When God moves by grace, we are called to respond in faith. It is our first and primary work before moving in ministry.
Pastors and church leaders should be aware of God’s grace in the church, ready to celebrate it with the flock, and steward it in the flock once it’s found.
Praying to the Lord of the harvest to be sent out into the harvest rescues prayer from the confines of an ingrown church.
Praying for brothers and sisters in physical duress is important, but the church often overlooks the importance of praying for the vitality of the inner man.
A relationship with Jesus is personal, but not private. Sharing in united prayer as a church under Christ, a church can find itself in a place of power.
We can rescue prayer from self-sufficiency when we pray while abiding in the Vine, Jesus. Here we can accomplish things of eternal value.
Effective prayer starts in the character of God.
Effective and transformational prayer begins at the cross. At the cross of Christ, we lay aside self-centeredness and let Christ’s life come through us.
Praying with Scripture provides a powerful framework for prayer.
