PRAY, CHURCH PRAY!

Pray Church, Pray!

1. Pray like Epaphras,

that others "may stand perfect and complete in the will of God" Col. 4: 12.

"Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured."

2. Pray like Paul

did for the Thessalonians, that others may be sanctified wholly— 1 Thess. 5: 23.

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

3. Pray like the Apostles

did for the elected deacons, that others may be qualified by the Holy Spirit for His work— Acts 6: 6.

"These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them as they laid their hands on them."

4. Pray like the Church

did for Peter, that others may be got out of the prison of difficulties— Acts. 12:5.

"So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him."

5. Pray as Peter and John

did for the believers at Ephesus, that others may receive the Holy Spirit— Acts 8:15.

"When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,"

6. Pray as the Church at Antioch

did for Paul and Barnabas, that others may be led in the Lord's work— Acts 13:3.

"So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off."

7. Pray as The Apostle

did for the elders and church at Ephesus, that the leaders would be kept from error and evil and kept in the grace of God— Acts 20:36.

"When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed."
