Prayer Ministry

First Jesuit. First Latin American. And a new pope who chose as his first act a simple request: please pray for me. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, is a man of prayer, a man of action, and a humble man who has always promoted others over himself. His first year may not be an easy one, but neither this man nor the church itself has ever shied away from the challenges thrust upon them. Tirelessly fighting poverty and marginalization, he is a beacon of hope for the poor, persecuted sectors of the church.

In the book of Acts, through only song and worship, Paul and Silas shook the foundation and opened all the doors of the prison where they were held. Not only was the earth shaken, but also the spiritual world, as souls were saved that night, and the mighty name of Jesus was proclaimed in a destitute and avoided place. The often neglected and forgotten sector of prison ministry is an untapped potential power source in the current spiritual battle of today's dark times. Help me enlist and encourage the warriors and soldiers of God who can find purpose again in prison through prayer.

With specific principles and strategies to empower believers to combat demonic attacks and the temptation to return to old patterns, listeners will discover how to put on the full armor of God and develop a proactive strategy to maintain their deliverance, which includes removing everything from their lives that would give the enemy a legal right to put them back in bondage. Ruffin draws from her own experiences and gives specific strategies and warfare prayers to overthrow demonic plans, plots, and agendas to help Christians overcome the enemy.

We long to see firsthand the power of God as displayed in the Bible. Miracles, prophecy, dreams, healing - most of these tend to be missing from our normal, safe, predictable faith. Yet we tend to view any movement of God outside our own experience with mistrust and confusion. But what if we've got "normal" all wrong? In this audiobook is an invitation to a new way of living: embracing God's power through simple yet bold prayer. It's for the night owl, the caffeine-addicted, even the skeptic, beckoning all of us out of our comfort zones with stories of spiritual breakthrough, mind-blowing miracles, and physical healing.

One of the greatest strategies of the enemy is to convince you to give up on your faith. If he can't succeed at that, then his objective is to persuade you to settle for less than what God has planned for you. Don't give up when victory is just around the corner! For anyone who has ever felt like throwing in the towel, Dr. R. T. Kendall brings divine encouragement. Don't lose hope! Keep running the race. Not only can you finish, but you can also finish well. It's not over!

The Lord has wrought something in my life between 1990 and today, largely in the area of deliverance from sin, deliverance from self, deliverance from the love of the world, deliverance from the love of the things of the world, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and the knowledge of the Lord. I now feel that I can write the book, though with fear and trembling, and not from a position of perfection, but from the position of one who has received unmerited grace to write it.

We all long for homes where we can thrive and flourish. What does it take to have a spiritually vibrant household? Don Everts invites us to contemplate what the Bible says about households and consider what a new research project has revealed by pulling back the curtains on everyday households of faith. Original research from the Barna Group and Lutheran Hour Ministries shows that some of the healthiest, most vibrant homes extend beyond the nuclear family and include people that may not be biologically related but feel like family.

Prayer is one of those disciplines that we all know we should be doing more regularly and perhaps enjoying more than we are, but the reality is that it can be something even mature Christians find a struggle. Prayer doesn’t come naturally to most of us which can leave us feeling guilty, stuck in a rut, or far away from God. Julian Hardyman tackles head-on those questions we all have about prayer but feel we can’t ask. He gives us permission to be honest about how our prayer lives are going, and he provides fresh, practical ideas to help us to enjoy talking to our heavenly Father.

E. M. Bounds examines the importance of prayer in a Christian's life with this seminal book that is still studied widely today. Bounds, a former Army chaplain, directed his text at church leaders, but his musings can be useful for all Christians looking to revitalize their prayer life. He firmly believed that devoted prayer was at the root of a successful church ministry; he himself set aside three hours for prayer every morning. "The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men."

We all have a desperate need for God - not just for following him or being committed to him, but to be intimately connected to him. We long for purpose, for affirmation, for attention, for nurture. But Gari Meacham writes that we fall short of being desperate for God, or we miss the longed-for romance with God we hear about in scripture. We're uncertain how to distinguish our longings from our fears. When, says Meacham, did our longings turn to hauntings?
