If I was to ask how many folks believe their prayers would be answered hopefully the same number would raise their hands. I mean really, if we don’t believe that ...read more

     | 6,329 views

    When we pray fervently, all our heart, soul, mind, and strength is focused on praying as the Spirit leads. We may fool ourselves with the other prayer keys, but not this one.

    Prayer Keys - Earnestness “Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” James 5:17-18 George Washington and Thomas ...read more

    Jesus often prayed privately. When he said, “Not my will, but thy will be done.” He did not get what he wanted, but he got what he needed. He had the strength to face what was to come. The time to choose submission is now. If we wait, we may not desire to

    “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 Our list of prayer keys uses Matthew 26:39 as the text for submission. I generally use the ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Sincerity Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Dec 15, 2011
     | 10,500 views

    Prayer keys are not ways of manipulating God. Rather, they are like a boat hook. If I am in a row boat and cast a hook to shore, does pulling move the shore to me or does it move me to the shore? Prayer keys do not pull God to our will. They pull us to Go

    “These people come near to me with their mouth & honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.” Isaiah 29:13 Before saying anything else to introduce sincerity as a prayer key, I want to repeat something about ...read more

    Death ends all opportunities to serve the Lord. Now is the time to use all what God has placed in your hand to serve Him and build yourself a mansion above. Now is the time to put your treasure where it will last.

    If you ask Christian which is their favorite book of the Bible the answer will vary from Genesis to Revelations. However, probably very few if any would say my favorite book of the Bible is Habakkuk.

    The reason they would not choose this book as their favorite is because they do not know that much about the book of Habakkuk. Let me share a few things with you about this precious book of the Bible and it might become your favorite. Let’s look at… I. THE BOOK Out of the sixty six books of ...read more

We are people who have to work in order to eat. We are the folks who live from paycheck to paycheck. Or if we ...read more
