As I'm recording this message, I feel specifically led to pray for those who might be listening.
Father in heaven, I just ask special blessings upon anybody that might be listening to this message, whether they received it directly,
answered the phone and are listening,
whether they received it as a voicemail or an answer machine message, or whether they're listening to it on Life for Toledo podcast, or
on YouTube, wherever it might be. Lord,
we pray that you will intervene very specifically in our lives and work your will.
We pray your kingdom come, your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven.
We are grateful to know that you love us and care about our individual plight. Would you miraculously intervene?
Some of us need healing, some of us need strength,
some of us need discernment, some of us need wisdom, all of us need hope. Lord, we submit it to you in Jesus name. Amen.
Thinking today of Ephesians 1-9, and I know that God is on our side and has great plans, great desires of good for us,
and it says in Ephesians 1-9, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His kind intention,
which He purposed in Him.
This is that God saves us all if we are willing to follow Him, repent of your sins, and have Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Your Lord is a person who tells you what to do, and you do it, and your Savior is a person who
paid the price for your sins. And our previous disqualified nature has been done away with us,
done away with, and we can be united in His Church with Jesus at the head.
You can serve God through Jesus Christ His Son. You can be saved through Jesus Christ His Son.
And having been saved, we now know His kind intention for us, and He's no problem with us lifting up our desires and our needs to Him,
as we have just done. Praise you, Father, for loving us and reminding us of your kind intention for us.
