Prayer

By Rebecca Clopp

Our country has Evil Practices! Ask God to Reveal Himself to all who are in authority. Change them or move them. Pray!

PRACTICE

“Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.”‭‭

1 John‬ ‭3:4-10‬ ‭NASB

LOVE

“For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:11-16‬ ‭NASB

ACTIONS

“Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.”‭‭

1 John‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭NASB

OBEDIENCE

“Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.”‭‭

1 John‬ ‭3:21-22‬ ‭NASB

BELIEVE

“This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭NASB

ABIDE

Let the Spirit of God direct your heart to do His Will. Talk to the Lord! Spend time in His Word and abide.

“The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:24‬ ‭NASB

FAITH

As you pray, remember, be faithful to the end!

“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭NASB
