    Right now the Holy Spirit is touching someone I can guarantee that! Why not take five minutes now to pray for someone you know who needs Jesus.

    I have been moved by the Lord to share some amazing ways that He has reached down and touched some people I know to win them into the Kingdom and to remind us all that it is he who calls us!

    The 2nd in a series of building revival. This concerns importance of persistent prayer - in a life and in a church.

    Thank you, Lesley, for addressing us on such an important and Godly topic as prayer. And I thank you for being open enough to the Lord to have Him lay this upon your heart, and then your loving Him enough to act upon it. Last week, I talked about our need to focus on church growth through revival ...read more

    Many Christians continue day after day in a much-depleted spiritual condition for the simple reason, they don’t know how to pray.

    Donald Trump published a New York Times bestseller entitled, "The Art of the Deal." In that book, he outlines strategies he developed in mastering the art of negotiation.

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,034 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

    Satan and his organized legions constantly work to obstruct God’s plan. As believers, our greatest weapon is prayer. We can expect our greatest opposition when we are on our knees. So we must be persistent–praying until the answer is received.

They were building a new sanctuary and it was almost finished. The new baptistry was functional even though changing rooms were not yet available. ...read more
