Prayer: O Mighty God,
We pray for all people in all places. God Bless us all. We ask for prayer partners to save this world in the names of Jesus. Bless this message with The Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, we give you all the praise, honor and glory....
Sermon: We thank God and praise God for you with perfect love, peace and joy of Jesus in our hearts. This message is to move you to become a prayer partner with us to save the world. The Holy Spirit has been good to us in that we have grown so much in a short period of time, all to the Glory of god. Let us turn quickly to our scripture:
Luke 4:14-21 (New International Version)
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."[a]
20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Footnotes:
a.Luke 4:19 Isaiah 61:1,2
The Lord clearly speaks to us through His word. The Spirit is upon us to do the work of the Lord. My friend, we must pray. Jesus was born and died on the cross and rose on the third day to save the world. God gave us The Holy Spirit to pray in this magnificent light. We are the light of the world. Pray with us in Jesus name for the world to be saved from darkness. Bless in and all your household as we pray in Jesus name A-MEN.

What is a Prayer Partner?
The Joy of Jesus is working hard to find prayer partners to save the world. This sounds nearly impossible, yet our faith tell us we can do all things through Christ Jesus. The real question is ,what is a prayer partner? The following may add some light on this subject, as we pray for you, to pray with us:
Touching Heaven, Changing Earth!
Did you know through prayer, it literally can change everything in the world. There are two types of prayers and those that pray. There are passive prayers and aggressive prayers. Not familiar with the two? Aggressive prayer seeks His presence and His will to be done in all things. Does not sound aggressive? It is and it works. God knows what is best and what is needed. Aggressive prayer builds us in faith and works in the missions field, changing lives and turning night into day.
We see, hear, speak because of the condition of our hearts and that condition will either produce results or not based on what we are focused on. Want to receive God's Blessing? Do things God's way and you will get things in His results and you are blessed. Scripture tells us that what we give we will receive, pressed down and shaken up. Each of us that has His Spirit have been given freely and by us learning how to release His Spirit on problems, needs and situations turns everything around as long as we are seeking for His will to be done.
The norm in prayer and in missions is for those churches that do send missionaries to the field is to pray for the missionaries. Actually the truth is we often do not pray for missionaries and wonder why they are not as effective as they could be. How can we make it better? First understand His way of getting things done. If the five fold gift ministry is present, you will find His presence. Secondly, in adopting the people and the missionary it becomes personal to us. Biblically, God adopt us and if we are like Him we should adopt each other and and the unreached. It is mostly about a condition of the heart to do so or not. But if we want to end the nonsense, starvation, the very work of the devil we will understand His ways in His covenant provision and do them.
Who should pray? A better question is who wants God's blessing because they are one in the same? Did you know that if you are praying for someone in the field and for those they are trying to reach and one enters the kingdom of God you the person in prayer receives an equal reward as those in the field. Do things God's way, you get His result and provision. Do things our way and it usually does not work and we end up with little results. Here is the the key to all His blessings, "the body working in love, unity and forgiveness." It brings His love, provision and power to get the job done.
Want your church to grow, your neighborhoods change and go from problems to solutions? Do it God's way, it works every time, but it is up to us to want to do it His way. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47 It works every time and you have His guarantee on it. His word and what He died for so things could get done His way, with His result.
The Prayer Partner is one of the most important people in helping establish the Kingdom of God here on earth, as they are the backbone of any ministry. Prayer partners pull down the strongholds so those sent to the mission field can accomplish what they are called to accomplish. Prayer connects the throne room of heaven to earth and a prayer partner is a partnership with Him and those in the mission field. It is the Prayer Partner that prays and intercedes for people on a local, national and on a global basis as they work to pull down the strongholds, praying for His presence, His will to be done in people(s) lives or areas, to resolve needs, and open new areas of evangelism. Prayer is key as it unlocks His will and presence because His house is a house of prayer. Those that dwell with Him will pray and seek His presence.
Prayer is a difficult job to do and stay focused on and we recognize that, but we also know that prayer is the first step to getting things turned around. If we are going to do something about starvation, crime, etc., then we as His people need to understand His ways, covenants and statutes so we can dwell with Him and He with us so we can be effective in prayer. Christians need to learn how to get serious about prayer and what prayer can do for us. We all need more of Jesus and we need to remember to invite Him in everything that we do.
The Prayer Partner is instrumental in putting an end to disease, starvation, crime, abuses and addictions, and can even put an end to war. The focus of the Prayer Partner is one of intercession and prayer. Prayer helps establish the new believer and maintains the worker in the field, Gal. 4:19. It is through prayer that we can be victorious as we reach out to a hurting world in need.
Prayer in Agreement
Prayer brings His presence with His presence His love and provision to deal with all needs in each of us in body, soul and spirit. Think for a moment of what prayer can do if we are in agreement. If any two agree and touch anything it will be done. It can change churches and communities. Everyone knows the problems that exist in most communities and we have been given the power of God to deal with all things in local communities in prayer, not just in the local church but connecting with as many as 1 million people in prayer at any given moment globally to be in agreement with as long as we seek His presence and His will done in peoples lives. Often times we do not reach out to others in need because we are not sure. However, if we are connected to 1 million in prayer for us and those we reach out to it will change lives dramatically.
The concept is simple. As we go out daily and do what we do at work or school we always hear of people that have problems or needs. All we have to ask if they would like us to pray for them and seek God's will for them. All you need to do is let us know the need by putting it on the prayer board and you will be connected to ministers and believers globally that will be praying for that person and you for His will to be done in both. THAT IS THE POWER OF GOD ON EARTH! YOU WILL SEE MIRACLES. As you see the results of prayer in changed lives, we encourage you to look on the board and pray for others seeking God's will for each one, releasing His Spirit on each person and each situation. You pray for others like yourself and others pray for you. It is how His will can be done through each of us and gives hope for us and our families. What we do for each other we do for Him. What we give we receive, pressed down and shaken together. Do you want problems to be dealt with by the hand of God? Pray and pray with others and for others in agreement. God has a way to get things done on earth, but we have to be willing to do it His way and it all starts with prayer! Working together as one body globally, those in the world will see Him and His will for them, because the body loved Him and His ways to reach all globally.
Whether you are new to prayer or not we want to work with you and help you to become everything that God has called you to do and become. Currently we are assembling a prayer package for prayer partners. A package of helps and tools designed to help you in prayer and your life and will give you a clearer understanding of how it all can come together.
We need Prayer Partners and we are looking for 1 million to pray, reaching out to 1 billion in need. If you are interested in seeing lives change and in joining a team that is making a difference, helping to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth, living by faith and not by sight, we are looking for you! The power of prayer is huge! The Time is now! Your help is needed!
Catch the Vision! Touching Heaven and Changing Earth!

Scripture for Life
Romans 8
Life Through the Spirit
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in sinful man,[d] 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man[e] is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind[f] is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Future Glory
18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that[i] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[l] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Romans 8:28
Prayer: Oh God, we love You today. We pray for all people for Your power to make all things good in Christ Jesus. We Praise Thee and give You all the Glory A-men.
Sermon: It is all good. This is a bold statement. God is good, but what about everything else? We need to know that we are safe. This is a basic need. Without safety, it creates tremendous fear and people will do just about anything. The unknown is frighting. The scripture tell us that all things work together for good.
Our message today is to give you some solace in knowing and understanding Gods word that may give you comfort during these tough days. It is all good with God and for those who love God and pray for Gods Will. We have faith in God to protect us for our betterment. God will do as God has done in the past. We thank God all in Christ Jesus for all he has done for us and this ministry.
In closing, it is all good in the Lord. God is in control of everything. All things work for God. The people who truly love God will trust in His grace. God gave us Jesus who died for our sins on the cross and was raised again for our salvation. This was was the greatest act of love ever known. It is good because God is good and He loves us and we I pray in the name of Jesus that we love him, for it is all God, A-men.

True Comfort
We look for comfort in so many places, yet it is hard to find the peace we need to feel convertible. Arthur Pink is one the best Christian writers of all time. Do read this passage and pray for our continued progress in the Lord:
COMFORT FOR CHRISTIANS
Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many-sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1).
What an honorable title, "My people!" What an assuring relationship: "your God!" What a pleasant task: "comfort ye My people!" A threefold reason may be suggested for the duplicating of the charge. First, because sometimes the souls of believers refuse to be comforted (Ps. 77:2), and the consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to press this duty the more emphatically upon the preacher's heart, that he need not be sparing in administering cheer. Third, to assure us how heartily desirous God himself is that His people should be of good cheer (Phil. 4:4).
God has a "people," the objects of His special favour: a company whom He has taken into such intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them "My people." Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruption's, the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low state of Christ’s cause upon earth. The "God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that His servants should bind up the broken-hearted and pour the balm of Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim "Who is a God like unto Thee!" (Micah 7:18), who has provided for the comfort of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors of His Law.
May it please Him to use His Word as expounded in this book to speak peace to afflicted souls today, and the glory shall be His alone.
—A. W. Pink, 1952
