Prayer Wall 2/17/16

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!

"If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, If my people who are called by name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." ~ II Chronicles 7:13-14

“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name, ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’” ~ Jeremiah 33:2-3

We lift up our brothers & sisters & those yet to come that they may know He is present in their midst and hears their prayers.

Lift up where ISIS is controlling in places like Nigeria, Middle East and Algeria, etc.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!
