The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

The church in America would do well to take lessons from the church throughout the world that is exploding with prayer.  A missionary friend of mine has seen an explosion of miracles and healings (more on that to follow).

These quotes challenge and empower me to ‘pray without ceasing’:

“… prayer is powerful… in fact, it is probably much more powerful
than you and I have ever imagined. The reason we aren’t convinced of
the fact is that we usually fail to pray, consistently, intensely, and
strategically…”-Chip Ingram
“… If you’ve ever wondered what your missing in the Christian life,
look here first. A commitment to intercessory prayer changes lives.
If you want to know who the most influential people in the world are?
When we think of power, we usually first think about presidents and
business moguls or cultural icons like movie stars and sports figures.
But in God’s economy, those people have very little influence. S.D.
Gordon words it well: the great people of the earth today are people
who pray…”-Chip Ingram
