OCTOBER EMPHISIS: The Power of Prayer

 PRAYER THEME
  Pray that we at Agape get a deeper realization of how crucial our prayer lives really are, and are compelled to pray regularly and develop new habits of prayer during our journey of prayer in 2024.  May we sense the Holy Spirit taking hold with us as we pray each day and truly learn the value of our prayers as we begin to see things changing because God is answering us!
 
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.  Ephesians 6:18
 
In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words, and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit’s meaning is, because His intercessions for God’s people are in harmony with God’s will.  Romans 8:26-27 Weymouth
 
I can just imagine Satan gathering all the demons in hell and discussing what they can do to destroy Christians. And Satan says, 'Keep them from praying. Because no matter what else they do, if they don't pray, we can beat them every time. But if they learn how to pray, they'll beat us every time. Keep them from praying.'" - Dr. Sidlow Baxter
 
"Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan." 
- John Bunyan
 
Have a blessed week and thank you for joining us in our “journey of prayer” for 2024!
