Last week I had the joy of teaching on the great subject of prayer as we wrapped up the book of Ephesians and our series on spiritual warfare, “The Warrior.”
This morning I read these words about Jesus:
“But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” (Matthew 9:36-38 NKJV)
The kingdom advances through prayer. I am more convinced then ever about the importance of prayer in the life of a believer and in the life of a church.
A friend of mine who pastors a church that has grown quite rapidly was asked how it happened. His answer? “Prayer, bro!”
What would happen in your life and mine if we devoted ourselves to prayer?
Let’s find out! Lord, teach us to pray!
