【１ Samuel 7:8】

「So the children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."」 Amen. The ark of the Lord remained in Kiriath-jearim for twenty years. Then Samuel, the last judge, appeared and defeated the Philistines through prayer. That day, a great thunderclap roared over the Philistines. It was truly the work of God. Thus, having repelled the Philistines, they erected a stone at Eben-Ezer and offered thanks. Elijah's prayer brought down a great rain, and Samuel's prayer was answered by thunder from heaven.“James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” May we still pour out our hearts in prayer today... God bless you. See you next week.
