The Principles Of Powerful Prayer Series

Contributed by W F on Oct 31, 2004

If we just want good things to happen then don’t pray. But if we want GOD things to happen pray with boldness, passion and expectancy.

INTRODUCTION I’ve said on the front cover of this weeks bulletin that prayer is the highest use of the gift of speech. Words are a powerful tool. For example apparently for every word in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, 125 people lost their lives in World War 2 (W. Wiersbe "Be Complete" p135). So words ...read more

Prayer Keys - Fasting Series

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Oct 22, 2011

Legalistic fasting is not a prayer key. It is just going hungry. Spiritual awareness that prompts us to pray may also prompt us to fast. May God make us more spiritually aware. May his spirit prompt us to pray, even to the point of forgetting to eat.

However, in study for this message I found it interesting ...read more

Explained: Ineffectiveness In Prayer.

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 18, 2022

Why then are we hindered in our prayer life? Because we lack the understanding of what we are up against when we pray. Hence, a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. And a powerful believer is a prayerful believer. Prayer can be vocalized, or said silent, and with tears.

Many songs have been written over the years that encourages a believer to pray. I remember fondly one of the songs I learned in my early days when I was converted to the faith. The song was titled "Prayer is the key". I memorized the song out of my love and joy for singing church hymnals. ...read more
