    Prayer is more important than giving, because when we pray, we are moved to give. How can we face life's tests without prayer, our spiritual study? Life's tests are much harder.

Let us delve into Romans 12:1-12 to understand the importance of prayer. 1. Prayer vs. Giving: Which is more ...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.

    We talk about prayer, study about it and state how we should pray. But how many of us - practically speaking - have untapped the power of prayer?

    The Power of Prayer Theme: what makes prayer so powerful INTRODUCTION A. Satan knows… 1. If he can afflict the people of God… 2. Or somehow weaken their faith… 3.

     | 138 views

    Daniel’s declaration, “There is a God in Heaven”, remains a powerful truth today. No matter how impossible the situation, God still reigns, reveals secrets, and delivers His people. Like Daniel, we must trust God, pray fervently, and boldly declare His power to the world.

     | 1,930 views

    Stay alert and pray, so that you won't fall into temptation. Being alert enhances our prayers, as every enemy we identify pushes us to pray more fervently. Furthermore, being alert is a form of prayer. If we are truly alert, the act of watching itself becomes a prayer.

    In the Bible, Jesus instructs his disciples to "Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation" (Matthew 26:41, NIV). This command holds great significance for believers today. By understanding the importance of watching and praying, we can overcome temptation and live a victorious ...read more
