Message this Sunday- THE POWER OF PERSISTENT PRAYER

THE POWER OF PERSISTENT PRAYER

"Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Christian on his knees."  
William Cowper

"If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has."

"Seven days without prayer makes one weak."  
Allen E. Vartlett
Don’t pray when you feel like it.
Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it.
A man is powerful on his knees."
Corrie ten Boom
"God does nothing except in response to believing prayer."  
John Wesley

"Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers."
Sidlow Baxter


Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread.
You say to him, 6‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’
7And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’
8But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.
9“And so I tell you,
keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.
Keep on seeking, and you will find.
Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
10For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds.
And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:5-10 NLT

"The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity.
If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge,
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not!'"
J. Hudson Taylor
