Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 8, 2007

Sainthood is not some magic status, conferred by the church for merit or miracles; sainthood is ordinary people living in extraordinary faithfulness, making promises and keeping them. Did you ...read more

Five Keys To Answered Prayer

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2023

Effectiveness in prayer is more than a matter of volume. We pray in the context of our relationship with God. We learn to align ourselves with the will of God so that we are partnering with him rather than trying to persuade him. This message teaches how to pray in faith for results.

Intro In this message we will review five keys to answered prayer. When we make our requests to God, we are not just fulfilling a religious duty. We are interacting with our Heavenly Father concerning a perceived need. Our petition is not effective until we either get the answer or get counsel from ...read more
