    Answered Prayer

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Jun 19, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,675 views

    The lesson to be learned is not that we ought to be asking for signs but that we ought to be asking God for guidance and for success. In our prayers we ought to be appealing to the covenant relationship that he has made with our master, Jesus Christ.

    Genesis 24:1-14 Answer to Prayer 6/19/16 D. Marion Clark Introduction It is always interesting to hear how married couples met one another.

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

    Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015

     | 7,424 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

     | 21,327 views

    Nehemiah’s prayer shows us a very critical fact: Prayer is ALWAYS the right answer to what is going on in life. Whether you are facing a hardship, or a need for renewal, or asking for God's intervention -- prayer should always be our first response.

    Nehemiah’s Prayer Nehemiah 1:1-11; Deut 30:1-10 Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership, but also of obedience to God - Here is the critical thing to see this morning: prayer is always the right response -- Re: Lots of us will go through life acting and solving … ...read more

    What Is Prayer?

    Contributed by James Linders on Feb 2, 2016
     | 5,790 views

    Prayer is a conversation with God in His physical absence. We should ALWAYS TRUST God with our lives. The outcome of our prayer should NOT be based on our expectations and needs but on GOD'S will, immaterial of whether it is what we want.

    James 5:17-18 (ESV) "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit." To answer the question “What IS ...read more

    Childlike Prayer Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 28,676 views

    A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?

    I'd like you to recite the Lord’s Prayer with me: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, ...read more

     | 3,514 views

    Luke 18:1 says,......."men ought always to pray, and not to faint"

    The Life of Prayer One thing we know about Jesus and prayer is that He made prayer a priority. The Bible reveals how Jesus would sacrifice sleep or rest to spend time with the Father. He would pray before the sun came up; He would pray all night, even after ministering to people all day. That is a ...read more
