    It is interesting to listen to prayers. Each person has his own unique way of praying.

    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

    Let us daily call on God, let us continually approach God’s throne of mercy to access the wonderful privileges, benefits and blessings that are found in the place of prayer.

    To understand the meaning of the phrase ‘Watch and Pray’, let us look at Matthew 26:36-46 where Jesus used this phrase. In the context of this scripture, in this situation where Jesus instructed His disciples to ‘Watch and Pray’, what He meant was: • Stay awake and pray with me. • Don’t sleep, be ...read more

    I was invited to participate in a PRAYER GATHERING FOR UKRAINE on 2/27/22. People from various Slavic East European countries as well as others gathered for prayer. This was a very significant time to address the war in the heavenlies regarding Ukraine.

    UKRAINE - a wake up call to the world WAR IS HELL - War may not actually be Hell, but it sure looks and feels like Hell to those who are going through it. War is hellish, deadly and destructive with much pain and suffering. In war no one really wins. Everyone pays a very high price. The carnage, ...read more

    Why Pray? Series

     | 751 views

    Many people question the purpose and effectiveness of prayer. Often, prayers not answer in the method we would prefer, or in the time frame we would like, are mistaken as unanswered prayers. In this message, I attempt to give a biblical response to the question, "Why Pray?".

    Biblical Answers to Life’s Tough Questions: Why Pray? Phil 4:6-7 People have asked the question before, “What is the point in prayer?”. Their argument is that, if by praying we can change God’s mind, then He isn’t sovereign. If he doesn’t change His mind, then He is superfluous. Many people ...read more
