A partial set of notes and Scriptures used:

Last week I spoke about  Judgment Day. ... it is now upon us in the Church.

The Law and the Prophets should be our guide. IT is not about a miracle but DOING THE RIGHT THING.  Sometimes it means STEPPING OUT IN FAITH... as Peter did stepping onto the water.

Esther stepped out in faith and prevailed and saved her people.

Daniel continued his prayers as always. 

THE OUTCOME of the decisions we make via prayers, can lead to various endings as we see in the Scriptures.

SO HOW do we obtain THE COURAGE in life to do the right things when every fiber of our being says NO !!!
