There is a wonderful thing that happens when a person gets to a point in their life where the realization dawns, that all that they have tried only continues to perpetuate the struggle of everyday living. When this point is reached many have gone down to their knees and surrendered, praying to a force greater than them to intervene. Do we really have to reach this point of despair? The

By Paul DavisLet us briefly acknowledge the three types of tongues that God’s Spirit does use to express Himself. First, there is a tongue with which to preach, so as to communicate the gospel to the nationalities of the world perishing in their sins (Acts 2:4-8). Secondly, there is the gift of being able to pray in tongues (1 Cor. 14:14-15), which greatly enhances your prayer life – as we don’

Many Christians often wonder, "How should we pray?"I'm going to touch on this subject of prayer a few more times in the upcoming weeks, so today we'll deal with asking for forgiveness in prayer. This question of prayer isn't a new one but is in fact one that the disciples asked Jesus while he was still roaming the earth. Jesus responded by giving them an example in the form of the "Lord's prayer

One of the greatest hinderances to answered prayer is when we ask with the wrong motive.

Author: Robin DarchMost people believe that you must have religious training or attend a church regularly in order to pray. The truth is anyone can pray. You can pray anywhere you like. No one needs to hear you pray except GOD or Jesus, if you believe in them. Prayer is the best meditation there is. Simply chanting or breathing a certain way might calm you outwardly, but inner peace comes through

Prayer is a lot more than just talking to God. When Paul says to 'pray without ceasing,' he does not mean to become a motor mouth. Prayer is connecting with God, and allowing him to live through us. 30). This allows us to see and live in the reality in God’s kingdom: “As Jesus is, so are WE in this world” (I John 4:17). Prayer is indeed communication with God, but keep in mind this is two-ways.
