Why Faith and Prayers Are Vital in God’s Great Plan

Podcast: Light on Life Season Eleven Episode Forty-Six

You know faith and prayer are two marvelous twins in God’s economy. Last week, I thought we were finished with our series on the Holy Spirit. But yet, there is one more area the Lord wants us to look at together and that’s the Holy Spirit’s involvement with us in prayer. Jesus mentioned a phrase that we want to examine today and that’s ’the House of Prayer.’ There are some organizations that have taken these and actually put together prayer teams that bear the name House of Prayer. Here is the testimony of one such group. “God is currently doing wonderful things through small clusters of Christians who are interceding for their neighbors in Houses of Prayer. A House of Prayer is two or more believers who gather to release God’s power upon their neighbors through prayer and to convey His blessing through deeds of love and kindness. A House of Prayer may be a nuclear family praying in its home. It may be Christian neighbors who don’t actually meet together but network their prayer efforts. Or it may be neighborhood believers who meet regularly for prayer. The House of Prayer strategy comes out of Paul’s charge in 1 Timothy 2:1–4: “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.” Everyone includes neighbors, especially nonChristians, because “God our Savior wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” Houses of Prayer are attractive today because the method is so simple. If you have neighbors, if you detest Satan’s influence, and if you can devote 15 minutes or more a week to intercession, you are a House of Prayer candidate. Houses of Prayer can be started anywhere.¹ This effort is rather structured. Today, I’m going to home in on something not quite as structured but powerfully effective. Why Faith and Prayers Are Vital in God’s Great Plan, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Why God’s Greatest Glory Manifests In His Temple

Podcast: Light on Life Season Eleven Episode Forty-Five

The Temple of God is our focus as we continue our series on the Holy Spirit in John fourteen through sixteen. We’ve covered the Holy Spirit in us as Jesus followers. Shared about the actions of the Holy Spirit out in the world. Then looked at the Holy Spirit coming on us — not in us but on us. And today, we are concluding with the Holy Spirit among us. In us, on us, and among us. We’re going to see that the Temple of God is the focal point for the manifestation of the Glory of God. I’m talking God’s glory Himself — I’m not referencing the statement ‘let’s do something for the glory of God.’ You know, ‘we built this church for the Glory of God.’ ‘We are living our lives for the glory of God.’ There’s wrong with that. The Word of God tells us that whatever we do in word or deed, we should do to the Glory of God. What we will focus on is the Holy Spirit Himself moving in our midst. Manifesting God’s Glory — God’s very Presence sometimes to a remarkable and unforgettable degree. There’s some powerful life changing truths here. If you are a person who struggles with self-esteem, than this podcast is for you. Once you understand the truth about ‘God’s Temple’ and ‘what it really is,’ self-esteem issues will melt like a snowball in a hot August sun. Why God’s Greatest Glory Manifests In His Temple, that’s our point of focus on this week’s Light On Life.

What Tools Do You Need to Pray for Others?

Podcast: Light on Life Season Eleven Episode Forty-Seven

Today, we are going to examine some tools that are declared for us in the Word to God to help us with our prayer lives. The Lord did not just leave us on our own in these matters. The Word of God contains distinct prayer principles that we should become acquainted with. You know your enemy has some tools as well. Tools that will hinder your prayer endeavors. One gentleman said that he read once that the Devil was having a yard sale, and all of his tools were marked with different prices. They were a fiendish lot. There was hatred, jealously, deceit, lying, pride—all at expensive prices. But over to the side of the yard on display was a tool more obviously worn than any of the other tools. It was also the most costly. The tool was labeled, DISCOURAGEMENT. When questioned, the Devil said, “It’s more useful to me than any other tool. When I can’t bring down my victims with any of the rest of these tools, I use discouragement, because so few people realize that it belongs to me.”¹ The enemy uses discouragement as a tool especially when answers to prayer are not manifesting as fast as we think they should. Of course, it’s easy for us to have opinions on such matters. This is where the Word of God helps us. And that’s why we are focusing today on “What Tools Do You Need to Pray for Others” all on this week’s Light on Life.
