Showing titles in Prayer

Prayer is an essential element of pastoral calling, yet many ministers struggle to devote consistent time and affection to this sacred means of grace. In this short book, David T. Irving motivates his fellow pastors to pray more for their people and their ministries.

Die Gebete in diesem Buch stammen aus dem größtenteils vergessenen Fundus puritanischer geistlicher Übungen und Meditationen. Sie bezeugen den Reichtum und die Farbe des puritanischen Gedankenguts und dessen Sprache, die einem wichtigen Teil des englischen religiösen Lebens eine lebendige Frömmigkeit eingehaucht hat. Es ist zu hoffen, dass ihre Veröffentlichung dabei helfen wird, der Vernachlässigung dieses riesigen Ozeans puritanischer Spiritualität entgegenzuwirken. Viele damalige Geistliche rieten ihren Versammlungen, private Gebetsgedanken zu Papier zu bringen und auszusprechen.

Through the prayers in the Bible we look into the profoundest issues of life and death, and the deepest longings of our own hearts. And we learn about the God to whom we pray. In this classic book on prayer, John White helps us listen to Abraham plead for Sodom and Gomorrah. We watch Jacob wrestle with the Angel of the Lord. We hear David confess his sin. We also see him dance before the ark of the covenant. We hear Hannah ask for a child. Finally, John White shows how Jesus' prayers on the cross present a model for facing our last hours as well.

God has given parents the privilege of shaping not just a human being but an eternal soul. Sometimes that responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to prayer. In Praying for Your Child from Head to Toe, bestselling author Sharon Jaynes helps us use the words of Scripture to pray over our children with intention.

In wondrous contrast to silent idols, the one true God speaks. He addresses his people in love, and it’s their great privilege to answer him in prayer. At its root, prayer isn’t mere self-expression or a prod to get a silent God to speak, but it is a learned skill to answer God’s initiating word in Christ. Through this thoughtful book, author and pastor Daniel J. Brendsel explains how responding to God can nurture prayerful engagement with Scripture, shape healthy rhythms among God’s praying people, and spur excitement for communion with God.

"Will you pray for me?" is a question pastors hear every day. But when have you heard a pastor ask that question for themselves? Frankly, it's rare. That was the question Thom Rainer asked his congregation. The response was overwhelming. Within two days, more than one hundred people committed to praying for him, and the church was transformed over the next year. Thom cannot imagine what would have happened if he hadn't overcome his initial reluctance to be that vulnerable with his congregation.

Too many Christians have settled for experiencing small doses of God's supernatural love. But what if your life was marked by an outpouring of His power, answered prayers, miracles, and victory? In this practical, eye-opening book, Dr. Kynan Bridges shows that this is exactly the life God designed you for—through Christ, you have the divine right to operate in the miraculous. Why? Because miracles are deliberate, redeeming, life-changing displays of God's love in action.

Träume und Visionen sind Instrumente, durch die Gott Ihre Sensibilität entwickeln will, um mit Ihm zu kommunizieren, damit Sie ein Bote, ein Jünger und ein Werkzeug sind, um Seinen Plan, Sein Ziel und Seinen Willen für die Menschheit auszuführen. Der Song “Bless Me Oh Lord” gesungen von Chey, am Ende der Predigt, gibt dem Zuhörer Gelegenheit, über die Predigt nachzudenken.

You don't have to wonder if God still speaks. He reveals Himself to everyone, without exception. The difference between God's people and all other people scattered over the face of the earth is this: When God speaks, His people listen. Join Greg Pruett as he teaches you how to develop extraordinary hearing—discernible guidance from God in your day-to-day life, based on the leading of the Holy Spirit within you.

Shellie Rushing Tomlinson believes we really can have a growing faith and know a surprising, sustaining joy despite the chaos of breaking news and a culture bent on erasing the Everlasting God. Seizing the Good Life takes the Gospel of John and teaches the listener how to believe and keep believing in our post-Christian world. We’re not meant to hold onto a dry faith with chewed-up fingernails. We can know peace and joy in the middle of our anxious and angry culture, and Seizing the Good Life is ready to lead the way!

If we call someone extravagant, we’re usually thinking about his spending habits and luxurious way of life. So to use that word for a homeless man who had only one change of clothes—an itinerant teacher who depended on others for food and shelter—seems a stretch. Yet Jesus was the most extravagant person who ever lived. Carole Engle Avriett invites you to redefine your notion of “extravagant.” In this study of ancient customs and ways of life, you’ll gain an understanding of the cultural context of the Scriptures and of twelve key characteristics of God's nature.

Spend the next 30 days reaching your community in prayer and learn what it means to be a Great Commission Christian. Pray & Go is a profound and easy-to-use tool that empowers church members to focus outward and learn how to pray regularly. It’s a 30-day journey of praying and going, waiting for God and then going outside the church’s four walls in obedience to Jesus’ command.

At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live, like a peek behind the veneer. As people of faith in a powerful God, we want to lift our faces to heaven to cry out or bury our face in our hands to whisper prayers. Either way we utter things like “God, please help,” “God, what are you doing?” “God, those people are terrible!” And we aren’t alone in those words we lift to heaven. In fact, our frustrating and exhausting experience with chaos, injustice, and corruption is much like that of the distressed prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament.

Although arguably one of the simplest aspects of Christianity, prayer is also perhaps the most neglected, overlooked, and malnourished part of the average Christian’s day and life. While praying quickly before food and with a congregation on Sunday and for an ailing relative may be common enough, J. C. Ryle truly, and with palpable heartfelt and genuine care, pushes those of faith to see their lack of serious prayer for the spiritual health crisis that it is.

As Christian parents, our deep longing is for our children to love Jesus, not just know about Him. Pray with Me illustrates that intentional prayer practices can guide our children toward an authentic relationship with God during their pre-K through tween years. This go-to for parents will also be a valuable discipleship resource for ministry leaders in guiding children and families to know Jesus and connect with God through powerful personal prayer.

As the world slips deeper into darkness, most Christians feel stuck, powerless to effect change. Yet changing the world—your world—starts with you, right where you are, with a heart full of fire for Jesus. Grounded in biblical teaching and drawing from his own renewal experiences, pastor and revivalist Glen Berteau emboldens you to get fed up with the ineffectual status quo, showing you how to ignite the supernatural power God has placed in you, be filled up with the Holy Spirit, get fired up for what God can do through you, and see beyond your current circumstance.

Der Autor dieses Hörbuches ist unbekannt. Doch der Hörer wird feststellen, dass er die Bedeutung des Gebets kannte. Weil Jesus Christus alle Macht im Himmel und auf Erden besitzt, forderte er seine Jünger immer wieder auf, alles in Seinem Namen zu erbitten. Der Autor nimmt diese Erkenntnis auf und wendet sie an. Er geht auf verschiedene Verheißungen ein, die Jesus auf das Gebet legt, und auf die Hindernisse, die wir uns immer wieder selbst in den Weg legen. Der kniende Christ wird in diesem Hörbuch ermutigt, den allmächtigen Gott anzubeten und zu verehren.

A Bíblia Sagrada apresenta a oração como um elo permanente de comunicação entre a criatura e o Criador. Trata-se, ao mesmo tempo, de uma manifestação de gratidão a Deus e de um meio de entregar-lhe anseios e inquietações bem como louvor, adoração, confissão e intercessão. Seu papel é relevante em qualquer momento e circunstância da vida.
