The "7 Greatest Prayer" Challenge

In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 it states "Pray continually." This is the key to faith and answered prayer.

Jesus challenges each one of His followers to pray continuously radical prayers. They can be short, but they cannot be weak. Do you have a passion to make a difference in your life, church, community, world and family? Do you have a longing to see Jesus return in glory as King of kings and Lord of lords, then you need to learn more about radical prayer. Praying contiuously in the right direction-to God through Christ Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit is the source of all answered prayer. This Sunday, Aug. 2, we as Crowley Family Fellowship will begin the challenge.

Once you begin to pray radical prayers in faith, the doors will open for great and wonderful things to happen. Your life will truly be transformed, and you will never be the same again. To develop a radical prayer life you need to practice praying the "7 Greast Prayers" we will study in our Sunday after luch Bible Study.

Many of the prayers of the church and of God's people are weak, empty, passion-less, vision-less and misdirected. And if we are really going to see God move, if we are really going to see God at work, if we are really going to see situations turned around and lives dramatically changed by the mighty hand of God then we really must step out of our lazy, careless prayer lives and start praying the "7 Greatest Prayers."

Are you are a prayer? Are you an interceder? We need to be a church and individuals who are continuously in prayer. We need to be a church and individuals serious about working with God over the bigger issues of this world. We need to be a church and individuals that starts praying continuously the "7 Greatest Prayers."

But let me just ask you. Do you believe in prayer? Do you really believe that prayer changes things? Or is prayer for you just some kind of ritual that you go through? Is it some kind of religious act you do because that's what you think you should do or was told to do? When you pray and pray, do you really believe that your prayers will achieve anything? Do you beieve in prayer? Do you believ in the power of prayer? Do you believe in the power of continuous prayer? "The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was continuous prayer that fetched the angel." Now I want to encourage you to start anew in your prayer life. Join me in the "7 Greatest Prayer" Challenge and let us see what God will do when we seriously pray "without ceasing." We are going to expect great things of God and experience great things from God." For further information on the "7 Greatest Prayer" Challenge contact Dr. James A.
