A House of Prayer

A House of Prayer by Travis Ripley – ISBN: 9781792172953. We are either a house of prayer, or a den of thieves. Why is the contrast drawn between prayer and thieves? It is through prayer that God chooses to work in the earth. If we rob him of our prayers, then his purpose is hindered in the earth. We are the ones (his church) that have been given the authority to bring his kingdom into the earth through prayer. (A House of Prayer by Travis Ripley) And he said unto...

The Necessity of Prayer

The Necessity of Prayer by E M. Bounds: In any study of the principles and procedure of prayer, of its activities and enterprises, first place, must, of necessity, be given to faith.

The Possibilities of Prayer

The Possibilities of Prayer by E M. Bounds: THE ministry of prayer has been the peculiar distinction of all of God’s saints. This has been the secret of their power. The ener-gy and the soul of their work has been the closet.

The Weapon of Prayer

The Weapon of Prayer by E M. Bounds. IT must never be forgotten that Almighty God rules this world. He is not an absentee God. His hand is ever on the throttle of human affairs. He is everywhere present in the concerns of time. “His eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.” He rules- the world just as He rules the Church by prayer. This lesson needs to be emphasized, iterated and reiterated in the ears of men of modern times and brought to bear with cumulative force...
