SILICON VALLEY ALLIANCE CHURCH

Prayer List (11/07/2012)

Scripture Reading: Matthew 11:20~28

The one concern of the Devil is to keep Christians from Praying.  He fears nothing from a prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion.  He laugs at our toils, mocks at our wisdom but trembles when we pray!

魔鬼首要關注就是要阻止基督徒禱告.牠無懼於那無禱告的研讀,那無禱告的事工,那無禱告的信仰.牠嘲笑我們的辛勞,牠恥笑我們的智慧,但牠卻在我們的禱告前顫抖.
