    Can our prayers really change things? Is it possible to pray in a way that persuades God to act?

    Please open your Bibles to Exodus 32. We are in week three of a series on the power of prayer. We’ve adopted James 5:16 as our theme verse for the entire series— “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” So we’ve been talking each week about what makes prayer powerful. ...read more

    Praying A Promise Series

    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.”

    Discovering The Precious Promises Of God “Praying A Promise” I Samuel 1:9-18 4-24-2020AM We have in our text today a familiar passage that has been preached by many preachers. I am not here to top what they have said, but to bring out a truth that has been on my heart. The subject we are ...read more

    if we pray with an open heart, it will be heard and we will be forgiven

    Last week we heard about the persistent widow, who by constantly praying and badgering an unjust judge, got the justice she deserved. And we were reminded that because of God’s love for us we can pray for justice in our own lives and it will be delivered. Today we heard another scripture that ...read more

    A better way to pray in order to get to the root of th problem

    Praying in the Spirit Praying in the Spirit is important as well in our healing experience. Many times we do not know how to pray about something because we can’t really pinpoint the problem.

    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.

    WATCH AND PRAY “Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is ...read more

    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

    How we pray depends on our concept of God. God is personal, and knows us better than we know ourselves. Prayer brings us into harmony with God.

    INTRODUCTION When I was in college, I was required to take speech class. As a shy person, I dreaded it. It’s all about public speaking. Some would rather die than speak in public. To pass the class, we had to give a 5-minute speech to our classmates. Here are some pointers for giving a ...read more

    To conclude this study of the Beatitudes, the text in Matthew 5:3-10 is used as a TEMPLATE for prayer. Praying Scripture is a powerful way to apply truths to our own lives and reinforce our understanding of the passage.

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

    Pray Boldly!

    "Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

    “Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more
