A Church Stays on its Feet When its Members Get on Their Knees (Prayer Motivator Minute #45)

Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Chuck Smith. He said: “The most important thing a born again Christian can do is to pray." Our prayer motivator verse for today is 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Zechariah 13:9 which reads: "And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God." Our thought for today is that every Christian everywhere can pray on behalf of other people. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Richard Halverson. He said, "Intercession is truly universal work for the Christian. No place is closed to intercessory prayer. No continent—no nation—no organization—no city—no office. There is no power on earth that can keep intercession out." Our prayer motivator devotional is titled "The Most Important Thing We Can Do is Intercede for Those Who Are Not Saved " from Dr. J. Gordon Henry: We can be confident that when we ask anything according to His will, God hears us and will answer our requests. 1 John 5:14-15 reads, "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." What is His will concerning the salvation of the unsaved? God is "long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). "All" includes everyone in this incontrovertible statement of God's desire. He wants "all" to come to repentance. He loves the whole worls (John 3:16). Christ is the propitiation for the sins of "the whoel world" (1 John 2:2). Paul's charge to Timothy is that he pray "for all men" and that "God our Saviour [would] have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" and that "Christ Jesus...gave Himself a ransom for all" (1 Timothy 2:1, 3:6). Therefore, praying for the lost is a very important need in intercession. Our intercession frees God to do some things He would not otherwise do; God has chosen to involve us in His plan and has chosen to limit Himself to our praying. What an awesome thought! With confidence we can pray for the lost because saving the lost is His will. As we recount how to pray for the lost, it is important to be specific---not general. Intercede for a particular lost person BY NAME---not just all lost people. Name the person in prayer and focus your thoughts and prayers toward that person. This is an extremely important part of praying for the lost. Remember that few people ever come to Christ until someone begins to pray for them as individuals. + Plus, listen to The Katinas singing "Praying for You"

The Most Important Thing We Can Do is Intercede for Those Who Are Not Saved (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #87)

Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Sadhu Sundar Singh. He said: “The essence of prayer does not consist in asking God for something but in opening our hearts to God, in speaking with Him, and living with Him in perpetual communion. Prayer is continual abandonment to God." Our prayer motivator verse for today is Job 6:8 which says: “Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for."

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Isaiah 65:24 which reads: "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Our thought for today is if you have faith that God will answer your prayers, you will love praying to Him. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Andrew Murray. He said, "Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled WHERE HAVE THE BURDENED HEARTS FOR THE LOST GONE? from Dr. J. Gordon Henry: Paul expressed his burden to pray for his people, Israel, that "they might be saved". He described his burden as "great heaviness and continual sorrow in his heart". The context of Romans 9:1-3 includes a statement that the Holy Spirit is his witness that he is telling the truth---since the treatment he had received from his own people would lead an observer to question his veracity in the matter. He sounded much like Moses interceding for Israel in Exodus 32:11-14 when he shared that his burden was so intense that he would be willing to go to hell if his people could be saved. There is little incentive to exercise the discipline needed to pray without a burdened heart. Results are assured when there is a burdened heart. Psalm 126:5-6 reads, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." As the gospel seed is watered with tears of concern, the precious seed (which is the Word of God) will have great impact. Since we are so preoccupied with this life, it is so easy simply to forget life in eternity---which will either be heaven or Hell---based on what a person does with the Lord Jesus Christ. + Plus, listen to the Chicago Mass Choir singing "Prayer Will Fix It"

Prayer is Extremely Important and Prayer is the First Thing You Ought to Do. However, Prayer is Not a Substitute for Working, Thinking, Watching, Suffering, and Giving. (Prayer Motivator Minute #43)

Where Have the Burdened Hearts for the Lost Gone? (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #86)

Our prayer motivator quote for today is from John Wesley. He said: “I have so much to do that I spend several hours in prayer before I am able to do it." Our prayer motivator verse for today is Matthew 26:41, which says: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Genesis 18:27-28 which reads: "And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it." Our thought for today is that the greatest thing any one can ever do in life is pray. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from S.D. Gordon. He said, "The greatest thing anyone can do for God or man is pray." Prayer Devotional: 17 SUGGESTIONS TO CONSIDER WHEN PRAYING FOR OTHERS (PART 3) from Dr. J. Gordon Henry: To review what we discussed on last week, Dr. Henry encouraged us to ask for the following when we pray for others: (1) to realize his present exalted position in Christ, (2) Present himself as a living sacrifice, (3) Be filled with the Holy Spirit, (4) Be regular and systematic in the study of God's Word, (5) Have the mind of Christ, (6) Grow daily in Christlike maturity, (7) Appropriate the full armor of God, (8) Be alert to Satan's strategy, (9) Not love the world system, (10) Have a spirit of brokenness and humility, (11) Have a servant's heart, and (12) Build a Scriptural family. Today, we will discuss five more suggestions. When we pray, we should pray that the person for whom we are interceding will do the following: 13. Become an effective prayer warrior. Pray that the believer will understand what it means to be a prayer warrior; few do. Pray that his praying will be Biblically-based, specific, consistent, steadfast in the Spirit, in faith, and with understanding. 14. Know God's hand on him in physical and materials things. Pray that the one you are praying for will have a measure of health that will best glorify God. Pray that, when set aside by ill health, he will learn the lessons God has for him and draw upon Divine resources. Pray also for safety in travel, financial provision in keeping with God's plan for him, and proper use of the time and money God entrusts to him. 15. Learn to praise the Lord. Praise bring glory to God. Pray that the person for whom you are praying will enter a praise life---centered in the praise and adoration of the Triune God that will result in joy, power, adoration, and glory to the Lord. Pray that he will give thanks for his potential in Christ, for his spiritual growth, and for the resources available in Christ. 16. Engage in a life of prayerful worship. True worship in true service. Pray that the believer will not be on a works treadmill substituting activity for true worship and time with the Lord. Pray that he will make Psalm 37:3-7 the basis of his spiritual life. "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." 17. Reach out to the unsaved. Pray that the one for whom you are praying will love the lost as the Lord Jesus does and will reach out to a lost and dying world with the message of salvation. As the Lord leads you, please use these guidelines in interceding for others. + Plus, listen to Deitrick Haddon Singing "Won't Stop Praying"
