(Clip) The Blessing And Importance Of Prayer — Bill McLeod

Prayer and the Fullness of the Spirit's Love

For the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the for the love of the Spirit. That you strive together with me the word really means agonize in your prayers to God for me. Now he's saying something there that needs to be picked up and it's this that in some way When we get totally committed in the area of prayer the love of the Spirit is Manifest in fullness in our heart and life.

God's Power, Love, and the Help of Prayer

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a disciplined mind. The love of God is poured out or shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us but prayer.

You also helping together by prayer. Did you ever notice in Job chapter 42 at what point God set Job free from all his problems? He said I am made to possess wearisome months of vanity and when did it all in.

Job's Deliverance Through Prayer for His Friends

The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends and You and I will find the same thing that there will be times When we're interceding with a heart filled with love and faith. For some brother or sister or some Christian work and while we're doing that for others God does something special for us.

Making Prayer the Principal Thing

In our heart and an army you also helping together by prayer. You know Christian people I say this kindly most of us don't believe that at least many of us don't. If we did we pray more. We would make prayer the principal thing.

The Apostles' Priority of Prayer and the Word

Like the Apostles we admire them great men of God great preachers Spirit-filled great men of prayer. They said we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. But We do it the other way around we'll give ourselves continually to the ministry of the Word and if we have time we'll pray.

But that's not what the Bible says. I Read of some churches.
