1Tim2:1-2 (ESV) First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, & thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings & all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful & quiet life, godly & dignified in every way. — Do you ever wonder what your purpose is? Could it be prayer, intercession, supplication & thanksgiving? Prayer is a solemn or earnest request of God. Intercession is the action of intervening on behalf of another. Supplication is the action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly. & Thanksgiving is the expression of gratitude, especially to God. The Bible tells us that if we will draw near to God, then He will draw near to us! — Matt 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as TOUCHING any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. — Touch means to come into, be in contact with or handle in order to manipulate, alter, or otherwise affect. We must ask as if to take possession of the request with full expectation that we will receive, having all knowledge that it is the will of God. We must touch the hem of His garment to receive the full power of His might! There is purpose here! Pray without ceasing! Love Mel
