    Prayer is our primary means of seeing God work in others’ lives. Because it is our means of “plugging into” God’s power, it is our means of defeating Satan and his army that we are powerless to overcome by ourselves. Therefore, may God find us often befor

    Opening illustration: Three ministers were talking about prayer in general and the appropriate and effective positions for prayer.

To pass the class, we had to give a 5-minute speech to our classmates. Here are some pointers for giving a ...read more

    Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation. Watching excites prayer, for every enemy we see will move us to pray more earnestly. Moreover, watching is prayer. If there be true watching, the watching itself is prayer.

    Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly.

    This is one of the very vast subjects in the Bible. To sum it up in 30-40 mins. is like an injustice to the topic. Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly. What was the ...read more

    Prayer that Works takes work, along with persistence, risk, and righteousness before God. In this sermon, we're going to try to close the gap between what we say about prayer and what we practice.

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well.

    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

    The subject we are looking at is not the miracle that God performed with Hannah and her husband Elkanah, nor is it about the maltreatment from another family member that led to bitterness. Both would be great subjects. Today I would like to look at the subject of “Praying A Promise.”
