God's Will is for US to Pray
This is from an excerpt from the book,
"How to Live & Not Die" by Norvel Hayes
God's Will is Praying.
Heaven does not come to earth cheap. It never has! It takes prayer.
Pray is a channel that God has provided so that a man can reach heaven and
see the things of heaven done on earth. God's will is praying, NOT just thinking
about something.
The most important decision you'll ever make isn't whether or not to go to col-
lege and get a decree. It's all right to do that --- I'm not knocking it. But it's a lot
more important for you to learn how to pray. Prayer isn't limited to anything. Learn
to pray & believe what you read in the Word…
When Saul of Tarsus was on the road to Damascus to drag Christians out of
their homes and haul them off to prison, God stopped him in his tracks. Then God
told Ananias to go to Saul,… "for, behold, he prayeth" (Acts 9:11). God sent
Ananias because Saul prayed!!!
Churches need to have people on their faces praying before God for 3-4 hours.
(End of excerpt)
During the 40-day FCFC Fast & Prayer, our pastors are giving us an opportunity
to do just that. Every Sunday during the Fast there will be prayer in the sanctuary
from 1-4 PM.
II Chron. 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them-
selves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I
hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
