True prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalog of necessities, and a revelation of HIDDEN POVERTY. Although prayer appeals to and seeks the divine abundance found through Christ Jesus in Heaven, it is also an acknowledgment of human insufficiency and is a confession of human emptiness. God in His grace and mercy gives us the strength and power to pray through the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name! DONATE...

This is part two of the last episode. I didn't set out to write a second part, but this episode explains how it came about.

Just as the seven oil lamps on the Golden Lamp Stand in the Tabernacle of God needed the pure oil oil to burn and give light (Exodus 25:6), your soul needs the oil of God's grace if you are to shine brightly the grace of God to the world.
