7 Ways to Make the Devil Flee 7 Ways
When you are living in covenant with God, you can stand on the blessings of Deuteronomy 28. One of them deals specifically with spiritual warfare: “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you...
What Is the Real Reason We Don’t See Revival?
Year after year I hear the same prayers rising to heaven from many denominations, flows and camps across the body of Christ: "God, pour out your Spirit. Send revival." Yet, that fervent prayer seems to be ineffective. What gives?
Effective Fervent Prayer
Are you praying earnestly? fervently? effectively? Are you praying at all? If ever there was a time when our nation needed prayer, when your friends and family need prayer, it's now. Look around you and you'll see prayer needs everywhere. Prayer changes things. In...
Are You Praying for Your Nation?
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2) I...

Awakening to the Biblical Mandate for Night and Day Prayer

Do Prayer Rallies Really Do Any Good?
