3 Prayer Requests [Sermon Notes]
Pastor Prince
God is going to restore minds and brain. Whatever the name of the disease is, at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow. God has highly exalted Him. At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow.
God has given Jesus a name that is above every name.
Christ appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
Being saved is not about turning over new leaf. Morality is important. Morality and the excellence of it comes out as a fruit.

He is coming for us. This might be the year. When He comes for us, we have glorified body. A body that never face death again.
God exalted Him and raised Him from the dead. He did not sit down because He is God’s Son. He sat down at the virtue of the cross.
When you fail, remember the cross. Remember what He did.

Ministering at Troas
Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together. And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.

Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

”assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets. And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News. Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.“
Ephesians 3:2-9 NLT

All of Paul’s letters are for us.
Death in relationship – death has come in
