United Through Scripture

If we have been UNITED with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. Romans 6:5

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and UNITED in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ. Colossians 2:2

"That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be UNITED with his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Ephesians 5:31

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not UNITED by faith in those who heard. Hebrews 4:2

Brothers and sisters, I encourage all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to agree with each other and not to split into opposing groups. I want you to be UNITED in your understanding and opinions. 1 Corinthians 1:10

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, UNITED in spirit, intent on one purpose. Philippians 2:2

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may be UNITED with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3

If Jewish people do not continue in their unbelief, they will be UNITED back into the tree again, because God is able to do that. In spite of the fact that you have been cut from a wild olive tree, you have been UNITED onto a cultivated one. So wouldn't it be easier for these natural branches to be UNITED onto the olive tree they belong to? Brothers and sisters, I want you to understand this mystery so that you won't become arrogant. The minds of some Israelites have become closed until all of God's non-Jewish people are included. In this way Israel as a whole will be saved, as Scripture says, "The Savior will come from Zion. He will remove godlessness from Jacob.My promise to them will be fulfilled when I take away their sins." Romans 11:23-27

Prayer Scipture 17.0- "Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.’ “Then the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man’s boldnesse he will get up and give him as much as he needs" Luke 11:5-8

Prayer Quote: 17.0- "AN URGENT NEED: Here intercession has it's origin. The friend came at midnight, an untimely hour. There was hunger and he could not buy bread. If we are to learn to pray properly, we must open ours eyes and hearts to the needs around us. We often here of the millions of unsaved souls living in midnight darkness, perishing for lack of the BREAD OF LIFE-Jesus Christ. We also hear of the many nominal Christians who are almost as unenlightened and indifferent as those who are unsaved. We see millions in the Christian church who know little of a walk in the light of God or in the power of a life led by bread from heaven. We all have our own circles-- congregations, schools, friends, missions--in which the great complaint is that the light and life of God are too little known. Surely, if we believe what we profess--that God alone is able to help, that God certainly will help in answer to prayer--all these needs ought to make us intercessors, people who give their lives to prayer for those around them. Let us make time to consider these needs seriously, because people are in urgent need of the Bread of Life-Jesus Christ!"


Prayer Scripture 16.0: "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
Prayer Point 16.0: " We may not yet have attained that full devotion to which our Lord had trained his disciples, neither may we equal them in their power of prayer. We may, nevertheless, take courage in remembering that every new step we take in our Christian life toward the perfect branch life, and every surrender to live for others in intercession, will be met from above by a corresponding liberty to pray with greater boldness and to expect larger answers. The more we pray, and the more conscious we become of our unfitness to pray in power, the more we will be urged and helped to press on toward the key to power in prayer- a life abiding in Christ, entirely at His disposal."

Prayer Scripture 15.0- "What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to Him." Moses in Deuteronomy 4:7
Prayer Point 15.0- "The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer."

Prayer Scripture 14.0- "But everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved"
Prayer Point 14.0- "You can tell how popular a church is by who comes on Sunday morning. You can tell how popular the pastor or evangelist is by who comes to Sunday night. But you can tell how popular Jesus is by who comes to the prayer meeting."

Prayer Point 12.0- " You feel unworthy and unable to pray. To accept this heartily, and still be blessed in your unworthiness, is true humility. It proves its integrity by not seeking for anything but simply trusting God's grace; thus, it is the strength of a great faith and a full answer. "

Prayer Point 10.0- "The sin, or the consequence of sin, that makes it impossible for God to answer prayer immediately is a barrier on God's side as well as ours. To break through this power of sin in ourselves, or in those for whom we pray, is what makes the striving and the conflict of prayer such a reality. "

Prayer Scripture 9.0- “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

Prayer Point 4.0- “Jesus launched the Christian church, not while someone was preaching, but while people were praying. In the first two chapters of Acts as they were just sitting there…worshipping, communing with God, letting God shape them and cleanse their spirits and do those heart operations only the Holy Spirit can do…the church was born. The Holy Spirit was poured out.”
