The Hindrances to True Prayer, Part 14 (TPMD Bus 2 - #629)

TODAY'S POEM: "Power of Prayer" by Donna Word Chappell

Our prayer motivator passage from the Word of God today is Job 42:8 which reads: "Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job."

Our featured prayer motivator quote is from Bryan Chapell. He said: "To do anything in the Lord’s name means to do it for his purposes. When we pray in Jesus’ name, we are petitioning God to bring glory to Jesus and we are asking for his will to be done in everything so that he will be honored above all." 

My personal encouragement for you today is this: Pray, pray, pray: pray for yourself, pray for your neighbour, pray for those who are already saved, pray for our governmental officials; pray for souls to be saved. And if, perhaps you are not saved, pray and ask God to save your soul. God loves you more than you love yourself and He wants to save you, so that you can begin your own prayerful relationship with Him. The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” 

Our prayer motivator devotional today is titled "THE HINDRANCES TO TRUE PRAYER" part 14 from the book, "Purpose in Prayer" by E.M. Bounds. And, I want to remind you to take advantage of our special offer.

E.M. Bounds goes on to say:

The prayer habit is a good habit, but praying by dint of habit only is a very bad habit. This kind of praying is not conditioned after God’s order, nor generated by God’s power...
