  sick

26
It is Needed
Ephesians 610-14 10   Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. 11   Put on the whole armour of God, that
ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil. 12   For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.13   Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14   Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness
27
It is Needed

the preparation of the gospel of peace
16   Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked. 17   And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God18   Praying always
with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints19   And for me,
that utterance may be given unto me, that I may
open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery
of the gospel,
28
It is Effective and Important
Revelation 83-5    And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden censer and
there was given unto him much incense, that he
should offer it with the prayers of all saints
upon the golden altar which was before the
throne. 4   And the smoke of the incense, which
came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up
before God out of the angel's hand. Your
prayers are so important that God saves EVERY
ONE OF THEM!

  on the LORD be of good courage, and he shall
  strengthen thine heart
