    Sermon National Day Of Prayer, When The Church Prays

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 10, 2024
     | 1,328 views

    No amount of preaching, teaching, singing, music, or activity will bring forth the genuine power and presence of the Holy Spirit like the fervent prayers of the righteous. Prayer changes things! When we work, we work; when we pray, God works!

    Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more

    What Christians are supposed to do when they face a problem and what some might do are two separate issues. How Christians handle themselves can either have a positive or a negative effect on others.

    In our text today this is a conditional promise.

    Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more

Brian Bill 11/7/10 Ravi Zacharias tells the story about one-time heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali: “Ali was flying to one of his engagements and during the flight the aircraft ran into foul weather.
