    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,169 views

    Is there power in prayer or in the one that is prayed to?

    Many people think that prayer ‘works’ because there is ‘power’ in it, when in actuality the ‘power’ is found alone in the Creator God we pray to and who steps into every life circumstance to work it out for our best (Rom 8:28). Prayer is not some tool to move God or a weapon to use against the ...read more

    In a culture that wants to hear and tell lies and are obsessed with who has what and how much they have, this prayer is a breath of fresh air. Our culture is very self-centered but Agur's prayer is God-centered.

    Lessons From The Prayer of Agur Proverbs 30:7-9 Introduction: In recent years a lot of public attention has been focused on prayer. Our courts have banned prayer from public schools, public functions, and public display. And as we've seen in protest, regardless of opposition, it hasn't ...read more

    The Biblical woman of Hannah has much to teach us about prayer and trust in God. We learn to pound on the doors of heaven and that we can trust God to hear and answer us.

    There was something fundamentally wrong with her. There had to be. It was the only explanation for Hannah’s inability to carry a child. Her husband, Elkanah’s second wife was able to conceive and bear children, a fact that she made sure to rub in every chance she got. Therefore, it had to be ...read more

    "Mutual Prayer for Difficult Times" is an exposition of 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5. There is a powerful dynamic that works when pastor and people pray for one another, when saints pray for one another.

    God seeks ordinary people willing to pray and stand in the gap, using their faithfulness to bring hope, healing, and change to a broken world.

    Some of the greatest moments in the Bible begin with God looking for a person. Not a celebrity. Not a committee. A person. A shepherd with a sling. A teenage girl with a “yes.” A fisherman with a net. Heaven leans over the balcony and asks, “Who will stand? Who will say yes? Who will carry My heart ...read more
