Here is a quick reminder of some of the thoughts and scriptures Ron shared:
- "Christ went more readily to the cross than we do to the throne" (Thomas Watson)
- What we need first and foremost in our churches is not new or better methods but more prayer (E.M. Bounds)
- The church was birthed during a time of intense corporate prayer. Acts 1:14 They all joined together constantly in prayer...
- Jesus tells us the harvest of souls needs our prayer and workers, Matt 9:37-38 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
- Prayer is conditioned on it being in the name of Jesus and praying in the name of Jesus means to ask in a manner that is consistent with His character and will.
- ... for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. (Isa 56:7)
- It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer (Matt 21:13)
- Is my church characterized by prayer
- Is my life and home characterized by prayer
- Is my prayer only about my needs and wishes
- does my prayer focus on those things that are consistent with Jesus character and will.
