Prayer Debriefing Issue 2
As I was praying over our followers, some are just blog names, I saw many reasons to read our posts and follow the Conservative Christian Apologist. God is working, inspiring prayers, answering them, working miracles, […]
Beginning To believe
We talk about faith, believing, accepting, relying upon what we know to be true. There are degrees with these words, but in their pure full meaning, convictions and commitments emerge. Then, we are changed from […]
Blog Prayer Debriefing Issue 1
This month we hit the ground running with prayers of spiritual warfare for victory over demonic attacks, oppression, and footholds. It surprised me, considering you are Believers strong in faith and the Word, but the […]
God’s Way
I once heard a minister who taught that God responds to prayer, which is scriptural. However, he extended it much further, such that we have been granted great authority through prayer to change the world […]
Spiritual Service
When I consider a lifetime of Spiritual exercise what stands out is prayer, intercession, and supplication. As a child some of my earliest memories are prayer conversations with God. That conversation never stopped, but it […]
God in the Small Things
We needed to pour some concrete, quite a bit of it. We found a concrete contractor who began in a few days. I thought it good business to pay as we went and he was […]
A Return to Prayer and Faith
There are two aspects of the Kingdom of God that are critical for the Congregation of Believers today. The first is a restoration of the practice of prayer and intercession. It is necessary for every follower […]
Your Prayer Ministry
Any Believer can serve God and his fellow man through prayer ministry. This ministry is fully in the service of God and provided for in scripture. Moreover, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is provided […]
The Intercession of God
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32. “Likewise […]
Prayer Note
I kept thinking about my friend and brother in the Lord while I went about my business. When I ran an errand, when I helped the neighbor, and as I was cutting firewood; so I […]
Hearing Our Voice
“I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. The snares of death encompassed me; the […]
Attempted History Revision
It was immediately after an NFL playoff game, the numerous cameras were scouring the crowd of players, media reporters, officials and staff who poured over the field. I can imagine the camera director barking orders […]
Intercession and Forgiveness
We have a great privilege to be intercessors for others. To Intercede means to make petition in behalf of another. We see the prophet Daniel making intercession in prayer, “While I was speaking and praying, […]
Prayer Group
I’ve been in many prayer groups, most were great. We had a small one at work that did exploits in the Spirit among people, organizations, crossing boundaries. The one most unusual was with a group […]
Prayer Reminder
The scriptures remind us to pray, even to do so continually. (1 Thess. 5:17). I trust you to implement ‘continually’ as you best discern, but I want to remind you of an equally, perhaps more […]
Election Day Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you that we can go to the polls and vote for our political leaders. Thank You for any God-fearing candidates who are on the ballots. Give them wisdom and boldness to represent […]
Hannah’s Anguish
Someone is in anguish now over a destiny they see passing away. This person is distressed from waiting and taunts from rivals. Nevertheless, hope is found in the Lord. Carry your burden and pour it […]
Satan’s Teat
1 Peter 2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation. Surely you have tasted that the Lord is good!” Scripture encourages […]
Things Hidden and Revealed
There are some things that are to be hidden and others that are to be shown to others. “Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matt. 5: 15-16). Yeshua said this in the context of saying that believers are the salt and light of the world. Salt is a preserving agent and light illuminates all upon which it shines. Our good deeds are to bring glory to the Father in heaven.
Be Devoted To Prayer
Be devoted to prayer is the exhortation in Colossians 4:2. You will find this a very simple thing do to as you walk and live in the leading of the Holy Spirit. As with many things Spiritual, we have believed lies that it was either a concentrating strained effort or else a drudgery. On the contrary, praying in the Spirit is as natural to a born again Spirit filled believer as being joyful and awake. In our own fleshly effort it would be a poor excuse for effective prayer.
Scripture encourages us to pray constantly, (Acts 1:4, Thess. 1:11). This is done as we listen to the Spirit in our heart
Holy Spirit In Prayer
Agreement is important in prayer. Agreement first must be with God’s will. Agreement is also available from the Word of God – when we pray scripture. Recently, I had a need in my family, it was known by others and seemingly getting more urgent. I didn’t have faith to say anything, and I knew that words outside the Spirit’s leading could do harm, rather than good. I began to see prayer, not as a final desperate last resort, but as a place to stand in faith. I carried this burden to Yeshua, who stands ever interceding for us. (Rom. 8:34). In Him, I found agreement as if we were praying together for release, for healing, for a victory over the enemy. Then the Holy Spirit
One Man Praying
An impromptu prayer time was announced at church and I heard about it; as an intercessor I was interested to join with other intercessors. Also, I was curious about how many would show up, and how it would proceed. There was no announced time, so anything, including nothing might be seen. I went, the carpet cleaner was busy noisily working to clean the carpets, no one was there, but me. I prayed a while being a little disappointed as I contemplated the scripture, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you…
