Made for Revelation
Over the last few weeks, we’ve looked at key principles to help you discover what you are made for. I trust this series has blessed you! This week I want to continue looking the effectiveness of prevailing prayer. Particularly I want to discuss how hearing from the Lord, receiving His insights or revelation on a matter, builds faith and energizes prayer.
Prison-Opening Prayer
One of the speakers at the Seminary last week was a young Pastor from Burma. He’s going through our doctoral program and hasn’t finished yet, but they had him speak on prayer and it was touching. In fact, he even said, “Please do not take my picture, because of the persecution that we have in Burma.” There was a coup there in Burma a few years ago. They’re burning churches left and right. Almost 90 percent of the nation is Buddhist, and like many nations, there’s a real attack and warfare against the church. They’re persecuted; they’re martyred; it’s a big deal.
Prevailing Prayer
I have been in ministry in some form or another for more than 40 years. I have degrees and am ordained. What I’ve found is that seminaries, books, and study alone won’t make a preacher or minister. What makes you that is a life bathed in prayer.

Faith: Perseveres
Faith: Perseveres Faith that realizes God’s promises perseveres despite the circumstances, delays, and silence of God. Answered prayer and miracles don’t typically come to the timid, but to the bold. Breakthrough comes to those who unashamedly storm the throne room of...
Faith: In Agreement
Faith: In Agreement Agreement is synergistic. One can chase a thousand, but two can chase ten thousand. Something happens in both the natural and spiritual realms when we come into agreement with others. Agreement is a dimension of unity, but deeper. Agreement is to...
Faith: For Healing
Faith: For Healing My wife and I just returned from a week of ministry in churches in Sao Palo, Brazil. It was such a wonderful time of ministry in churches as Jesus moved in power in the meetings! This city of 21 million people, named after the Apostle Paul, is...
Faith: Believe, Obey, Expect
Faith: Believe, Obey, Expect Looking at the faith of Abraham and Sarah, I want to discuss how faith believes, obeys, and expects. Simply stated, faith is an expectant anticipation of what God has promised. But how do we develop such faith? Let’s dive deeper into this...
Strategies to Overcome
Strategies to Overcome I love the story of Joshua and the children of Israel at Jericho. Perhaps you recall the story of how the walls “came a-tumbling down?” God gave them a very specific strategy. As they obeyed God, and they simply marched around the city walls for...
