    Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. It sounded like he was having a private conversation ...read more

    The word of God is quick and powerful.. It is sharper than any two edged sword. The word of God is his will. When we pray the word of God, we pray his will for our lives.

    Prayer is the heart cry of man to God. It is believers communicating with thier father and getting a response from him. When we pray according to God's will, he answers and grants our petitions. When we however pray amiss we may not get what we desire. James 4 vs 3 says: "Ye ask and ...read more
