This is our theme for 2010 at Bluelick Bible Church. We know that God desires us to pray. In this great passage of scripture Paul sets forth the Priority of Prayer when he says in verse 1; "I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men;" First of all, we have an obligation to Pray! Then the Principle Focus of Prayer is to be "For Kings, and for all that are in authority:" for all men pray but especially for those who have God given authority over our lives. The Petition of our Prayers "that we may lead a quiet and peacable life in all godliness and honesty." We are to pray for those in authority so that they will allow us to live in a way that pleases God without their interference. The Purpose of such Prayer seems to be that it pleases God and will enable us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that men may be saved! 1 Timothy 2:3-4 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." The next two verses give us a reason for Passion in Prayer; "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." Please Join us in Praying and if you do not know the Saviour please contact us at preacher@wciol.com for a personal opportunity to talk about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
