the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a

Miscellaneous
Articles
on Prayer
- How
To Pray For Your
Children
Hannah,
the godly mother of Samuel, did not
pray a generic "Lord bless my son" type
of prayer for Samuel. Her prayers in
the early chapters of 1 Samuel reveal
four specific focuses in her son's
life.
- How
To Pray With Your
Children
While
Hannah's prayers for Samuel were a
positive example of how to pray for
your children, the priest Eli's
failures reveal challenges in a
parent's life to pray with their
children.
- How
To Pray For Our
Country
When
Israel's King David observed his nation
in decline and spiritual dryness, he
cried out to the Lord with the words
recorded in Psalm 63.
- How
To Pray For The
Sick
Principles
found in James 5 reveal that praying
for the sick should involve more than
merely adding the sick person's name to
the church's prayer list and hoping
that people will remember to ask the
Lord to bless them.
- How
To Pray For Your
Church
When
man attempts to build the Lord's work
on earth, the prayer focus is on
numerical strength, financial
stability, program success, and worldly
popularity; but when the work is built
by the Lord Himself, the prayer focus
is quite different. Jesus' priestly
prayer for His Church reveals specific
priorities we should pray for our own
church.
- How
To Pray For Those Who Are
Suffering
Today's
Christian has a very weak understanding
of suffering. His only prayer goal is
to make it end. In Romans 5, Paul - who
knew his own fair share of suffering -
set forth a marvelous pattern for us as
we pray for those who suffer.
- How
To Pray Against Failing
Faith
Though
Abraham is called the Father of Faith,
the events throughout his life recorded
in Genesis reveal repeated failing
faith. His entire life was challenged
by bizarre promises that seemed
unfulfilled. Satan's attacks upon
Abraham's faith through a series of
tests give us practical insights in how
to pray that our faith and the faith of
others will not fail.
- Impacting
Future Generations For
Prayer
God
promised the descendants of Jonadab,
the Rechabite, that there would never
be a time in the future when at least
one of their descendants would not
stand before the Throne of God! What
must you do to have this promise of
prayerfulness in the life of your
family?
- How
To Pray For The Nation Of
Israel
The
believer has the mandate to pray for
the peace of Israel (Psalm 122:6) and
the Scriptures give excellent
guidelines for our prayers.
- Understanding
Jesus' Prayer
Priorities
When
Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by Satan, He
also faced a crisis of His personal
priorities. His choice of priorities
when viewed in the context of His 40
days of prayer and fasting reveals to
us His prayer priorities.
- The
Downward Pull Of Our
Prayers
The
Psalmist grieves that his soul cleaves
to the dust and cries out for a
quickening according to God's Word
(Psalm 119:25). Do your prayers cleave
to the dust as they focus on temporal
requests?
- Strange
Answers To
Prayer
When
Jesus visited Gadara, He encountered
four unusual prayers and His answers to
those prayers are unquestionably
strange from a human
perspective.
Articles
on Revival
- Two
Often Overlooked Essentials For
Revival
The
revival in Elijah's day reveals the
significance of the itinerant
revivalist and the intercessory remnant
of God's people.
- The
Duty Of A Pastor Desiring
Revival
One
of the greatest revivals recorded in
Scripture is the day of Pentecost. The
actions on the part of those in
leadership during the dark days
following Jesus' departure from their
presence reveal the clear duty of a
pastor seeking revival among his
congregation.
- Characteristics
Of A Genuine
Revival
The
Biblical account of the Pentecost
Revival in Acts 1 and 2 reveal specific
characteristics of genuine revival.
- Discerning
Genuine And Counterfeit
Revival
In
2 Timothy 3, Paul utilized the Old
Testament to clarify the revival of
Pentecost and to warn his
protégé young pastor
Timothy against counterfeit movements.
- Recognizing
The God Of
Revival
The
God of Revival was a stranger to His
own people during the days of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah's lament challenges us to be
discerning in our prayers for revival
today.
Miscellaneous
Articles
- The
Old Testament Prototype Of An Itinerant
Ministry
The
qualities of Samuel's itinerant
ministry described in 1 Samuel 7:15-17
should be reproduced in the itinerant
ministries of today.
- Worshipping
In Truth
Jesus
said that true worshipers would worship
the Father in spirit and in truth. Does
your worship fit within the confines of
the written law of truth?
- A
Tale Of Two
Lifestyles
After
Ezekiel described the rotten culture in
which he lived, he posed the question
in Ezekiel 33:10: how should we then
live. The lifestyles of Jesus described
in Philippians 2 and the lifestyle of
the reprobate described in Romans 1
present a strikingly parallel contrast
to our choice of lifestyles.
- The
Deception Of Today's
Heresies
Seven
books in the New Testament address
false teaching. Each one focuses on a
different error that was threatening
the Early Church. Today's church is
also under attack with the same seven
errors.
- The
Other Side - A World Of Demons and
Prosperity
The
dark world of the Gadarenes and their
response to Jesus' light give
understanding to the world in which we
live.
