Rocky is our pastor at Northside Family of Faith, and his sermon yesterday morning was on prayer. I would like to share with you some of his comments and thoughts from that sermon.
The Great Commandment is our passion (Matthew 22:37-40) and The Great Commission is our purpose (Matthew 28:19-20). However, The Great Omission is often times prayer!
So why don't we spend more time in prayer? Could it be that Satan has convinced us that we are to busy and we really don't believe it will make a difference anyway? Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. What would happen in this country if all of the Christians got on their knees everyday for one hour and sincerely prayed to God our Father? Do you think there might be a few changes on the horizon for this great nation if that was the case? -------- READ ON!
During our Global Mission Celebration last weekend I had the opportunity to spend a good deal of time with a missionary from South Korea and he shared the following facts: 35% of the Korean population are Christian when only a few years ago the percentage was almost zero. South Korea has approximately 15,000 missionaries serving in countries all over the world with a large number of those being here in the good old USA. ***NOW FOR THE AMAZING PART*** Every morning at 5:00am all of the Christians go to their church and spend a minimum of one hour in prayer before they start their day. Could it be that prayer is what ignited such a revival in South Korea?
Just food for thought. I hope that everyone has a great day!!
