POWER WITH GOD!

Hosea 12:3

Power With God Because of Power in Prayer" is our
subject today. In the Book of Hosea, chapter 12, we
have a tremendous expression. Verse 3, "He had POWER
with God." There are worlds of people who want power
with men, physical power, intellectual power. But,

the street. Wherever you are, it is in the place of
PRAYER that you will find God, and with God you will
find POWER.

"He wept." He was dead in earnest.
"He made supplication." He ASKED God for something.

"AND HE FOUND HIM." Beloved friends, the greatest
thing we find is not God's protection, but God
