    Without prayer and watchfulness, the divine armour we are provided is rendered ineffective.

    Put on the whole armour of God, “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the ...read more

    The Church Of Sardis: A Fellowship Taken Off Life Support (Revelation 3:1-6)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 1, 2024
     | 830 views

    The church at Sardis received not words of commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead, rebuke and condemnation as well a warning to wake up and strengthen what remains of its effectiveness, testimony, and purpose. Does this describe the church you attend?

    The fifth church mentioned in Revelation 2-3 was located in the city of Sardis, fifty miles east of Smyrna and thirty miles southeast of Thyatira. Like the other churches, it was located in western Asia Minor, now known as the nation of Turkey. Sardis was on the major commercial and trade ...read more

    There are some characteristics of even those who are Christians that will cause the Spirit of God within to be ineffective.

    DEAD FLIES IN THE OINTMENT By Rev. James May Ecclesiates 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.

    What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014
     | 8,110 views

    The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

    One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more

    If a Christian is weak and ineffective, or victorious and powerful – it's tied to the issue of understanding and wearying the armor.

    “Battle Lines” – Part Two Eph. 6:10-20 OPEN: Here’s my dilemma - I find myself in kind of an awkward place in my teaching schedule. Here it is a couple of weeks before Christmas and I’m still in Ephesians and I’m talking about spiritual ...read more

    Bitterness can cause the most devout Christian to become ineffective, don't be bitter,,,,be BETTER

    Bitterness is known in the Bible as spiritual poison and a means by which many are defiled (Hebrews 12:15). It is the source of countless spiritual and physical problems in millions of lives today. The Bible tells us that MANY are defiled by the means of bitterness. Bitterness can be tricky to ...read more

    Effectual Fervent Prayer

    Our prayers are often ineffective. Scripture reveals principles of effective prayer, principles we will want to observe.

    A movie by the title of The In-Laws came out in 1979. There was a re-make of it in 2003, but my favorite version is still the original one. It featured Alan Arkin as a conventional dentist and Peter Falk as a manic character who claims to be a government agent. Their kids are about to be married, ...read more

    If punishment and discipline of a nation is ineffective, God will cause a nation to enter into captivity. Look at the nation of Judah and their captivity.

    In our previous study, we ended with Jehoiakim being King of Judah and Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem. 2 Kings 24:1. 24 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. Secular history calls this king ...read more

    WE can put our focus in the wrong place and come out looking silly and being ineffective for our Lord.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • AS we continue looking at some of the things that can ensnare us as we strive to life for Jesus, we are going to look at a subject that can really creep into our lives over a long period of time. • I think this is one of the traps that can slowly take hold of us if we are ...read more

    This sermon on prayer answers two basic questions: "How can I be effective in prayer?" and "What hinders prayer and makes it ineffective?"

    Sanctifying Grace --I Thessalonians 5:22-24 This dirty glass represents each one of us as a sinner separated from God. Washing the glass makes it clean; that’s Justifying Grace, what the Holy Spirit does in my live the moment I say “yes” to God’s offer of forgiveness and a personal relationship ...read more

    In lockup we may become useless to society, ineffective and unable to make a contribution but God is remolding and refashioning us into something different.

    Have you ever prayed "Lord make me more like Jesus?" Have you ever thought of the significance and ramification of such a prayer? Are you ready to take the journey that the answer to such a prayer will take you on? THE PRISONER OF THE LORD: PAUL Paul wrote the letters to the Colossians, Philemon, ...read more
