    Doors: Open Or Closed

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017
    based on 2 ratings

    The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

    The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

    The vision and prayer of Jabez provides inspiration for the local congregation

    When we lived in Japan, we often rode the trains. Just outside the train window we could see houses very close to the tracks as we whizzed past. Then as we slowed for a stop we were able to see, for a moment, people going about their daily activities: kids playing, housewives hanging up wash, or ...read more

    What is supplication and what is the proper way to do it?

    Supplication We now come to the last letter of our acronym - ACTS. We are at Supplication. Dr. John R. Rice wrote a fairly thick book basically saying that prayer is asking or what we think of as supplication. I agree with this premise. However, in study for this message I found it interesting ...read more

    If we just want good things to happen then don’t pray. But if we want GOD things to happen pray with boldness, passion and expectancy.

    INTRODUCTION I’ve said on the front cover of this weeks bulletin that prayer is the highest use of the gift of speech. Words are a powerful tool. For example apparently for every word in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, 125 people lost their lives in World War 2 (W. Wiersbe "Be Complete" p135). So words ...read more

    God will one day measure our prayer life and the impact our prayers had on eternity. I give my permission for this sermon to be used in its fullest without any credit and that God receive all the glory.

    Would you like to pray more? Better? Deeper? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray sincerely, secretly, simply and securely.

    This is a short study on John 15:4-8 that I used for a Wednesday night devotion. Prayer is the main theme.

    The Two Sides Of Prayer

     | 4,822 views

    . Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. –Author unknown.

    The Two Sides of Prayer By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Oftentimes prayer is the most neglected area in a person’s life. The lack of prayer has weakened our spiritual body and because of this we often find ourselves spiritually feeble, without strength and even the crumbling of our ...read more

    King David takes us to the heart of prayer. David shows us a repentant heart, a trusting heart, and a longing heart.

    When we ask God "why" He doesn’t always give us a seemingly direct answer or any answer at all. Why does God do that? This text addresses the deep no answers of God.

    September 18, 2006 Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

    I have prayed and prayed about this matter, but I don’t seem to get anywhere. Doesn’t God hear? If He is listening, why doesn’t He help? Why doesn’t He answer my prayers? Many people often find themselves in that situation.
