    What Happens When The Church Prays! Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 26, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,968 views

    One of the most amazing privileges of believers is access to God through prayer. We all face trials and tribulations but praying will help us overcome. Why? Because a praying saint can lay down in trouble and wake up to a miracle. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

    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. 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,473 views

    Conflict is fundamentally spiritual, not just interpersonal, founded in insecurity and elusive. But persistence in prayer will ultimately provide peace.

    When Jesus spoke of those who cry, “Peace, peace” when there is no peace, He must have foreseen the pain of the present time. Never before in human history, I would suspect, have more people felt less peace than now. Everywhere you turn there is the evidence of a generation which is deeply ...read more

He looked one way and the other way too - the Zoad had to make up his mind what to do. Well, the Zoad scratched his head, and his chin, and his pants. -- And he said to ...read more

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Aug 2, 2024
     | 901 views

    Prayer is a large topic that we cannot cover completely. The disciples knew Jesus as a praying man and they knew that John had taught his disciples to pray. “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1)

    Journey With Jesus: The Daily Trek of Discipleship The Disciple’s Prayer Life Introduction Sanders: “Prayer is an amazing paradox. It is a blending of simplicity and profundity. It can be an agony or an ecstasy. It can focus on a single objective, or it can roam the world. It is ‘the simplest form ...read more

    Courage moves us to risk ourselves for the sake of others or a higher cause. Faith and risk are inseparable.

    Philippians 1:20-27 “Humble Courage” INTRODUCTION Courage is not often connected with the Christian life.

But instead of using the 555 prefix that movie makers and TV shows generally give phone numbers – they gave God a 776 prefix. ...read more
