1. THE ACE testifies that THERE IS ONE GOD... and that GOD LOVES

PEOPLE...

2. THE DEUCE OR THE TWO tells us that the Bible is DIVIDED IN

TWO PARTS: THE OLD TESTAMENT and THE NEW TESTMENT...

The Bible is God's word to man... God's word does God's work...

THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT...

God loved us so much... God gave his only son ...

in the New Testament... MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN...

5. Now we come to the 5.

BE PREPARED, for in an hour we think not... JESUS IS COMING...

AND THE EARTH... IN SIX DAYS GOD CREATED EVERYTHING AND SAID:

7. The number 7 is God's special number... It is a prime number and is

only devisable by 1 and itself... There are 7 days in a week...

and GOD CHOSE TO WORSHIP AND KEEP THE DAY HOLY...

Then God rested...

8. 8 is a number near God's heart... David was the 8th son.

There were 8 steps going to the church. On the 8th day all males

were circumsized. 8 is the number to represent the RIGHTOEUS...

THERE WERE 8 SOULS SAVED IN NOAH'S ARK... He, his wife,

3 sons, and their wives... 8....

9. Jesus felt broken for a group of people very sick...

They had LEPROSY and they were unclean and isolated from

everyone... JESUS HEALED THEM... 9 RAN AWAY TO DO THEIR

RELIGIOUS DUTY AND REPORT TO THE PRIEST... 9 NEVER SAID

THANK YOU TO THE SON OF GOD... 9 RAN AWAY...

ONLY 1 WAS MADE WHOLE...

9, THE MAJORITY WERE NOT FAITHFUL...

10. GOD HAD 10 COMMANDMENTS, NOT 10 SUGGESTIONS...

GOD WROTE THE TEN COMMANDMENT IN A STONE TABLET...

MOSES BROKE ALL 10 COMMANDMENTS ON ONE DAY...

GOD WROTE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AGAIN AND THEY WERE

KEPT IN THE ARK OF THE COVANENT...

11. NOW WE COME TO A VERY IMPORTANT CARD... THE KING...

the great woman of the Bible...

the spies her SCARLET CORD...

The LADY that gave her ALABASTER BOX and anointed Jesus for

THE FIVE FINGER PRAYER ...

1) Your Thumb is nearest to youSo begin your prayers by praying

for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for

our loved ones is important.

2) The next finger is the Pointing Finger

The pointing finger reminds us of those who instruct so pray for those

who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers.

They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.

Keep them in your prayers.

3) The next finger is the Tallest Finger

Our tallest finger reminds us of those who are in charge.

Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry.

They need God’s guidance.

4) The fourth finger is our Ring Finger

The ring finger is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify.
