All of us have had experiences when it didn’t look like our prayers were answered. But is that really what happened? The Bible says in Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Is that true? Well, many people say it… Continue reading What to Do When Your Prayers Seem Unanswered

Like many Christians, I believed God was angry with the human condition, and it was up to me to turn Him from wrath and judgment. I was interceding, or so I thought, pleading with God on the behalf of others. What could possibly be wrong with that? As I learned later, a lot. The things… Continue reading A Better way to pray

I think all Christians would agree that we should be praying for our nation during this critical time in our history. Judicial activists are no longer interpreting the law but attempting to legislate from the bench. By using these activist judges in our courts, the ungodly are systematically attempting to remove all reference to and… Continue reading A Call to Prayer

The joy of always getting your prayers answered. The time has come for a new way of prayer. Paradoxically, this new method is an ancient way of prayer, one in which God’s faithful servants like David and Paul succeeded. I have tried all kinds of ways of praying, even ascending into the courts of heaven.… Continue reading SKILLED PRAYER

Did you know that there is a chapter in the Bible which described, many centuries in advance, everything that was to happen to the Jewish nation? How many disastrous things could have been avoided if they had only heeded the warnings God gave them. God oftentimes gives a Word telling His people what will happen… Continue reading When the heart speaks

One of the biggest parts of our service should be the worship that we bring to the Lord. In our thinking it should be important as anything in the world. When you come to a service, you may think you are there to get a blessing, to hear the word, to be instructed, to be… Continue reading Our prayer

Prayer and intercession must be with an intensity, yet with a creative faith that does not beg but calls into being. That is what God wants. In this generation we have to overcome one of the greatest hindrances to our walk with God at the present time: the need for our worship to be deeper.… Continue reading Intensity in prayer

Samuel, in his address to Israel at a critical time in the war with the Philistines, says: “Moreoever, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.” I Samuel 12:23. Sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for the people? Yes! Why… Continue reading Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord

This period of the age we are in is very serious, and as we read the Scriptures, we find that they are also very serious. In fact, if the Lord had not given me a sense of humor, I would be completely overwhelmed with the apparent seriousness and heaviness of almost everything I read in… Continue reading How will I get out of this?

An almost violence in our enthusiasm will have to be a way of life now. For that reason, you cannot accept those who want to pour cold water on your spirit. The prophecy of Jesus said, “Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:12). If you try to go along… Continue reading Violent, aggressive, praying and exhorting

Two chapters in the gospel of Luke, chapters 11 and 18, are dedicated to the principles of prayer, especially the principles that are most effective in the end time. They will give the basis for what we are approaching. We are facing a change; everything is going to change. I don’t know whether that prediction… Continue reading And keep on asking

I’ve had God give me a promise which was to be fulfilled on a specific date, and my faith would be deeply shaken when it didn’t seem to come to pass. Then I’d learn afterwards that the thing actually transpired in the spirit realm, and all of the force of the situation or circumstance was… Continue reading understanding the apparent delays in answers to prayers

Many sermons have been preached on the Lord’s prayer and at times the Lord gives a new revelation on it. “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who 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… Continue reading Another meditation on the Lord’s prayer

And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us… Continue reading Persistent prayer-for what and to whom?

Samuel, in his address to Israel at a critical time in the war with the Philistines, says: Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. I Samuel 12:23. Sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for people? Yes! Why would… Continue reading Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord

The objectives of prayer—for what shall we pray? In order to establish this in your mind we will move rapidly so that the whole message is one concept rather than many individual thoughts. I want you to get a feeling rather than to be enlightened by expositions. Is travail and agony the continual, perpetual state… Continue reading Objectives of prayer

In the book of Exodus the people of the Lord reached a place where their making a molten calf in the wilderness had provoked the anger of God. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, (God didn’t own them… Continue reading If thou will go not with us

What we have received so far is not the final answer. It is better than we have seen before, but it is not enough! I pray to God, telling Him that I love Him, that I fear Him, that I reverence Him, that I worship Him—and that I am embarrassed for Him; and I say… Continue reading What will it be-a token or a torrent

Chapters 11 and 18 in the Gospel of Luke are dedicated to the principles of prayer, especially the principles that are most effective in the end time. They give the basis for the change we are approaching. We are going to change—physically, mentally, spiritually, economically—in every way. We can claim things and believe for them… Continue reading And keep on asking

This may seem to be a lesson on theology because it speaks about God; but theology is usually a dead study, filled with the intricate hairsplitting doctrines of men who are devoid of deep spirituality and are only concerned about things academically. This is actually not a teaching on theology, though it deals with the… Continue reading What God cannot do

If you have a God, it is important for you to know what He has said He will do for you. And after you review what He has said He will do for you, it is good to determine whether He is able to do it. And after you have established that He is able… Continue reading He is willing and able

WE BRING IT DOWN In the sixth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel is the prayer known as the Lord’s Prayer. There we can discover some deep truths in what seems to be a simple teaching. Some call it the disciples’ prayer, because the disciples asked the Lord how to pray and He gave them this prayer.… Continue reading We bring it down

A certain pattern of prayer has become real to those who walk with God; it has been revealed and put into action. The book of Acts gives us the pattern of prayer in the early Church. They were all in one accord, in one place (Acts 2:1). When the apostles were released after being threatened,… Continue reading The body prays
