PRAYER DOES CHANGE LIVES



















PRAYER DOES CHANGE LIVES


The POWER of PRAYER does and CAN
CHANGE LIVES
It has TRANSFORMED mine=
I AM SURE=it can change
EVEN YOURS


The book of Tobit is
NOT a historical book=
It IS and extended PARABLE
That explains the SPIRITUAL TRUTHS
Of life


“My love-get up-
Let us pray and BEG our Lord
To have MERCY on us.........” Tobit 8:4


Today we read about Tobit's son=
Tobiah=who is ANXIOUS to get married


So Tobit SENDS him-
ACCOMPANIED by the angel=Raphael=
To Tobit's relative-Raguel-
Who has a BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER-
By the name of Sarah


Raguel AGREES to LET Sarah
Marry Tobiah-but he has
Some BAD NEWS for Tobiah


Sarah has been married-
SEVEN times before
And EACH time an attempt


Was made to CONSUMMATE the marriage
The man was STRUCK DEAD


The POWER OF PRAYER
The power TO CHANGE LIVES


So Tobiah and Sarah get MARRIED-
BUT before they
TRY to consummate the marriage


They KNEEL DOWN
To OFFER a beautiful PRAYER to God
FOR BLESSINGS


In the MORNING-they are asleep
In EACH OTHER'S arms


What a story
What a WONDERFUL TESTIMONY
To the POWER of PRAYER


What MIRACLE do you need?
HOW CAN prayer CHANGE your life?


“The Lord
Has HEARD my cry for MERCY


The Lord-
ACCEPTS MY PRAYER” Psalm 6:9


“The Lord
Is FAR from the wicked


But he HEARS the PRAYER
Of the righteous” Proverbs 15:29


“If you BELIEVE-you will receive
WHATEVER you ask for
In prayer” Matthew 21:22


The LORD has CHANGED my life
From ONE of trying to do
Everything by MYSELF


To one of DEPENDING-on God
Family-friends-churches-and
TRUSTING THE LORD


My life-has been-
CHANGED through PRAYER
And all of my needs are FULFILLED


“IF you really CHANGE your ways-
And your actions-
And deal with each other
….............” Jeremiah 7:6


YES-I have CHANGED my ways=
I have TURNED to the Lord


I PRAY to him daily=and PRAISE him=
And GIVE THANKS to him


The Lord has CHANGED
My life=from what was IMPOSSIBLE=
To WHAT IS POSSIBLE


PRAYER CHANGES LIVES
HOW has prayer CHANGED
Your life? What TESTIMONY
CAN YOU GIVE?


Or=HOW can it change your life?
TRY IT and see


In the name of GOD the Father-
And Jesus OUR LORD
