Prayer: Spirit, Soul & Body

The Scriptures teach that the god of this world has blinded the mind of the unbeliever. Nobody has ever been reborn without Spirit-inspired prayer. If we don't put ourselves in a place to pray for the people around us, then how will they come to Christ? All the radio programs, services, preaching and reasoned arguments will fail. For so long we have used prayer to prop up so-called ministry in America. Whatever we do, we want prayer for that thing. But it should be the other way around, for prayer is the purpose, as well as the means. We pray to pass tests, pay bills and to gain sermons, but seldomn to we pray to pray. It is time to change. Prayer is the most important channel; One paid for in Blood. We MUST return to seeking God so He can give us the passion and power to pray so God can confront the lost Himself. We are His legal entrance into this fallen world. We are conduits of Him. Our disobedience to the command to seek God costs lives.

The pride of public ministry has been a foundation for too many. At some point it consumes" *** "There is a difference between worshipping the idea that we worship God and actually worshipping God." *** "Why do we want to see prayer back in the schools, when it is no longer in our homes or churches?" *** "Corporate prayer around the Throne must return the center of church life if there is to be any hope for the masses." *** "Corporate prayer produces effective preaching, not preaching produces corporate prayer." *** "If we are so in the know, why do we no longer gather together to seek God, navigate through our haughty hearts to get a glimpse of God's heart and then pray in the lost?" *** "Christianity is not an enterprise, venture for self-discovery or political or civic organization. It is a Blood-bought fellowship of prayer focused on One." *** "Prayer-based friendships are the only ones that last." *** "Prayer-bathed friendships are not incidental to ministry, they are foundational." *** "Prayer is not a ministry of the Holy Spirit. It is the ministry" *** "It's one thing to tell somebody what we believe about Jesus, it's quite another to be able to introduce someone to our Best Friend." *** "We are more like Martha than Mary; More like Christian activists, than people of prayer." *** "We need unity in humility found at the foot of the Cross, not prideful uniformity that says: 'Look at us doing God's work'" "There has got to be a practical, excecutable strategy in place for us to dethrone the ministry of Hollywood in our homes and bring families and communities together via corporate prayer inspired by the Spirit. Technology is not the enemy; Our disobedient laziness is the enemy." ***
