Solomon prays for the
temple, the nation and
the world.
1 Kings 8

3. 3
1 Kings 8:41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is
not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far
country for Thy Name's Sake; 42 (For they shall
hear of Thy Great Name, and of Thy Strong Hand,
and of Thy Stretched Out Arm;) when he shall
come and pray toward this house; 43 Hear Thou in
Heaven Thy dwelling place, and do according to all
that the stranger calleth to Thee for: that all people
of the earth may know Thy Name, to fear Thee, as
do Thy people Israel; and that they may know that
this house, which I have builded, is called by Thy
Name.

4. 4
The best witness
for The Lord is the
report of His
Mighty Acts.
42 (For they shall hear of Thy Great Name, and of
Thy Strong Hand, and of Thy Stretched Out Arm;)
41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy
people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for
Thy Name's Sake;
Tell what God has done.

5. 5
Galatians 6 9 And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do
good unto all men, especially unto them who are
of the household of faith.
When God’s people do good in His Name,
we evangelize.
When we tell others of the goodness of God,
we evangelize.

6. 6
Acts 1 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.
This is the last command Jesus gave to His
disciples before He ascended back to Heaven.
Still valid today.
Be a witness!

7. 7
1 Kings 8:44 If Thy people go out to battle against their
enemy, whithersoever Thou shalt send them, and
shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which
Thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have
built for Thy Name: 45 Then hear Thou in Heaven
their prayer and their supplication, and maintain
their cause.
Our enemy is not another person or another nation.

8. 8
Ephesians 6 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that
ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
Our enemy is the devil and his
hordes of demons that come
against our minds.
But he doesn’t always look like this.

10. 10
2 Corinthians 10 4 (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through God to the
pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down
imaginations (logismos – reasoning), and every
high thing that exalteth itself against the
Knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
The human mind is the devil’s battlefield, and he
builds strongholds in our mind.

11. 11
Whenever the devil or one of his minions can
persuade us to think contrary to God’s Word,
he has built a
stronghold in our
mind.FearDoubtlustMy

God says:

Word

13. 13
46 If they sin against Thee, (for there is no man that
sinneth not,) and Thou be angry with them, and
deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them
away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or
near; 47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the
land whither they were carried captives, and repent,
and make supplication unto Thee in the land of
them that carried them captives, saying, We have
sinned, and have done perversely, we have
committed wickedness;

14. 14
Bethink themselves
“Come to their senses”
And repent, confessing their sin as sin
And Turn back to God.

15. 15
48 And so return unto Thee with all their heart, and
with all their soul, in the land of their enemies,
which led them away captive, and pray unto Thee
toward their land, which Thou gavest unto their
fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the
house which I have built for Thy Name:

16. 16
49 Then hear Thou their prayer and their
supplication (plea; entreaty) in Heaven Thy
dwelling place, and maintain their cause, 50 And
forgive Thy people that have sinned against Thee,
and all their transgressions wherein they have
transgressed against Thee, and give them
compassion before them who carried them captive,
that they may have compassion on them:

17. 17
51 For they be Thy people, and Thine inheritance,
which Thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the
midst of the furnace of iron: 52 That Thine eyes may
be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and
unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to
hearken unto them in all that they call for unto Thee.
It’s never too late to repent, as long as we are
alive in this world.
God will hear and forgive.

18. 18
53 For Thou didst separate them from among all the
people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as Thou
spakest by the hand of Moses Thy servant, when
Thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord
GOD.
We are God’s Own people.
He loves us with undying love!
He saved us from sin and from hell.
God won’t quit on us now!
