Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

Especially…🤔
It says "anywhere" for men.

…It seems to mean "in a church service,"
but…it encourages praying "raising up your holy hands" everywhere: at home, at work (discreetly, of course😅).
…Also…what does "raising up your holy hands" mean?🤔

It means holiness before God…praying after repentance🛐.
Because,
John 9:31
…"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but to those who honor him and do his will."
…
It says…
Repentance before praying is important❗️.
…God is pleased with that humble prayer.
...When anger wells up inside you,

immediately raise your hands ✋
Repent

And when you make it a habit to pray,

I believe many prayers will be heard.

Shalom 😃
