AMEN PRAISE THE LORD PRAYING THE SCRIPTURES BY ELMER L TOWNS 2 Corinthians 6:1-18 Lord, I want to be Your partner in ministry, I want everyone to take advantage Of Your grace that is available to all believers. The Scriptures teach, “I, the Lord, have listened To my people, when they needed salvation, I came to them and helped them.” Now this is a good time for all people to be saved, Today is the day of salvation. Lord, I will not do anything to discredit myself So that I make it hard for people to get saved. Praying the Book of Second Corinthians 549 Actually, I will do the opposite, I will do everything to bring people to Christ. Lord, I will patiently go through sufferings And difficulties and pressures for You. I am willing to be beaten, imprisoned, And will face angry rioters for You. I am willing to work hard, go without sleep, Or go without food for You. Lord, I want to be pure, patient, and kind, Loving and knowledgeable of Your principles. So, I can minister in the Holy Spirit’s power, According to the Word of God; Clothed in the armor of righteousness. Therefore, I will stand true on the right hand and on the left, Prepared for honor or dishonor, Whether good reports or bad reports. I will continue ministering if I’m accused of lying, Or, if people accept my honest presentation. It doesn’t make any difference if I’m ignored, Or if I’m well known. Also, I’ll continue in ministry if I narrowly escape death, Or if I have a safe environment. Lord, people think my life is miserable, Yet, I always rejoice. They treat me like I’m poor, and have nothing, But compared to all people, I’m rich and have everything. Lord, Paul spoke very frankly to the Corinthians, He didn’t hide anything from them. The conviction they felt came from their hearts, It didn’t come from Paul. PRAYING THE NEW TESTAMENT 550 Paul said he spoke to them as children, Now he wants them to respond With childish enthusiasm and obedience. Lord, I will not tie my life to the decisions Of unsaved people who will lead me astray; Good intentions can’t tolerate an evil agenda. There is no common agreement between light and darkness, Christ and the devil do not agree on anything. There is no agreement between Your temple and idols, So I won’t let unbelievers control my life. I want You to live in the body of my temple Because You said, “I will dwell in my people, Just as I dwelt in the Old Testament temple; I will walk with them And they will be my people.” Lord, You want me to separate myself from unsaved people And not touch dirty things, So You can welcome me and be my Father, And all believers shall be Your sons and daughters As You have promised. Amen
