Revelation 19:10 NLT
9 And the angel said to me, “Write
this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of The
Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”
10 Then I fell down at his feet to
worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant
of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about
their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy
is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”
Revelation 22:8,9 NLT
8 I, John, am the one who heard and
saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to
worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.

worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers
the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book.
Worship only God!”

Who should we pray to, Lord?
Matthew 6:6-9 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter
into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to
thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be
heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye
ask Him.
9 After this manner therefore
pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name.
Christian people
are not to pray to, she, they or it, but we are to pray to “Our
Father, which art in heaven.”
Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy
name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our
debts
As we forgive our
debtors
And lead us not
into temptation
But deliver us
From evil
For Thine is the
kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever
For Thine is the
kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever
Amen
