The Atmosphere Of A Praying Church (2 of 6)
Series: Atmosphere
Frank Damazio
Introduction: The praying church is a Holy Spirit filled church. Wherever prayer is passionate, people are passionate. Prayer is the fire that burns up the dross and refines our spirit. Prayer is the power that moves the people of God forward into the mighty works of God. Prayer surrounds everything, is under, over and around everything. Prayer is the air we breathe. Our burden is to always have a powerful prayer atmosphere. E.M. Bounds said, "The secret of success in Christ's kingdom is the ability to pray. The one who can wield the power of prayer is the strong one, the holy one in Christ's kingdom. The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray."
