prayer for our soldiers
Deborah-Leigh:
I appreciate your insight Phil 3:10
I agree with your point that we can do nothing good or worthy or fruitful without the Spirit of Christ, or of our selves.
I believe we need know what to pray for, and how, and for who ~ not to leave any to our scorn or rejection. Christ died for all, once and for all.
Thy Will be done, is the wonderful statement of Truth and example of prayer left to us by our Lord and is expounded in the edifications of Praying by God's Rules L Ray Smith. There in are some very valuable insights and wisdom of God. 8)
I enjoy the prayers of our Brother Paul
Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Th 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
Heb 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
And a most beautiful prayer that I treasure, is this one ! 8) 8) 8)
Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Eph 3:16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Eph 3:20 Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Eph 3:21 Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Phil3:10:
Arcturus,
Thanks for your quick reply. I did spend the interim re-reading and making a copy of Ray's paper on Praying By God's Rules and have had a most worshipful experience today. Thanks for taking me to Ephesians 14 through 21 and the beauty and truth therein. Oh, to know the love of CHRIST and to be filled with all the fulness of GOD! It is only by GOD'S spirit that we can find these wonderful treasures and to fully trust that HIS will will be done. CHRIST and GOD are one in spirit and it is only in seeking a growing and abiding relationship with THEIR SPIRIT that we can understand THEIR perfect truths. THEIR power is without end and we can have it working within us through THEIR HOLY SPIRIT. Thanks be to the one Spirit waiting until we come to be that perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST.
In HIM,
Phil3:10
judith collier:
Hi Arc, looked up all that brotherly love stuff. While I do naturally love the brethren I also have a general liking for people. And while I do not agree with things carnally speaking I have a soft spot for sinners, I feel very sad for them and usually extend kindness. Having received mercy it is difficult to pick and choose just certain people.
And since I know God's will is for all mankind to be saved I pray for everybody to be saved. It is hard for me to think some poor souls will have to wait until judgement. I did quit trying to keep God on my time schedule though. (some progress) And to how this is to happen also. (more progress)
I am rather picky about certain areas of sin (funny) and my expectations are rather high. I know also God is not like this. This is a matter of patience with me. Anyway thanks, as I did not know we were to love the brethren first and most. Makes sense.

Well said, Zee.
Even if He did not say any recorded prayers explicitly for them, he ministered to some and died for all. Every man is required to give account for himself, be he Gandhi or Hitler or a poster on a web-forum.
