The Training Room has a real good work-out for those who wish to be Champions...
What do you think of E.M. Bounds commentary of a Prayer Champion giving their all to prayer and how does it line up with how we do prayer in the church today?
What of the biblical teaching Prayers the Great Ones Prayed:
Prayer of Jabez 1Chr 4:10
Solomon's dedication of the temple 2Chr 6 => God's Answer 2Chr 7:1,14
Jehoshaphat Prays for victory 2Chr 20
Job's Turning Point Job 42:1-6, and Victory Job 42:10
Hannah's Prevailing, Fasting, Weeping Surrender to God 1 Sam 1:1-28
Here is my take...
North American Christian's should stop worrying about prayer in public schools , court houses , so on and start worrying about pray actually happening in our churches, homes and "personal prayer closets"...the problem isn't with the world not praying enough, the problem is God's people are not praying enough. .
The Bible says that Jesus is our High Priest and that He intercedes before the Father day and night. The Bible also says we are called to a Holy, Royal Priesthood and that we are Kingdoom of Priests. What was the job of the priest in the old testament ...to intercede for the people, to offer sacrifce for the people and to stand before God on behalf of the people.
What do you pray for, who do you pray for? and are you standing before the Lord for others as you are called to do as a memeber of the Kingdom of Priests!
Did you know that the avg. North Americian watches 50 hours of TV a week, let alone surfing the net, yes that is right 50 hours!!!
Can you imagine if all the "Christians" humbled themselves and cried out to God in prayer.
I challange you join me and take 10% of your next week and pray. There are 168 hours in a week, so that is 17 hours to give the Lord His 10%...shut of the TV and pray, shut down the computer and pray, say no to golf and pray...pray, pray pray...your nation depends on it, your family depends on it and God is calling us to it-
In His Grace and Peace, Ian

- Daniel's Prayer for Revival and Restoration Dan 9
- Nehemiah's Prayer for Revival and Restoration Neh 1, Neh 2:1
- Ezra's prayer for the people's sins Ezra 9
Do you see similarities? What is the Lord revealing to us about our own world today and how we should be praying? What do these say to you personally? I will give you my thoughts about all three throughout the week, will you please do the same.
Lord please open our hearts and minds to your teaching, so that we may be great intercessors for you Kingdom-Ian
