Book Description
Prayer meetings are no longer held at many churches and sparsely attended at others, and when held are often dry and uninteresting. Why? Lack of clear, biblical leadership has largely been the fault. It is hardly possible to over-estimate the value of the prayer-meeting, as it stands related to the life and usefulness of the Church of Christ. In fact, no other service can be compared with this in importance –for without a live prayer-meeting the church will be spiritually cold, the Sabbath services will be formal (or in some cases too informal), and the children will be fed with husks instead of provisions from the Master’s table. In this book, Lewis Thompson beautifully and clearly offers solutions to the age-old complaints about prayer meetings. No more must prayer meetings be given a backseat in the list of priorities in churches today. In the chapters of this book, Thompson addresses topics such as The Importance of Prayer Meetings, How to Make Prayer-Meetings Interesting, Helps to Speaking in Public, Songs and Singing, How to Secure Prayer-Meeting Attendance, The Need for Preparation, Topics and Illustrations, Bible Readings, How to Keep the Prayer-Meetings Hot, and more.

A Better Way to Pray
Author: Andrew Wommack
Publisher: Harrison House Publishers
ISBN: 1577948343
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
After nearly four decades of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered some important truths about prayer. His prayer life is much different than it was thirty years ago and the results have dramatically improved! You may be asking many of the same questions Andrew once did. Is prayer my Christian duty? Is prayer primarily about asking God to meet my needs and the needs of others? Is God's answer to my prayer based on the degree of my humility and sincerity? Is answered prayer a sovereign decision of God or do I have the ability to influence Him? Clear, scriptural answers to these questions and more could significantly change the way you pray. These principles may not be the only way to pray, but if you're not getting the results you desire, consider changing directions; maybe there is A Better Way to Pray.

Improving Your Prayer Life through a Study of the Psalter
Author: Randall C. Bailey
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666715646
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
How should we pray? Do we believe God answers our prayers? Is it acceptable to complain to God? Should we bargain with him to receive the response we desire? Why do we praise God? Does our praise make him any more "God"? John Calvin argued basically that the purpose of prayer is to realign the petitioner's feelings and beliefs with God's. Many today seem to have adopted this idea. One says, "Why pray at all. God knows everything so my prayers cannot change his mind. I must pray to discover God's will for my life. I must realign my will with God's will for my life." In contrast, the psalmists assumed a reciprocal process. They believed they could bring pressures on God to answer their requests. They would bargain with God and promise him certain things if he would only grant their petitions. Indeed, this was part of the process. They would obligate themselves to praise God if he would grant their desires. Such bargaining was the foundation of their prayers. Comparisons of Calvin's views with the psalmists' allows the reader to investigate the nature of his or her prayer life and make improvements where necessary.
