I mean no disrespect to Charlene ( I believe that is her name--the lady whose vision is failing), but---I must say something about this Jabez prayer. I have grow weary of this abuse of this verse and how it is misapply. Bruce Wilkerson has done God's word a great diservice by misapplying this verse. Well I guess I had better quit writing before I write something I shouldn't.Jeff "sbcglobal.net" <intercessortx@...> wrote:Father, in accordance with Your Word, that by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, we are to let our requests be known unto You, we offer this prayer, as the desire of our hearts, on behalf of your Family here. It is the same prayer offered long ago, by Your servant Jabez. We ask that you bless us indeed, according to Your Word, exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. And we ask this because we understand why You bestow blessings in the first place; So that we might have the awesome privilege, through those blessings, to bless others. We ask that indeed You would enlarge our territory, by adding to our Family those from other parts of the world, not yet represented here. May we truly grow to reach all parts of the world, with the Good News of Jesus! May Your Hand be with us, and not only with us, but also on us, and around us, and may You hold us in the palm of Your Hand, as we labor in service You. May a special anointing flow through Your Hand to strengthen and encourage us, and empower and embolden us to effectively carry out the task assigned us by our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask that You keep us from evil; that you would protect us from satan and every evil spirit and demon under his authority, and from any and everything that would grieve us thereby causing us pain, which would result in the prevention our being a blessing to others. Grant us this request, as You did grant the request of Jabez, in accordance with Your Word, and in the Precious Name of Jesus, in whose Sweet Name we always pray. Amen. May God bless you forever!
