The Prayer Motivator with Daniel Whyte III

Prayer Can Bring Revival (The Prayer Motivator Devotional Broadcast #71)

Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Sidlow Baxter, a pastor, theologian, and author of over 30 books. He said: “Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." Our prayer motivator verse for today is Luke 11:1, which says: “And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray."

Our thought for today is how prayer activates the power of God in our lives. Our prayer motivator verse for today is Matthew 7:7 which says: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Tony Evans, who is a dynamic Christian preacher in Dallas, TX and president of the Urban Alternative. He said, "A lot of Christians are trying to operate their spiritual lives the way I drive my car. They are running on fumes—trying to get somewhere for the Lord without using the fuel that provides the spark that energizes the power of God resident within us through the Holy Spirit." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is that intercession is standing in the gap for others from J. Gordon Henry. Dr. Henry writes: Isaiah 59:16 says, "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him." A good way to get your brain in gear is to ask yourself to recall what the Holy Spirit has taught you. What is it you have now learned about prayer from these daily devotions? Think about it. As Jack Taylor has said, "No believer's practice of prayer will rise to stay above his view of prayer -- thus the need to constantly keep a proper perspective on prayer. We will continue our devotion today on intercession. An intercessor is one who stands between God and people, circumstances, and nations. The picture is God in Heaven and people on earth with a believer interceding -- serving as a go-between. All of us need the support of intercessors; in addition, every believer needs to be an intercessor. This is the work that must be done in order for the other efforts to serve the Lord to make any difference. + Plus, listen to Brian Free and Assurance singing "Praying Man"

Prayer is Standing in the Gap for Others (The Prayer Motivator Devotional Broadcast #70)

Our thought for today is we should not use prayer as a last resort, but as a first resort. Our prayer motivator verse for today is Romans 12:12 which says: "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer." Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Corrie ten Boom. She said: "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" Our prayer motivator devotional for today is are you ready to go to work in prayer from J. Gordon Henry. Dr. Henry said: Intercession is the part of prayer that brings the greatest results and dividends. It is the most neglected part of prayer because we are not on praying ground. Once we are clean, we can go to WORK. We will then "stir ourselves" to lay hold on God. Isaiah 64:7 says, "And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities." There will be movement, effort and discipline --- there will be WORK. It is absolutely necessary for us to WORK if we are going to make progress toward being a prayer warrior. There are some things that God does not do for us; rather, He waits until we do them. We put food, water, and oxygen into our bodies. There follows a process of manufacturing energy from these ingredients. We then expend that energy. Most of the energy is spent on activities that really don't matter at all yet they take our time and resources. Twenty-four hours after we do them, it doesn't matter if we did them at all. If we are going to use our energy on things that do matter, it will be because we have made up our minds to do so. THE MAIN THING IS TO KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING! The less we pray for ourselves and the more we pray for others, the nearer we approach Christlikeness. + Plus, listen to the Chicago Mass Choir singing "Prayer Will Fix It"

Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Andrew Murray, a South African teacher, writer, and pastor. He said: “Many Christians backslide...They are unable to stand against the temptations of the world, or of their old nature. They strive to do their best to fight against sin, and to serve God, but they have no strength. They have never really grasped the secret: The Lord Jesus will every day from heaven continue His work in me. But on one condition—the soul must give Him time each day to impart His love and his grace. Time alone with the Lord Jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power." Our prayer motivator verse for today is 2 Chronicles 7:15, which says: “Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."
