Life Happens

So it has been almost a month now since we have been able to post or host the radio show on Blog Talk Radio. Chris and his wife Tracey have been in the process of moving to a new house, and my wife and I have been dealing with just random life stuff. It could also be that we have perhaps gotten lazy, or even that we have become so focused on our own lives we have forgotten why we were doing this ministry to begin with. Let me clarify that last statement. Almost a year ago when Chris and myself began the Prayer International ministry, we were not completely sure where God would take it. We both just knew that God was moving. We also both felt a strong need to have a 24 hour prayer site on the web, where people could go and get prayer anytime day or night. So we created a simple website with that purpose in mind. In the beginning we would get a few prayer requests, which Chris would send responses to, and we also had live video feeds available. However, we soon learned that staffing a ...

You shall know the truth

What is truth? Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". What did He mean by saying such things? One suggestion is that He is the culmination of everything that has a beginning, when He Himself does not. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. (John 1:3). To find out the truth about the reason, purpose, need, and function for any item...you must ask the Creator of that item. Some people wander about seeking out purpose. They search to and fro looking for the satisfaction that only comes from have a reason to exist. Yet few people realize that the answer to that question can not be found anywhere but through and from Him. You see my friends, Jesus is the answer. Jesus is the reason. Jesus is the solution to so many of life's questions. You can read a million books about relationship, and purpose, and destiny. However none of those, while they may be great books, will get you a real revelation about your pur...

Praying the Apostolic Prayers

Praying the Apostolic Prayers These portions of the Bible are listed here to help us.  The Holy Spirit inspired Jesus and the apostles to pray these prayers.  Therefore, let's join them and agree with God.  I find that praying the Bible is an excellent addition to my regular spontaneous prayers for my family, friends, the nation and the world. 1.   Prayer for revelation of Jesus' beauty and the Bride's destiny for transforming our heart. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Eph 1:17-19 2. Prayer for the release of supernatural strength in the heart unto experiencing God's emotions . I pray that out of hi...

Hinderances to Prayer

Sometimes we feel as if our prayers just bounce off the ceiling and are not breaking through. There can be many reasons that cause our prayer life to be stale and ineffective. Below, I have listed few of them. It will be different for everyone, there are no formulas here. Just get before God and allow the Holy Spirit to show you other things that may also be hindering your prayer life. 1. Conscious unconfessed sins (Ps.66:18; Is.59:1-2) "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened..." (Ps.66:18). "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save nor His ear too dull to hear. But* *your iniquities have separated you from your God, your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear" (Is.59:1-2). 2. Idolatry - occult involvement (Ez.14:3) "Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling* *blocks before their faces. Should I let them enquire of Me at all?" 3. Stin...

Prayer Encouragement

What is prayer? Prayer is communication between The Heavenly Father and His children.  In one sense, that is all there is to it.  When prayer seems difficult, and we feel unworthy of asking the Almighty Creator God to answer our seemingly mundane requests, we would do well to remember that most Fathers want to talk with their children; and most parents will tell you that communication is very important. With God, however, prayer is not limited by words only but it is a touching of our spirit, with the Holy Spirit of God, that leads us into relationship with the Father.  This means that we don't need to put everything into words, but can simply open our hearts,thoughts, and emotions to our Father God. But how can this be, you might ask?   Why would God allow himself to be pestered by millions of prayer requests from us? The answer is that prayer is a gift.   God has given each and every one of us the opportunity to address Him directly. Moreover,...

Listen, Get to Know His Voice

John 10:27 says,  " My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" Get to know the voice of God, He talks as often as you need Him.  I cannot explain to you my wife's voice, you would have to get to know her, by spending time with her.  God talks more than anyone you will ever meet.  I cannot explain the voice of my Heavenly Father.  To get to know His voice, you would have to spend time with Him.  Unless you recognize the voice of the Spirit, obedience is impossible.
