Prayer, Character, and Conduct, Part 3

POEM: "God Answers Prayer" by Cindy Wyatt

Our prayer motivator passage from the Word of God today is Isaiah 38:5 which reads: "Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years."

Our featured prayer motivator quote is from Bill Johnson. He said, "If you come out of an intense prayer time more depressed than when you went, you weren’t interceding, you were complaining.”

My personal encouragement for you today is this: Prayer is like any other important discipline in the Christian life. If you don’t do it, you won’t reap the benefits and blessings that God wants you to have. If you want to reap the benefits and blessings of prayer, then you need to Just Pray! 

Our prayer motivator devotional today is titled "PRAYER AND CHARACTER AND CONDUCT” part 3 from the book, "Necessity of Prayer" by E.M. Bounds.

A product reflects and partakes of the character of the manufactory which makes it. A righteous Church with a righteous purpose makes righteous men. Prayer produces cleanliness of heart and purity of life. It can produce nothing else. Unrighteous conduct is born of prayerlessness; the two go hand-in-hand. Prayer and sinning cannot keep company with each other. One, or the other, must, of necessity, stop. Get men to pray, and they will quit sinning, because prayer creates a distaste for sinning, and so works upon the heart, that evil-doing becomes repugnant, and the entire nature lifted to a reverent contemplation of high and holy things.
