    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,325 views

    Too often we let things keep us from one of the most important things - prayer - and we need to make prayer a priority.

    “Prayer -- a GOTTA, Not an OUGHTA” -- James 5:13-16, John 17 January 9, 2005 I was looking at a past issue of Pray Magazine, a great magazine that is about, in the editors’ words, “encouraging a passion for Christ through prayer.” As I perused some of the articles I ...read more

    Where do you see yourself in this picture? Are you being pelted by unfair criticism as you are serving Christ? If so, keep on going and God will reward your efforts. Or do you recognize yourself as one who tends to be critical of others? If so, it’s time

    What is on Jesus’ heart when he prays for himself, and for you? How could this change your prayers?

Many times what we really mean is “I’d like to pray for you, lifting you up to the Father, but in reality I’m going to ...read more

    The Stirring At Bethesda

     | 18,231 views

    We see the lame man waiting on & trying to sense the supernatural. He desires to yield to God and is expecting the miraculous. God answered his faith & healed him. Do we have that kind of open attitude toward the supernatural?

    The prayer that moves God is one that seeks to honour His Name, fulfils His promises and bless His people.

    Can you move God? Can you move God to do something? • If your answer is no, then prayer makes no sense to you. It will not change a thing. It is pointless to pray. • Yet God expects man to pray. Jesus calls us to pray. The Bible says we do not have because we did not ...read more

    Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

    The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more
