What will be our response? Will we despair and say that God doesn’t answer prayer, or that x group of people didn’t pray enough? Will we be offended and shake our fist at God, claiming He didn’t come through for us?
I was impressed with IHOP-KC’s response within minutes of Obama’s victory. They interrupted the last [...]

It’s been a good challenge for me to sit down and consciously think about how I pray. I certainly didn’t intend for the series to last so long! I hope that some of my insight, experiential knowledge, or simple steps have helped you and lifted some of the mystery of prayer.
In conclusion, I just wanted [...]
Série de Prière: Intercession (Part 1)

I’ve left the most complex subject for last. I’m timid about defining intercession for three reasons: a) people I respect disagree with my definition, b) hundreds of thousands of intercessors have gone before me and must know much more than I, and c) because there is so much to be said. But the rule is [...]

“God [is] Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24
What is it?
I’m not here to talk about the Eucharist, though that’s a good form of communion too. The word “communion” simply means sharing something in intimate fellowship/friendship. The kind of communion I am talking about is the internal relationship [...]
Série de Prière: Contemplation

Contemplative prayer is my favorite type of prayer. When people write about contemplative prayer, they usually refer to the old Catholic saints like St. John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Madame Guyon. These people are called “mystics”; I don’t prefer the term because of the Catholic affiliation, but I do like to call [...]
Série de Prière: Waiting

There’s something very special about waiting prayer. When practiced with the right motives, it can become the core of your prayer life — and a very important part at that.
What is it?
Waiting prayer is taking time to be still before the Lord. This concept is repeated over and over again in Scripture (Ps. 25:5, 25:21, [...]
Série de Prière: Meditation

What is it?
While Eastern meditation attempts to empty the mind, this kind of meditation is an attempt to consume it with God. Biblical meditation is setting yourself before the Lord to receive revelation from His Word. The purpose is to receive more of the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5 says how to get the knowledge [...]

I want to get a huge factor out of the way before I continue this series on prayer: distraction.
Humans are weak — I live in a community of people who pray for a living and this issue comes up over and over again. We live such fast-paced lives (internally and externally) that when we try [...]
