     | 21,475 views

    The prayer that moves God is one that seeks to honour His Name, fulfils His promises and bless His people.

    Can you move God? Can you move God to do something? • If your answer is no, then prayer makes no sense to you. It will not change a thing. It is pointless to pray. • Yet God expects man to pray. Jesus calls us to pray. The Bible says we do not have because we did not ...read more

    The key to Daniel’s success was that he was a man of the Word and a man of persistant prayer

    DANIEL – A man of prayer The book of the prophet Daniel isn’t a book that we read very often.

    Sinner’s Prayer

    Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,215 views

    This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

    "What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap. It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation.

    James 5 has a lot to say about the rich and the proper response to abuse by those who are powerful. His wise words are clear and firm, making the path of faith obvious. He pulls no punches.

    Prosperity, Patience and Prayer: this is the outline for James 5. 1. Prosperity: 5:1-6 This is a prophetic oracle against the rich oppressors. Wow! Does that page in your Bible smell a bit like smoke? Here James steps into prophetic mode and writes with an imprecatory imagination of doom and ...read more

    What kind of things in our life can get in the way of us praying like we should as Christians. This sermon gives a few of those things.

    If someone is listening to your prayers, and they were making a judgment about your relationship with the Lord solely on your prayers, how strong of a relationship with the Lord will those who hear you pray say that you have? Will they say that it looks like you know the Lord, and that His will is ...read more
