(Spiritual ware fare- Eph 6:10NOT KNOWING ABOUT SPRITUAL WAR AND GETTING PREYED)

HITER ATTACK
As Hitlers appetite for power and territory grew, his army began to march
across Europe. In some cases, the fight could hardly be called a battle.
The German army advanced, with its tanks and with technologically
advanced weapons. In some of the underdeveloped nations, their armies
made a futile effort to resist Hitlers aggression, fighting back with spears
and even rocks. It was no contest at all, because these nations were not
equipped for the battle.

ON PRAYER
Silent prayer (prayer with no meaning)
A friend of mine took his small son with him to town one day to
run some errands. When lunch time arrived, the two of them went
to a familiar diner for a sandwich. The father sat down on one of
the stools at the counter and lifted the boy up to the seat beside
him. They ordered lunch, and when the waiter brought the food,
the father said, "Son, we'll just have a silent prayer." Dad got
through praying first and waited for the boy to finish his prayer,
but he just sat with his head bowed for an unusually long time.
When he finally looked up, his father asked him, "What in the
world were you praying about all that time?" With the innocence
and honesty of a child, he replied, "How do I know? It was a silent
prayer."

In prayer remember
When we pray, remember:
1. The love of God that wants the best for us.
2. The wisdom of God that knows what is best for us.
3. The power of God that can accomplish it.

No one can resist your prayer

"...Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise
our persons -- but they are helpless against our prayers."
Sidlow Baxter

Your answers for prayer begins before you ask.

Dr. Helen Roseveare, missionary to Zaire, told the following story.

"A mother at our mission station died after giving birth to a
premature baby. We tried to improvise an incubator to keep the
infant alive, but the only hot water bottle we had was beyond
repair. So we asked the children to pray for the baby and for her
sister. One of the girls responded. 'Dear God, please send a hot
water bottle today. Tomorrow will be too late because by then the
baby will be dead. And dear Lord, send a doll for the sister so she
won't feel so lonely.' That afternoon a large package arrived from
England. The children watched eagerly as we opened it. Much to
their surprise, under some clothing was a hot water bottle!
Immediately the girl who had prayed so earnestly started to dig
deeper, exclaiming, 'If God sent that, I'm sure He also sent a doll!'
And she was right! The heavenly Father knew in advance of that
child's sincere requests, and 5 months earlier He had led a ladies'
group to include both of those specific articles."

Pray and work

Pray as if everything depends on God, then work as if everything depends on you.
Martin Luther

Heating room
Five young college students were spending a Sunday in London,
so they went to hear the famed C.H. Spurgeon preach. While
waiting for the doors to open, the students were greeted by a
man who asked, "Gentlemen, let me show you around. Would you
like to see the heating plant of this church?" They were not
particularly interested, for it was a hot day in July. But they didn't
want to offend the stranger, so they consented. The young men
were taken down a stairway, a door was quietly opened, and their
guide whispered, "This is our heating plant." Surprised, the
students saw 700 people bowed in prayer, seeking a blessing on
the service that was soon to begin in the auditorium above. Softly
closing the door, the gentleman then introduced himself. It was
none other than Charles Spurgeon.

GRACE
God's mercy ... goes before the unwilling to make him willing; it
follows the willing to make his will effectual.

- Augustin
U will become a guest/child/love for god when u
began to repent
When Billy Graham was driving through a small southern town, he was stopped by
a policeman and charged with speeding. Graham admitted his quilt, but was told by
the officer that he would have to appear in court.
The judge asked, "Guilty, or not guilty?" When Graham pleaded guilty, the judge
replied, "That'll be ten dollars -- a dollar for every mile you went over the limit."
Suddenly the judge recognized the famous minister. "You have violated the law,"
he said. "The fine must be paid--but I am going to pay it for you." He took a ten
dollar bill from his own wallet, attached it to the ticket, and then took Graham out
and bought him a steak dinner! "That," said Billy Graham, "is how God treats
repentant sinners!"

Paid
A story is told about Fiorello LaGuardia, who, when he was mayor of New York
City during the worst days of the Great Depression and all of WWII, was called by
adoring New Yorkers 'the Little Flower' because he was only five foot four and
always wore a carnation in his lapel. He was a colorful character who used to ride
the New York City fire trucks, raid speakeasies with the police department, take
entire orphanages to baseball games, and whenever the New York newspapers were
on strike, he would go on the radio and read the Sunday funnies to the kids. One
bitterly cold night in January of 1935, the mayor turned up at a night court that
served the poorest ward of the city. LaGuardia dismissed the judge for the evening
and took over the bench himself.
Within a few minutes, a tattered old woman was brought before him, charged with
stealing a loaf of bread. She told LaGuardia that her daughter's husband had
deserted her, her daughter was sick, and her two grandchildren were starving. But

the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to drop the charges. "It's
a real bad neighborhood, your Honor." the man told the mayor. "She's got to be
punished to teach other people around here a lesson." LaGuardia sighed. He turned
to the woman and said "I've got to punish you. The law makes no exceptions--ten
dollars or ten days in jail." But even as he pronounced sentence, the mayor was
already reaching into his pocket. He extracted a bill and tossed it into his famous
sombrero saying: "Here is the ten dollar fine which I now remit; and furthermore I
am going to fine everyone in this courtroom fifty cents for living in a town where a
person has to steal bread so that her grandchildren can eat. Mr. Baliff, collect the
fines and give them to the defendant." So the following day the New York City
newspapers reported that $47.50 was turned over to a bewildered old lady who had
stolen a loaf of bread to feed her starving grandchildren, fifty cents of that amount
being contributed by the red-faced grocery store owner, while some seventy petty
criminals, people with traffic violations, and New York City policemen, each of
whom had just paid fifty cents for the privilege of doing so, gave the mayor a
standing ovation.

Ill. There once was a young man, back in the late 1,800 hundreds, who wanted to be a
telegraph operator and he went to apply for a job.
The applicants were so many that day and there was standing room only in the waiting area,
The interviewing was to have started earlier in the day and the man had been held up and
was late arriving,
Thinking his chances were slim to none with so many fighting for an opportunity, he sat down
still willing to wait for his turn.
He noticed, that all of the applicants were complaining about how it was taking to long and
didnt they know how hot it was in there.
About two minutes after arriving, he got up and went over and opened the door to the mans
office, who was going to do the interviewing,
Everyone there, thought who does that guy think he is?
Paying all of them no attention, he walked through the door and closed it and as soon as he
did, the gentlemen inside said, what do you want?

And the young man said, there was a message that i heard in the waiting area,
and it told me to come in here, that I had the job if I wanted it.
Welcome, Ive been expecting you, you've got the job.
He went on to tell him, that the whole day, the time everyone had been waiting in that
waiting room, a telegraph had been taping out the message he had heard repeatedly;
if you want the job, come into my office youve got the job
TBS. to him who has ears, let him hear! Have you heard that one before?
