"THE ART OF PRAYER" - DAY 22: (SEPTEMBER 2016 - A MONTH OF BOOK REVIEW)

DAY 22, CHAPTER 22 – INTERCEDING FOR THE LOST.

Today we are considering chapter twenty two of the book under review “Interceding for the Lost”

Isaiah 66:8

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

Galatians 4:19

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.

Paul travailed (interceded). It was a spiritual activity. It is an intense suffering in the inner man. It is comparable to the pangs of natural childbirth. It involves real intercession.

Are you still interceding for the lost? This question is for you and I… think about it.

"THE ART OF PRAYER" - DAY 21: (SEPTEMBER 2016 - A MONTH OF BOOK REVIEW)

DAY 21, CHAPTER 21 – PRAYING FOR DELIVERANCE.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-3.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you. AND THAT WE MAY BE DELIVERED for unreasonable and wicked men, for all men have not faith But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

This verse says “…pray for us…that we may be delivered…

We should never take an urge to pray lightly. It may make the difference between life and death to some other soldier of the cross...

2 Corinthians 5:10, 11.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men…

It is sure and certain that Jesus coming is near, and His coming will be like a thief in the night, where no one knows the day, time in which he will come.

It will be difficult and impossible for those who are living in sin (the sinners) to reign with him in heaven. It is our duty to preach Christ to the sinner and prayer for their repentance, so they can be safe from the Judgment of God to come.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men…

How effective and efficient are you in persuading men to turn their life to Christ?

"THE ART OF PRAYER" - DAY 17: (SEPTEMBER 2016 - A MONTH OF BOOK REVIEW)

DAY 17, CHAPTER 17 – GROANINGS IN THE SPIRIT.

Today we are considering the seventeen chapter of this book “groaning in the Spirit”. We have gone far in this book review.

Romans 8:22-27

One way the Holy Spirit helps us in prayer is in groaning and also in praying in other tongues.

We may not know how or what to ask in prayer so that our prayer will correspond with our real needs. The Holy Spirit moves us with groaning which we cannot express in words and helps us direct out desires to the proper objects. Also to help us to be specific is a part of the groaning. These groaning are according to the will of God and express His care for us. Although we cannot understand the groaning, they are intelligible to God. He always responds.
