    Preparing For Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,290 views

    An overview of how to truly prepare yourself before you go to God in prayer.

    I have shared with a few of you the past few days or weeks that after the Bible study in the Book of Daniel I was thinking about explaining and giving detailed instructions on centering prayer. I haven’t done that in a number of years so I thought it would be good to discuss it this evening. I ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,434 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,174 views

    Disciplined prayer is a prayer method that began in the 4th century and is used to quiet the static in our mind, reduce the mental noise and improve the receptivity of our communication with God.

    Tonight we're going to take a look at yet another type of Prayer. This prayer is known as disciplined prayer. I know as we are looking at different types of Prayer you're going to hear a lot of repetition because as I said before, these techniques tend to overlap each other. But think of ...read more

     | 459 views

    “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” (PSALM 85:6).

    A PRAYER FOR MERCY. Psalm 85:1-7. The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (PSALM 85:1-3). We must learn to “count our blessings, name them one by one,” as the hymn writer exhorts us, to raise up our ‘Ebenezers,’ our “stones of help” as the word ...read more

    Prayers for Leaders The last few months the political world has been all over the place in America.

     | 334 views

    Prayer is an intimate conversation between the believer and God. It is not only about the words spoken but also the posture of our hearts and bodies. Throughout Scripture, different physical postures in prayer are shown, each reflecting an attitude of reverence, humility, and faith.

    Dimensions Of Prayer

    Contributed by Masimba Murisa on Apr 5, 2025
     | 185 views

    There are dimensions to prayer, levels that we can access or approach God through. We approach Him differently based on our needs and circumstances.

    1 The first dimension of prayer is to approach God as a Father (Romans 8:15) tells us that we have received the spirit of adoption, adopted into His Kingdom. Abba means endearing, loving always accepting, non-rejecting one. A father gives bread, provision for his children. He is always looking to ...read more
