A Sanctuary for Saints and Sinners in Need of a Saviour. Luke 18:9-14
Overview of Prayer Meeting
Prayer Meeting - August 16th, 2026
Jesus is all I need. One of the many lies that satan throws at the minds of Christians and non-Christians alike is that, Jesus alone will never be enough. This is to cause them to stumble and doubt that Jesus truly is all we need.
The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:3-4 Amplified Bible says; “3 For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through [d]true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.”
It’s important to remember what the Apostle John says in 1 John 2:18-19, about the anti-Christ spirit that is presently in the world, it says;“18 Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us [seeming at first to be Christians], but they were not really of us [because they were not truly born again and spiritually transformed]; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out [teaching false doctrine], so that it would be clearly shown that none of them are of us. "
It’s the deceiver and liar, satan – the anti-Christ spirit, who says that Jesus alone isn’t enough. Remember the first temptation that came to Adam and Eve was satan tempting them to doubt what God had said, where it says in Genesis 3:1; “...Has God indeed said...?” Those lies and temptations have not changed. But, we can still confidently say as Jesus said when He was tempted by satan; “...it is written...”, (Matthew 4:4), submit to God, resist the devil and he must flee.
Today we’re going to go through some scripture verses from both the Old and New Testaments that prove that Jesus alone is enough for our lives and will bring comfort to your souls. Remember what Peter said above, [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, is in Jesus Christ. Everything for life. What do you need in life? Food, clothing, shelter, work, friendships, church, etc., everything means everything. What do you need for godliness? Merriam-Webster dictionary says that godliness is “the quality, state, or condition of being godly.” Only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will put you on the path of being and living godly.
Here are some areas where we can see that; Jesus alone is all I need.
Grace and Sustenance
We all need grace and sustenance don’t we. We’re concerned if our jobs will sustain us and our family, if we’ll have enough to pay the bills, food and education. God’s promises are real and will sustain us no matter what if we have faith to believe and trust in Jesus.
2 Corinthians 12:9 Amplified Bible; “but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.”
Philippians 4:19 Amplified Bible; “And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Hebrews 4:16 Amplified Bible; “Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”
Strength and Courage
Is Jesus all you need? The answer is ‘yes’! Even when you feel like you’re not able to stand in the battle or to courageously share your faith, we’re to take courage in the Lord.
Joshua 1:9; “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Isaiah 40:31; “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”
Romans 8:31; “ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Peace in Chaos
We’re living in chaotic times. We see Biblical prophecy being fulfilled all around us every day. The Apostle Paul warns Timothy about the last days Biblical events that will take place and it’s being spread out right before our eyes. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 says; “But know this, that in the last days [a]perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
But the word of God encourages us in the following scriptures;
John 16:33; “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Psalm 46:1-2; “God is our refuge and strength, A[a] very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the [b]midst of the sea;”
John 14:27; “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Guidance and Direction
Many Christians today are getting their guidance and direction from what they hear and see on the news and social media, swayed by everything said and done, even by other Christians. The Bible is enough and has the answer for everything, Jesus is enough to give guidance and direction in everything that goes on day to day in our lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6; “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall [a]direct your paths.”
Isaiah 30:21; “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.”
James 1:5; “ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
Love and Acceptance
These two words are at the pinnacle of today’s society. Satan’s temptation is to be a lover of self and we dare not correct anyone lest they be offended. It’s innate within us to be loved and accepted but we’ll never be able to fully love or be loved outside of the love of Christ.
Romans 5:8; “ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Ephesians 2:4-5; “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),”
John 13:34; “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
Hope and Assurance
Jesus is enough for hope and assurance. These scriptures point us to Him.
Romans 15:13; “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
1 Peter 1:3; “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”
Joy and Fulfillment
Outside of Jesus Christ and a personal relationship with Him there really isn’t true joy and fulfillment.
John 15:11; “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Galatians 5:22; “ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,”
Nehemiah 8:10; “Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Community and Fellowship
Church fellowship is under demonic attach. We’re admonished in the following scriptures, that as Christians, we don’t have an option not to disobey what Jesus has commanded. We need the gifts of the Holy Spirit at work in church, encouraging and edifying the body. We need to be able to look others in the eyes, listen to them and pray for one another. We know ‘on-line’ churches are the rage, but there is no one-on-one contact, no accountability and as quickly as one connects on-line, they disconnect. Find a local church that preaches and teaches the full Word of God, regardless of the size of it.
Hebrews 10:24-25;“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Acts 2:42; “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ [a]doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11;“Therefore [a]comfort each other and [b]edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
Today at church we prayed and took authority over the demonic lies, the anti-Christ spirit, that would say that Jesus isn’t enough. We prayed for truth to prevail and that Christians would not waver in their faith. We prayed for some people that we have been able to help out with groceries, sharing the gospel with them and giving them Bibles.
We were reminded of when the Israelite's wanted a King, they wanted to be like the rest of the nations around them, ungodly and heathen nations, as they weren’t satisfied with Almighty God being enough for them. Everything went contrary to what God had said that He would do for them and be for them. The Bible says that Samuel the prophet was grieved in his heart, but God encouraged him saying that Israel hadn’t rejected him, but God. (2 Samuel 8).
Jesus also says in John 15:18-25 that if the world hates you, the Christian, we’re to realize that they hated Him first.
We have to take courage and be comforted by the Holy Spirit in this, as we stand for righteousness in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, (Philippians 2:15).
Be comforted today as you read all the above scriptures, knowing, that Jesus Alone Is Enough.

Illustrated Message Overview of The Holy War
The Holy War – Satan, Unbelief and Self-will ~ The Prophets Greatest Enemies - Message 23 - July 26
2 Peter 3:9 Amplified Bible says; “9 The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
Self-will and unbelief in God are great enemies of the prophetic, whether it be prophesying God’s word, or prophesying in the Spirit by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, they are the greatest enemies. When you’re prophesying to unbelieving and self-willed individuals who are enemies of God, they are also enemies of the prophet. But the Lord is not slack with enemies of the cross, He doesn’t delay. He doesn’t interfere with their selfish will or selfish ambition, but let’s them decide freely. It doesn’t contradict His word because it says as we read that, The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient...”. It is a voluntary act on a persons part, God doesn’t interfere with that.

About
Richard and Marjorie McCue are the Founders and Pastors of Salvation Studio House. They give you insight in their ministry and work; past and present.
Vision
Our desire is to advance Christianity by teaching and preaching the religious tenants, doctrines, and observances associated with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Bible in both the Old and New Testament.
We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to be in operation according to I Corinthians 12.
What We Believe
- We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
- We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.
- We believe Jesus was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.
- We believe He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
- We believe in the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life.
- We believe that there is no other name or person but Jesus Christ, by which a person can be saved.
- We believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and with the evidence of speaking with new tongues.
- We believe not one soul should perish into eternity without Jesus, but that all should be saved.
- We believe in the Great Commission. "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover". Mark 16:15-18
- Acts 5:42; "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
- We believe that the doctrine of ‘eternal security’ or ‘once saved always saved’ is not true. Every Christian still has a free will to keep walking with Christ or to turn away. It’s what one does and how they live between being born again and dying that counts. It’s not how you start the race by becoming born again, but how you finish the race. We’re to run the race (the Christian life) with perseverance and not look back so that we cross the finish line victorious and win the prize (2 Timothy 4:7). Works of righteousness need to accompany our faith in Jesus Christ because faith without works is dead (James 2:20). God’s grace is made available to every Christian to resist temptations when they come as we know the devil is relentless in coming to rob, steal and destroy, ultimately to get them to back-slide (John 10:10).
Here are a number of Bible scriptures to back that up;
- Hebrews 6:4-6; “4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [a]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
- 2 Peter 2:20; “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.”
- 2 Corinthians 13:5; “ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you [a]are disqualified.”
- Luke 9:62; “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
- Matthew 7:21-23; “21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
