Thank you for tuning in today. My name is Frankie Mazzapica. The title of the message is "Before You Pray". Before You Pray. Let me just springboard straight into the verse that we're gonna build the entire message off of, and if you want [...]

How many of you believe in the power of prayer? Raise your hand up. How many of you don't pray as much as you ought to? Raise your hand up. Yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you. Why don't we pray more? I don't know the answer. Sometimes we offer up what [...]

Our greatest comfort, our source of joy, our greatest peace come from knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ in heaven, right now, the glorified Jesus, is interceding on behalf of his children. Right now, this very moment, as we are sitting in this [...]

We've been talking about the biblical paradoxes have run counter to media and culture at large in our society. This cultural sweep runs contrary to so many of the biblical principles, and today we're gonna see another one of those points of tension, [...]

There is a principle that runs throughout the Scripture, that runs contrary to everything in our culture. That means it runs contrary to everything you learn in schools. It runs contrary to everything you see on television, in the media in general. [...]

Most of us would testify to the fact that at some point in our lives have experienced delay to answers, prayer, or experience no answers to prayer. You may be going through that now. Some have received answers they did not ask for. Depending on the [...]

Charles Spurgeon, one of my great heroes, said the following, and I'm going to quote him. He said, "Though grace does not run in the blood, and regeneration is neither in the blood nor birth, yet it does very frequently happen that God, by [...]

I think most of us, if not all of us, at some point, have stood in front of a proverbial fork in the road, and wondered, "Lord, which way"? We are looking through the effectual prayers of the saints in the Bible, of all the New Testament, [...]

Some of you remember when I shared with you the vision for asking a hundred thousand people to pray across the land, and you were the first ones to join the team, and to pray and prayed for our nation. And I heard so many incredibly encouraging [...]

Prayer is a seed We talked about, and I'll talk to you about flying as a discipline. And safety is an attitude. Prayer is a discipline. And faith is an attitude. Prayer doesn't make faith work. Faith makes prayer work. Prayer void of faith... [...]

Begin the application of faith confession before you have it. Believe you receive when you pray. Hebrews 4:11 Hebrews, in my opinion, other than Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is the most important book in the Bible. 4:11 "Let us labour therefore [...]

Open your Bibles with me. First Timothy, chapter two. Now there are... There are prayers. You know, there's the prayer of faith and the prayers that change things. But there are prayers of responsibility. And this needs to be understood. Look at the [...]

So now let's go back to the book of Mark once more. There's something here that I want to bring out. And in the 11th chapter, we'll just start here in the 11th verse, "Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple and looked around about [...]

You think a prayer checklist isn't important, and there are steps to it. There are biblical covenant items that must not be left out. My mother got tired of praying for me. And open your Bibles to First Peter Chapter five, and I'll show you what she [...]

Take your Bibles and find the book of Daniel chapter 9. And as you're turning, may I tell you that our nation is in crisis. Prayer is our greatest resource. God is our sure defense and our hope. The prophet Daniel is our guide today because Daniel [...]

Would you take your Bibles and open to Second Chronicles chapter 7 and verse 14. You will recognize that verse as a time-worn verse. We've heard it over and over again, but we must, in these days, revisit that verse. I wonder if the American dream [...]

Welcome to the 37th episode of, "Think Like a Champion". This podcast is dedicated to helping you win in every way and enjoy every day. And we are evolving as people, were evolving as a ministry, we're evolving as a church. What started [...]

Many of us have been ripped off. The enemy has successfully stolen from us that which God has intended for us. Many of us are living lives under the cloud of spiritual theft. He perpetually has stolen our joy. He perpetually steals our [...]

Our series is called "Reclaiming Your Spiritual Authority". The reason why we call it your spiritual authority is because part of our goal through this series, I want you to get a handle on up there and how it affects down here so that you [...]

"O Lord, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice." - Psalm 141:1–2, NIV Isn't it wonderful to think [...]

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. - Psalm 122:6 KJV God requires all His people from every nation, every background, to be concerned about the peace of one particular city. That city is Jerusalem. Those words of [...]

What a mighty God we serve. Turn to Romans chapter 8 and a classic verse on praying in the Spirit. Romans chapter 8 verses 26 and 27. And as you're turning to that, let me say that prayer is the greatest Christian privilege. Secondly, prayer is the [...]

Take your Bibles and turn to Daniel chapter 9, and when you've found it, look up here and let me tell you that this God-blessed America of ours is at a crossroads. Back in the year 2000, we had an election, and we went through a thirty-six day [...]

This is an excerpt from: God's Got Your Back - Part 1 "Why didn't you say something sooner? Why didn't you call me over here after four days? I would have been happy to help you if you had said something sooner". Or I'll tell Holly, [...]

Our culture is thoroughly confused about what prayer is and what prayer is not. Prayer is some sort of a magic words that you use in order for a genie to appear. And when a genie appears, you ask what you want from the genie, and the genie would [...]

Be finding the book of James. It's back toward the back of the New Testament. And turn to chapter 4. I remind you of what you ought to already know: that prayer is the Christian's greatest privilege. And alas, alas, it is so often our greatest [...]

So we'll start with just a few seconds of giving thanks and then I'm going to pray a prayer of repentance, and if that's your place, you agree in your heart, say, "Lord, that's me, I'm sorry. I will change my attitude, change my direction, [...]

It's a privilege to be with you today. We're gonna continue our series on "Effective Prayer". You know, for the most part, we don't pray. We leave it as a religious ritual or something that's a part of formal religious service. I have come [...]

You know, when I was a child, from time to time my mom would bake something. Chocolate cake, cherry pie. Put that sucker on the counter. I think it was a form of torture. 'Cause I was a very perceptive child, and I would recognize that as a [...]

It's a privilege to be with you today. We're continuing our study on "Effective Prayer". We're gonna talk about alignment with God. You know, it's really popular in the culture today to suggest that God's a little out of date, that there [...]

I wanna begin with an idea that it seems to me is very much in question in the hearts of people who occupy churches. And it is this very simply, that prayer is an expression of the power and the authority of God, that there is a power and an [...]

Now, how do we understand the opposition? It's as complex as you and I are. There's not a single answer. The best way I know to summarize it from what Scripture invites us towards is to think of the opposition in three ways. The world, the Scripture [...]

It's an honor to be with you again. Our topic is effective prayer. Jesus said something really startling to his closest friends just prior to his crucifixion, before his passion began, he said it was better for them if he left because if he left, [...]

Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and welcome again to "Pathway to Victory". Can you imagine being locked up in prison for telling others about Jesus? Today, we're going to learn about a 1st century Christian who found himself behind bars for [...]

I read a book recently and it had a title, "The Man Who Won't Go Away". When a person dies and I have to break the news to you, 'cause we're all going to die. But when a person dies, it's sad in a way, but almost immediately, we start [...]

Aren't you glad God doesn't always give you what you pray for? The prophet Elijah became so discouraged as he fled from the wrath of the wicked queen Jezebel, that he requested for himself that he might die (1st kings 19:4). It's a good thing God [...]

Good morning, you guys, and to those watching online, those that are watching by television. One of the things that goes with the territory of being a pastor is I field a lot of tough questions from people that attend church. And I got a text out of [...]

Well, today actually is 15 years ago, the day we started this church. And I want to tell you, take myself back in that period of time because it represents one of the biggest struggles and biggest challenges I've ever faced in my life. I was in an [...]

The enemy is ramping up his attacks on believers because he knows his time is short. My guess discovered the most supernatural prayer in the Bible. It's so powerful, it will put up an impenetrable wall of Glory around you. It's your ultimate [...]

The Bible is not a book of pristine, perfect people from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible's not a book of perfect people, pristine people, people that always got it right. The Bible is a book of people who prayed. And via the conduit of their [...]
