"Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear me." Psalm 55:17
"No man - I don't care how colossal his intellect - No man is greater than his prayer life."- Leonard Ravenhill
"If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it: get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again." - C. H. Spurgeon
"If you want a new personality, I'll tel1 you this: the on1y way to get it is to have a prayer life. You can't pray and be unclean; you can't pray and hold a grudge; you can't pray and have bitterness. We blame the devil so much, (but) many of us sabotage our own prayer lives. - Leonard Ravenhill
"Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us. As we engage in this communion with God more deeply and come to know the One with whom we are speaking more intimately, that growing knowledge of God reveals to us all the more brilliantly who we are and our need to change in conformity to Him. Prayer changes us profoundly.� - R. C. Sproul
"How do you learn to pray? (Well), how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? (No), you get down and you struggle. That's how you learn to pray. Prayer is our strength; Prayer generates strength; it generates vision; it generates power; and the devil will drive you away from the prayer closet more than anything" -Leonard Ravenhill
"Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things 'above all that we ask or think.'" - Andrew Murray
�The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts."- A. W. Tozer
"What is wrong with a Christian who possesses no spirit of prayer? No power with God? He is an infidel" - Charles Finney
"Our prayers lay the track down which God�s power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails." - Watchman Nee
"We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life is he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God within him, which is nourished not by food but by prayer...Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. -Oswald Chambers
"Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God." - Andrew Murray
"Prayer can never be in excess.� - C. H. Spurgeon
"The lack of obedience in our lives breaks down our praying�Disobedient living produces extremely poor praying. Disobedience shuts the door of the prayer closet. It bars the way to the Holy of Holies. No man can pray-really pray-who does not obey." E. M Bounds
"A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men." - Leonard Ravenhill
"Some people pray just to pray and some people pray to know God." -Andrew Murray
"... you do not have to be a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness, or subscribe to some sect or some cult to be deceived. You can subscribe to correct Christian orthodoxy and be as effectually deceived in the correctness of that credal statement as if you were embracing false doctrine. In fact, that kind of deception is the most devious and powerful of all because you think yourself correct. There is a need to know God, saints, a desperate need to know God, and He is waiting to be sought. He distinguishes that people, that generation that will ascend the holy hill of Zion, in Psalm 24, with clean hands and a pure heart, who have not given their souls to vanity by running to Toronto. But they are those who will ascend the holy hill and throw the bolt that opens the gate that the King of Glory might come in. He says, "This is the generation of them that seek Thee, that seek Thy face, O God of Jacob" (Ps. 24:6)." - Art Katz
The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history.� - Andrew Murray
This is just beautiful, RKF... out of all the things God has granted to man for survivial on earth, prayer is the most valuable gift of opportunity God has given to man to communication directly to, and with Him.
Prayer moves the hand of God in our favor when we talk with Him, and prayer moves people, places and things in our pathway, or out of our pathway when we humbly, yet boldly come before the throne room of grace to God in prayer.
This is a wonderful post! God bless you... :applause::glow:
I believe the following statements have NO BIBLICAL AUTHORITY AT ALL.

Me:
If prayer were to change anything,then the Moslem would be ruling this planet by now.
Prayer has no power,POWER BELONGS TO GOD.
Praying shows my dependance upon The Omnipotent,Omnipresent,And Omniscient GOD of All CREATION.
This Scripture should be understood as saying,
That which has been bound upon the Earth,has 'ALREADY' been bound in the Heavens.
That which has been loosed upon the Earth,Has 'ALREADY' been loosed in the heavens.
Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The Holy Spirit of GOD uses,tests,trials,and tribulations,to change me,and to show the unbelief within me.
These also reveal Yeshua within me,also.

ME:
Prayer 'NEVER,EVER'moves the hand of GOD.
GOD is moved along according to His Will.
If prayer moves the hand of GOD,then your prayer is mightier the EL-Shaddia.
Another post that has partial truth,and Where is the Scripture pertaining to this post.
George Shared ~ Prayer has no power,POWER BELONGS TO GOD.
*** Of course all power belongs to GOD...but if you believe Prayer has no Power then Obviously You do NOT know Who you are in Christ Jesus...WHY would Jesus teach His Deciples to Pray ifin it wasn't Powerful and for the Glory Of HIS Father ???...xo
John 14:11-13
11~ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12~ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, [[[ the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; ]]] because I go unto my Father.
13~ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
George you know , you just might be right about prayer not changing people... because I have prayed for you, and you STIIL HAVEN'T CHANGED!:ROFL::excited:...
But God has taught us to keep holding on to our faith, keep knocking , and seeking and asking Himn in prayr until we get a break-through... and themn stand back and watch the salvation of the Lord come to pass... so I plan to keep praying for you until God gets it all sorted out and lays out a plan for you, cuz, you are truly mixed up!!...
I realize that God as much wokr to do inside of you before deliverance can take place... I think right about now, God might be scratching His own head, pluzzled as to what He should do or which way He should go with clearing out your cobwebs in your mind... But you hold on...cuz, HELP IS ON THE WAY! :yay:
George, where in the misssst, do you get this stuff you post? Surly, it is not of God, so who are you talking to? This is why you have need to be in somebody's church because satan is doing a work in you, and God is not pleased... get it together man,...you denounce everything God says in His own word, based on your OWN conclusions and misunderstading of scriptures and how works in God's holy word... come out of your slumber.
George, you are bound in spiritual bondage, and I speak to that unclean spirit IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT YOU LOOSE THAT MAN AND LET HIM GO!
George your words have told on you again, you can not continually speak death and receive life and you continually refer to others that you yourself say are not right.
Wrong Thinking Always leads to Wrong believing And then the tongue releases the words of fear. The spiritual law work's whether we believe it does or not.
George, I NEED TO BE BOKEN? what in the name of the Lord does this mean? ...
PJ, you know George's own mouth condemns himself. It only shows his spiritual ignorance and bondage, and it doesn't matter who he would rather pray for him, and he had better hope those he would rather pray for him are indeed praying for him in the right things for spiritual deliverance, and should seek the fullness of conversion, born again from the inside out from above through the pwoer of the Holy Spirit.
George is empty and powerless, therefore, it does not matter what he has to say or if he rejects my prayers for him... what matter is that I be in obedience to what God says, and God says we are TO PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES, this way, God will heap coals of fire upon his heads...
George, has no idea what he speak out of both sides of his mouth...
George, here's my sincere prayer for you: May God forgive you of youR sins, and break YOU into pieces so that YOU might come to the light of God's truth and come to your senses unto repentce of YOUR sins! In Jesus mighty powerful name AMEN!:prayingf:
And IT SHALL BE DONE THIS DAY, AS THE LORD LIVES TODAY! AMEN, AND AMEN!

Me:
The last 4 sentences above,were placed by me to emphasis your insistance that you believe you are in control of the GOD of Creation.
ET,i have been readingi your posts and replies for some time,what i read and hear from you is that you have a Humanistic understamding of the OGD of Creation.
You and some here believe they are in contrlol of GOD,and that He is at YOUR beckon call,not the other way around.
Yes i believe you have not been broken.You are proud,arrogant,and have taken upon yourself a title which does not belong to you..
Your THEOLOGY,is all over the place,and you try to teach others,when you yourself need to be taught the things of GOD.
I ask you not to pray for me,as I would rather have the people of the GOD of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob praying with me,and for me.
People such as Thunder,Karl,Mr.Row,James,Ms.Marvel,and others who I understand KNOW,the King of Glory,and HIS WORD.
I understand this upsets you,yet i do not expect anything less from you.
I hope you arel trusting Yeshua to save you from the wrath of GOD against sin(s).
