If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>John 17:11 </b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Now I am parting from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.</span></span><br />

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1 John 5:14-15</b> And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him. And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we know that He will give us what we ask for.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Romans 12:4-5</b> Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we belong to each other.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>And...Jesus went to church....</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Luke 4:16 </b>When He came to the village of Nazareth, His boyhood home, He went as usual to the synagogue in the Sabbath and stood to read the Scriptures.</span><br />

It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Joshua 1:8</b> Study this Book of instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Matthew 4:4</b> But Jesus told them,<span style="color: red;"> "No, the scriptures say, people do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06836379391293077678noreply@blogger.com0
