Now, if all hearts and minds are clear, I would like everyone to stand for a closing prayer. Please assume an attidue of prayer.

As we leave this place we take with us your word that we have heard.  That we may be doers of the word and not hearers only. We are thankful for this opportunity to receive your word from the mouth of your servants.  For faith commeth by hearing, and hearing the word of God. That we might be edified, that you might be glorified and that an alarm would be sounded.

Father, we pray that as we apply your word to our every day lives, that our faith might be increased.  For what saith the Word. Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God.  Then in another place it said, the vibrant prayers of a righteous man availeth much. 

Father, we know that as we believe you, you consider us righteous.  And because you consider us righteous, when we pray our prayers will avail much.  Thus we will get results. And as we get results we believe you for bigger things. That we would not remain baby Christians all the days of our lives, but rather be elevated to mature sons and daughters, of you our God. That someday we too might not waver at your promises.  For, we know that you are not a respecter of person, rather you are a respecter of faith.

Father, we pray that like your servant Abraham, you might see us as one of great faith. Thus, having promised him one child in his old age, you saw fit to bless him with eight.  For you said, that we are more than conquerors.  We don't just win but we stand out.  Even as you Jesus, did not just conquer death, but those who were dead, got up out of the grave and walked the earth again, to be seen by many.  Thus, making a mockery of death. 

For Lork you said that you have pleasure in the prosperity of your servants.  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He will give us the desires of our hearts. May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

As I lift up mine eyes, and I look up to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD. Thou art my help and my deliverer;

Grace and peace be with you until we meet again. Our confidence in this is that you said that you would never leave nor forsake us.  In Jesus name I pray for these and all things. Amen.
