    Praying Through A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 2, 2021
     | 6,806 views

    The church ought to pray with great expectation because (1) God sees our trials, (2) God hears our prayers (3) and God will take care of our enemies.

    Acts 12:5 “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” The graphic scene of Acts 12 is not strange to the Church. The church has always faced opposition. Since its inception, the devil has been trying to stop the church and even to ...read more

    Of all the disciplines of the Christian walk, perhaps the most important, the least practiced and the least understood is prayer. Prayer is absolutely key in or success as children of God—both in the way we overcome the devil in battles we face.

    Intro: Chorus: ”God answers prayer in the morning, God answers prayer at noon, God answers prayer in the evening, so keep your heart in tune. Of all the disciplines of the Christian walk, perhaps the most important, the least practiced and the least understood is prayer. Prayer is absolutely key ...read more

    To live effective lives as Jesus’ disciples we need to pray.

    I’ve preached on prayer many times and I’ve tried to do it in such a way that you will be able to easily remember how to pray and to be motivated to pray. Yet I don’t think we are taking full advantage of this most powerful and useful resource we have as Christians. So, I am beginning a four week ...read more

    Praying has to be persistent to be effective.

    Luke 18:1-8 KJV And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine ...read more

    Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly.

    This is one of the very vast subjects in the Bible. To sum it up in 30-40 mins. is like an injustice to the topic. Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly. What was the ...read more

    I need to get busy developing my prayer team. Those two or three people that I can share my prayer concerns with and know that they have my back and I have their back.

    Introduction The Bible tells us that we are to give all our problems to God. Small problems, medium size problems, and those horribly large problems we face are to be turned over to God. 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. But the truth is, we think many ...read more

    Our thanks and praise takes many forms, but is most effective when we have a penitent heart.

    Open your Bibles or the Pew Bible to Psalm 66. As we have over the last couple of weeks, I’d love for you to be able to look at that while we are walking through these last several verses. Throughout this Psalm we have seen an example of worship and witness acting as a sort of call and response. ...read more

    If we understand the different types, slants, and hues of prayer — and we incorporate them when appropriate — our prayer times will be more varied, more interesting, and more effective.

    Listen to what Bill Gates said about being there and staying focused, “Only through focus can you do world-class things, no matter how capable you are.”

    30 Days to Live- the Art Of Being There Acts 16:16-34NLT Sometimes you’ve got to zoom out and look at the big picture.

    Sometimes we feel like God is too busy for us. Jesus teaches us that He is concerned with each one of us and He takes the time we need.

    1. I like the story of a receptionist at a busy dental office who said that they had a patient who was always late for his dental work. She called him to confirm an appointment and he said, “I’m very busy so I’ll probably be about 15 minutes late. That won’t be a problem, will it?” She responded, ...read more
