Pray for kings...that they might be saved

"Pray for kings", Presidents in our case"1 Tim 2:1-4

 

That is a command from God!

 

Pray they might be saved 1 Tim 2:4 "Who would have all men saved"

 

Pray for wisdom, "it is more valuable than rubies and all thing thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her" Pro. 3:15 James 1:5 Great verse!

 

Pray he be delivered from the evil (one) Mat 6:13.

 

Pray "thy will be done"

 

Render unto Caesar the things that Caesars and unto god the things that are God's.

 

Pray that he and all iin authority will remember we are a Christian nation, founded on Christian principles and keep it that way. ABC sumner

A demonstration of the Spirit and power

I hope you get this, ""I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling" does that sound like a great powerful preacher? "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing works of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power"
1 Cor. 2:3,4. Learn this dear Christian and then obey God and go give the gospel to "every creature" you can and see what God will do.
I am quite weary of hearing carnal Christians trying to excuse their lack of witnessing by saying, well Sumner, that is just you. You have the gift of evangelism. Excuse me, there is no "gift of evangelism" Please read the verses about the gifts of the Spirit, such as 1 Cor. 12 and you will not find a "gift of evangelism" There is a calling to be an evangelist. I surely am not one of them. I do not take evangelistic meetings. I have flopped in evangelistic meetings. I am not an evangelist but I do the work of an evangelist and see a lot of people saved through giving the gospel like God commanded ALL Christians to do.
 
The key is to witness, preach the gospel, as Phillip did in Acts 8, one on one, in "a demonstration of the Spirit and power". 1 Cor. 2::2, 3. Any real soul-winner will tell you emphatically, "I did not do it. I just gave the gospel and the Holy Spirit did all the work of convicting, convincing, and converting". Believe me I have never taken one once of credit for any person being saved. The key is to be consciously filled with, controlled by the Holy Spirit and obey God to give the full gospel and see Him save them. The full gospel declared in 1 Cor 15:1-4 is 1. how Christ die for our SINS, 2. Was buried, 3. rose again, 4 (sadly is left out by most) and was seen by hundreds". That, (all four points) dear people, is in your Bible too. I know one reason I see many saved is that I VERY CLEARLY GIVE ALL FOUR POINTS OF THE GOSPEL. This is the only way we are going to change the world, one soul at a time.

I exhort that prayer be made for Kings and all in authority

Sounds like this is to pray for the elections! Why? "That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life...' 1 Tim. 2:1-2. Don't we all want that? THEN PRAY AND PRAY AND PRAY SOME MORE

Pray for God to forgive us of our sins. 2 Chron. 7:14. If the 50 million born again Christians each led just ONE soul to Christ, we would have a very difference world the harvest in plenteous, but the LABORERS ARE FEW, VERY FEW, less than 5 % ever lead a soul to Christ. Question? How many people did you personally lead to Christ? How many did you share the gospel with so they had a chance to be saved? "To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is SIN." Sumner, are you trying to lay a guilt on us? YES, if you did not even try to lead a soul to Christ. All for your eternal good and God's glory. Make sense?

Pay your dues, go vote tomorrow. You must vote for those who have Christian values. Let us all humble ourselves before the Lord, lets cry out for His mercies and His directions.

Halloween, I am sure I gave the gospel to more lost people than any church in America had in church this morning. That is not to boast but to point out the opportunity we each had Friday night. I hope you did too. Please believe me, I LOVE YOU, ABC Friday night a 16 year old girl said, Thanks for caring for me" as I gave her, "Your Ticket to Heaven." Sumner
