAT GOD IS AND WE SAY HOW MUCH WE LOVE GOD.

2.  THANKSGIVING: THANKSGIVING MEANS THAT WE RECOGNIZE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US AND DONE FOR US AND WE SAY THANK YOU.

3.  CONFESSION: TO CONFESS IS TO TELL GOD THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE DONE THINGS THAT ARE WRONG. WHEN WE

CONFESS WE ALSO SAY TO GOD I’M SORRY. WE MUST ALSO REPENT.

4.  INTERCESSION: INTERCESSION IS PRAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSE THROUGH PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION. WE MAY ASK GOD TO HELP SOMEONE, TO COMFORT SOMEONE OR TO BE PRESENT WITH SOMEONE DURING A DIFFICULT TIME.

5.  PETITION: PETITION IS TELLING GOD WHAT WE NEED, LIKE GIVE US OUR DAILY BREAD. A PRAYER OF PETITION SOMETIMES (OR A LOT OF TIMES) ASKS FOR THINGS THAT WE WANT.

Now go forth and share your blessings.  Love ya, Pastor Dan.
