SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER WITH PASTOR WAYNE COCKRELL

Almighty God and our eternal Father, this morning once again as a people who are called by Your name we gather in this place in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We offer up thanks, right up front, for the great love with which You have loved us. Even when we were the most unlovely Your love reached down into the depths of our darkness and by Your marvelous grace You have awakened us from darkness to light.  As people today who have the life of Jesus in us, we pray that the Holy Spirit will once again do that mighty work of sanctifying our hearts through the Word. We have been made more and more this day to look different than what we used to be. Those things that are residing deep in our hearts would be challenged. The secret ambitions, the secret thoughts, those things that are in us that raise up against the knowledge of Christ,  may the Word once again tear them down so that our reasoning, our spiritual reasoning, will be based upon Your Word, and not based upon the limited, fleshly inclinations that sometimes rule us.  We pray Your favor upon this servant that once again Father, that through the power of the Spirit that You may use me to speak in accordance to Your Word and when it’s all said and done, we will be careful to give You all the praise and give You all the honor and all the glory for we ask it, this day, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen and amen!
