"Time spent
alone with God in regular, disciplined
personal communion is the powerhouse of
our ministry. Remember, it is the
disciplined life in the secret place
which sets the foundation for effective
ministry in the public place." - E.
M. Bounds
ALL Christians
have
ministry.If you are a Christian with an
inconsistent and ineffective prayer life
you can change, beginning right
now, and become a
person mighty in prayer and effective in
ministry. You will find that "Prayer ABC's" at: http://www.gospelcom.net/bpf/docs/abc.shtml will be an excellent help to get you started.
For those really serious about improving their prayer life, we highly recommend that you click on the following links above: A Guide to Spending an Hour with God and Andrew Murray's Helps , and follow the suggestions of these seasoned prayer warriors. They have discovered the satisfaction of the joy filled life of prayer.
We also recommend that you click on the "Prayer 101" link where there are a number of great articles on prayer. (see partial list below).
As you
keep open to the Holy Spirit's teaching and
talk with God, you will be amazed at how
proficient you will become! You can
practice anytime, anywhere, all the
time, everywhere. Prayer will transform
your life! Write me about it!
E-mail us your special prayer requests.
The more specific you are about your
needs, the better.
Give thanks daily for your pastor, his
wife and family, and
pray fervently for them. For
suggestions, click on "Praying for
Pastors" above, under "Vital Links."
"A delegation of American pastors asked
Charles
Spurgeon the secret for his success. In
response,
Spurgeon led them to the lower level of
his meeting
house and quietly opened the door. The
visitors saw
over 400 people praying for God's
blessing and power
to rest upon their pastor who would
stand in the
pulpit to preach the Word of God that
night. 'There,
Gentlemen,' said Spurgeon, 'is the
secret for my
success.'"
The Apostle Paul, a man of much prayer,
pleaded with
the church to pray for him, saying, "I
beseech you,
brethren...that ye strive together with
me in your
prayers to God for me." Rom. 15:30.
Your pastor (or pastor's wife) will know
you are thankful
to
God for him (or her) as you say to him
(or her), privately, "Pastor (or
pastor's wife),
you always have a place in my prayers
and I'll be
glad to pray for any special needs." Try
it this
week!
- no "chaff"!
