WORD OF LIFE: THE GREATEST POWER = PRAYER

Word of Life: The Greatest Power = Prayer
John Barnett
What did those who spent the most time with Jesus on earth remember about Him?
When He had returned to heaven, and His disciples were left to get the message out, they all confessed to the method they had learned, and had made the focus of their lives.

From those two streams flow the Word-filled prayers of godly husbands and wives, moms and dads. There is no greater power on earth that can ever be unleashed than the prayers of two hearts united with a holy passion for God, and the family that He has given to them.
What we pray about reflects what fills our hearts. When God fills us, His Word spills out in our prayers. The more we ...
