Sermon

Three things to pray for yourself:

  1. Pray to be blessed
    • Genesis 1:22
    • Luke 24:50-52: Jesus lifted His hands and blessed them so they could get over their sadness and extend His kingdom.
    • God is ready to bless: ask for it.
  2. Pray to prosper
    • Enlarging of provision is from God (not to be confused with the prosperity gospel)
    • Psalm 90
    • Proverbs: there is wealth that comes from God that He adds no sorrow to.
    • Isaiah 60:5
    • He is the God of more than enough.
    • Prospered by God to provide provision for the vision.
    • Are you able to be trusted with prosperity? If so, pray for it.
  3. Pray for protection
    • That Your hand will be on me and keep me from harm
    • The Lords hand is what guides us and keeps us from trouble.
    • John 17:15
