“… You do not have, because you do not ask God.” ~ James 4:2 (NIV) ~

OUR BIGGEST & BOLDEST PRAYERS You have most likely heard the old preacher story of the man who once said: “If I had realized all along that my prayers would be answered, I would have prayed better prayers.” He was being facetious, a little. But there is also some truth to what he said.

We have a tendency to pray safe prayers, small prayers, never presuming to ask for too much. And we’re careful to include the qualifier, “If it be Thy will,” just in case nothing happens. Of course, praying within the boundaries of God’s will is a fundamental element of prayer; we know this. (1 John 5:14) Our problem, however, is that we often pray for less than God’s will — with something less than an attitude of faith.

THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO RECEIVE CURRENT INFORMATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

We pray for a cabin in the corner of Glory Land — while God is offering us a mansion of our very own.

To be removed from future mailings,

We ask for the ability to accept defeat — so to speak — while God has promised to make us more than conquerors.

We’re asking for the courage to cope — He is ready to give us the power to overcome. God has promised us great things. We respond by asking for small things. What if we were to zero in on one or two requests that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt are surely part of God’s perfect will for our lives — and what if we made these areas a target of our biggest and boldest prayers of faith? continued

I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get the point. These are the birth-right of every believer. If they’re lacking in any of our lives, there is arguably only one reason: May 16 - May 22

Judy Dienlin Memorial Service: Saturday, May 22nd @ 11AM

Pray within the boundaries of God’s perfect will — and those are huge boundaries. And then pray big and bold prayers. And pray like you know your prayers will be answered. Prayer is not just a religious ritual, it’s a lifestyle; it is an on-going conversation with the God who created us. This Sunday, May 16th, I am beginning a new sermon series I am calling PRAYER: thinking deeply in the PRESENCE OF GOD! Using some of the best-known Biblical passages on the subject of prayer, this series will show how to develop a dynamic, effective prayer life-style. I will be teaching how to develop the prayer habit, how to pray for yourself and others, and how to pray the type of prayers that get results — BIG, BOLD PRAYERS! I hope to see you with us each of the next six weeks. Blessings on your week as you begin to consider whether your prayers are small and safe — or big and bold. Pastor Terrell

Johnathan Rhodes will be graduating from Bradshaw Mountain High School this week. Take time today to be an encouragement to this young man who faithfully serves in our sound booth. We are proud of you, John! Congratulations!
