    The true and false audience and content of prayer

Those that trash talk before a fight, putting down their opponent, are not the ones that I see praying. But the fighters who ...read more

    The vital place of prayer in spiritual warfare.

    READ: Ephesians 6:10-20 (Text: v18) Ephesians chapters 4-6 are all about “Spiritual Warfare”. It seems unfortunate to me that these days, because of the influence of popular books and seminars on the subject of “Spiritual Warfare”, the term has become loaded with a fairly narrow meaning. I know ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,624 views

    The prayer of Jabez has been used by many people over the centuries to seek a special blessing from God. To pray like Jabez, it's important for us to surrender our lives to God, trusting Him with everything we have, so that He can leave His mark through us for future generations.

    SCRIPTURE REFERENCES (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) (9) “And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.” (10) “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, ...read more

    What is it that keeps us from praying? What is it that has made prayer into a drudgery, a joyless discipline that fills us with guilt? It doesn’t have to be that way at all.

    It’s strange that every time someone announces, like we have in the bulletin and up on the overhead and in the announcements, that we’re going to talk about prayer, we all get a little uncomfortable.
