One of the first great intercessors in the Bible was Abraham, and his most famous intercessory prayer was for one of the most sinful places in the ancient world! Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with sin, sexual debauchery, and sodomy, yet the great Patriarch of Israel, the “father of faith,” interceded passionately that those twin cities of sin be spared! I believe it was this kind of compassion that led God to say, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?” (Genesis 18:17 NASB) Following in the Footsteps of Abraham When God told Abraham that He planned [...]

The Beauty of the Lord! I sense the intense desire of the Holy Spirit to take a whiskbroom and dust off some of The Lost Treasures of the Body of Christ and present them as brilliant gems to gaze upon. Like a spiritual archaeologist or perhaps something like a modern day “Indiana Jones” of the fabled movies, let’s search thru the treasure chest of God and church history and bring these jewels to the forefront once again. Madame Jeanne Guyon, in her classic book, Experiencing God through Prayer, preserved great treasures for us from the past and we get to bring them [...]

LESSONS FROM THE MORAVIANS A Prayer Meeting that Lasted 100 Years by Leslie K. Tarr FACT:  The Moravian community of Hernnhut, Saxony, in 1727, commenced an around-the-clock “prayer watch” that continued non-stop for over a hundred years. FACT:  By 1792, 65 years after commencement of that prayer vigil, the small Moravian community had sent 300 missionaries to the ends of the earth! Could it be that there is some relationship between those two facts? Is fervent intercession a basic component in world evangelization? The answer to both questions is surely an unqualified “yes.” The heroic eighteenth century evangelization thrust [...]

FIVE INGREDIENTS OF THE CONTEMPLATIVE – MEDITATIVE STATE Biblical Exhortation Concerning Physical Calm Hebrews 4:9-11 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience. Hebrews 3:18,19 And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? And so we see that they were not able to enter because of [...]
