Roman 16 versus 25 through 27.

Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ,

according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages, but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings

has been made known to all nations according to the command of the eternal God

to bring about the obedience of faith to the only wise God be glory forever more through Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Let's pray together. Father, we love your word. We want to continually lay it up in our heart as well as understand

it with our minds and believe it in our hearts, embrace it with all our affections.

And so would you come and help me to understand it and help me to speak it with accuracy and guard me from error and

grant me a special anointing so that my words are heard as your words where they can form with the

scriptures and would you not let your word come back empty?

What would you cause it to perform saving work

and strengthening work and purifying work

and reconciling work and

and emboldening work and humbling work and humbling work and encouraging work and healing work

and more than I can even ask or dream. This is your word and we're thankful

for it. We reverence it because we reverence you more.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

My focus. Amen.
