Power Of Prayer Essay

Decent Essays
It is imperative brothers and sisters that we learn to PRAY, that we humble ourselves every single day, even multiple times a day finding ourselves in prayer seeking the Lord’s face for clarity and direction in our lives. When we find ourselves at a cross road, remember Psalm 121:1, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, From whence comes my help? We must shout unto the Lord, that we need His help, and that we cannot walk this faith journey without Him. We have gathered here today because the world is in total chaos. God’s chosen people of Israel; 4,000 years later have found themselves once again in another war, because of their disobedience to the Lord’s will.

Earthquakes are raging at an alarming rate, in the last 24 hours there have been 141 earthquakes documented from Greece, Japan, Oklahoma, to Nevada. Spiritual warfare is raging across this world because we are choosing to fight demonic forces with fleshly weapons. Guns, bombs, gossiping, hatred, and turning a blind eye are not going to fix the issues of the world. We need a supernatural intervention. The Lord has embedded the tools inside of us to bring heaven down to earth, so that we may see this supernatural intervention take place through the power of prayer. The Lord’s Prayer tells us in Matthew 6:10, “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” This scripture proves that through prayer, the will of God will prevail against any attack that we may encounter. It is time to wake up. There are watchmen in here, in this very room, that are ignoring the warnings of the Lord. He has given you insight to warn His people, and you are staying silent. There are people in the sanctuary that know the Lord has called them to activate their spiritual gift and they are being still. I do not think you understand the significance of you not answering the call; someone’s life is

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief. I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…

    The theological integration of faith and learning is one of the essential elements to the educational theory and practice of a Christian Higher Education institution.

    Faith Integration and Social Work There has long been a debate as to whether Christianity can be integrated into Social Work practice. As social workers, we are taught that faith is a topic that should not be discussed in treatment with clients and that we need to keep our values, biases and religion away from our work. The code of ethics that was established helps to keep us accountable for our actions and assists in making decisions. I do believe that it is possible to have both faith and a good social work practice successfully. In order to be successful at integrating the two, the social worker must make sure to maintain the values and ethics of the profession and always keep the clients best interest in mind.…

    My spiritual journey of faith has turned me into more of a “mutt” than a “purebred” Christian because of the variety of denominations and international churches that I have experienced so far in my life. For starters, I grew up in a “every Sunday” church family. In fact, I was at church the very next Sunday after being born. My first church was part of the Assemblies of God. However, a few years later my parents divorced and we ended up at a non-denomination church, where I spent the next 20 years.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
