Book Description
Why This Book Was Written As a young child, I remember when our churches had one night a week to have prayer meetings. Sadly, today our churches have decided that family nights with activities are more important than having prayer meetings. Today our churches have become program-driven-more programs, the bigger the church. A few years ago, I came across this story, and just recently I felt God telling me to bring prayer back to his house. Here is that story. Several years ago, a pastor was asking God to return prayer to our schools. After several months of praying, he asked God why he would not answer his prayer of returning prayer to the schools. God answered him this way, "Why don't you pray for prayer to return to my churches?" Today churches can have the best programs and great outreaches, but it will lack being an impact in their communities until they understand and realize prayer must be brought back to our churches and used the way God has given us to use it. This book was written to not only bring back our churches to the forefront but also to teach why prayer must be one of the pillars our churches need to have. It is to show how to build a prayer ministry and a better understanding of the power of prayer. Our churches must once again become a house of prayer to win the lost and be that light on the hill. We must get our church back on her knees and let prayer in. This book will teach you the art of praying and why we need to pray. It is my conviction for you to change your prayer life or to start a prayer life. This book holds back no punches and is blunt and straightforward.

Fasting for Financial Breakthrough
Author: Elmer L. Towns
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441267271
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Shed a spiritual light on some of the biggest problems facing people today: the need to put the role of money in a proper perspective and to solve financial problems. Elmer Towns states at the outset that this is not the primary purpose of fasting and prayer. Instead, it is all about knowing God. It is not about withdrawing prayer on an as-needed basis from some spiritual ATM kiosk. It is about meditation, studying the Scriptures, and communing with God. When we fast and pray in faith, asking for God's help and provision, He begins to teach us how to become good stewards of what He has provided. Chapter topics include "Fasting to Learn Stewardship," "Why We Have Money Problems," and "A Faith Approach to Fasting for Money." Once we understand why we struggle with money problems, we can do something about it with this practical step-by-step guide.

The Purpose Driven Church
Author: Rick Warren
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310294088
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

This is a non-fiction book about growing up in the church of Gates of Heaven Pentecostal Churches, Incorporated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At Jesus' command they took a leap of faith and as a result, many people have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Backsliders have restored their rightful place in Jesus' heart. Demons have been cast out. Lives have been permanently changed for the better. All things were not perfect; but where repentance, grace, mercy and love abide so does growth and surrender and the peace that passes all understanding and a life that is more abundant.
