Victory through prayer

Tonight is our weekly prayer meeting.

I encourage you to come.

Prayer is the catalyst for Ephesians 3:20, (One of my favorite verses that I use a lot in my teachings) "Now to him who is able to do exceedingly more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."

I just love that verse.

God is able.

God is able to do exceedingly more.

God is able to do exceedingly more than all we ask.

God is able to do exceedingly more than all we ask or imagine.

God is able to do exceedingly more than all we ask or imagine according to his power.

God is able to do exceedingly more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work in us.

With God is is always "more".

More grace.  More power.  More of his presence.  More victories.  More faith. 

Don't sell yourself short today.  You can see God do "more" in and through your life.

Jesus is in you.  And with Jesus in you, you can accomplish some incredible things for God.

That kind of vision starts with pursuing his heart in prayer.


I believe God wants our church to be filled each week with a constantly expanding multitude of growing Christians who are learning how to walk in daily intimacy with God.

That’s really the heart of prayer, daily intimacy with God where we share our heart with him and he shares his heart with us. This is what the Bible means by abiding in Christ, remaining in his love, being constantly aware of his presence.

I dream of our church being a house of prayer, a place where prayer provides the foundation for every ministry we are involved in.

As it’s been said, "Prayer doesn’t prepare us for the battle; prayer is the battle."

Our ministry needs to flow from our knees.

May the coming year be a time of renewal of our vision for prayer - and victory.
