    Intercession for the lost does not guarantee salvation but it opens tremendous doors for those that we intercede for and the Lord is calling us to faithfully pray and follow that up with our testimony of love.

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

     | 3,058 views

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more
