    God calls us into action; to move when He speaks to us. Moses experienced this same issue and God is asking, "Why are you still crying out to me?"

    Learning to pray for results

    THE PROCESS OF PRAYER Luke 11:5-10 Have you ever wondered why God wants us to “pray without ceasing?” Why is it that Jesus spent such extended times in prayer, often praying alone all night before making major decisions.

    God loves us and wants to give us good gifts, but He is restrained by our lack of obedience and service.

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,595 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    I first put this Lenten address together in 2008, and when the Vicar's wife said she found it good and thought it should go on "Sermoncentral" - so who was I to disagree. I offer this series as a help and it is based on Richard Foster's excellent book Prayer

    Introduction. This series on Prayer is based on Richard Foster’s BRILLIANT book simply called "Prayer". If you want to study Prayer seriously it is a book you must read.

    Learn to persevere in prayer - "pull" by the hope we have in Christ, and keep up the "push" in faith.

    How do you normally approach God? Do we come to Him with determination and passion? Or as someone whom we turn to only when it’s convenient? To drop Him a line only when we can? The way we approach Him reveals a lot about ourselves – do I really need Him? How much do I really depend on Him? Do ...read more

    The children of God that see and hear, hold visions in their hearts know of the angels' presence and know of the spiritual realm---what happens in the spirit and WAIT for the manifestation here on earth as we wait for the harvest of God.

    Not all prayer is effective, but private prayer is rewarded.

    SELECT A PLACE FOR PRIVATE PRAYER. Everyone needs a place to be alone with God. As long as we don’t have a place, we won’t be able to maintain private prayer. Jesus gave us the example of private prayer. Where ever he was, he always found a place to be alone with God. (Matthew 12:23; Mark ...read more

    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
