Prayer Power: The Power That Counts - Jerry Leachman
What happens when we truly understand the power and privilege of prayer? In this encouraging and challenging message, Richard's guest, Jerry Leachman calls believers to take their prayer lives seriously—not as a religious exercise, but as direct access to the God who created and rules the universe. Drawing from Scripture, personal experiences, and powerful stories from history, Jerry reminds us that praying in the name of Jesus is powerful, that God looks for a sincere and humble heart, and that forgiveness is essential to a life of effective prayer warrior. He shares practical ways to develop a consistent prayer life, including keeping a prayer list, using short “breath prayers,” and asking the Holy Spirit to guide us when we don't know what to pray. Above all, this message is a call to trust God even when we cannot see what He is doing. As Jerry's closing story reminds us: sometimes we cannot see God, but He can see us. The question is, will we trust Him enough to jump? 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us, "If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." >>Get Jerry Leachman's new book!
