Doesn’t the God who created the universe out of nothing and put all the stars in place, have the power to take care of your situation?

The Bible does say, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." Preaching, music, the reading of the Word-these things are fine-but they must never override prayer as the defining mark of God's dwelling.

We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.

Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.

Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.

What does it say about our churches today that God birthed the church in a prayer meeting, and prayer meetings today are almost extinct?

Because we are God's children...we can bring our needs to him with certainty in prayer.... Prayer is not some kind of heavenly lottery. Nor does the Bible counsel us to pray with an "I hope this will work"...attitude. Instead...prayer brings us before the throne of grace as children seeking the help of their heavenly Father. That's the heart of breakthrough, successful prayer-the bold confidence that we are talking to the Father who delights to supply our needs.
