The Preacher and Prayer
by E.M. Bounds

We are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to divise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. - E.M. Bounds

Dealing with the Root

Jesus gave commandment regarding what place God should have in our hearts: “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these” Mark 12:29-31.

I Humbled My Soul with Fasting

We are living in a day when our nation has turned from God’s standard of morality and Biblical holiness. As Christians, our response must be brokenness and humility. David knew this to be the proper heart attitude as he said when compassed about by the wicked, “I humbled my soul with fasting” Ps 35:13. God confirms this in Isaiah 57:15 which says “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

Praying the Scripture: Psalm 119:1-12

Praying through the Scripture is an excellent way to commune with God. What better words could we choose to express to our Father than the very Words He has given to us. As you read the Word, God is speaking to you. When you pray, you are speaking to God.

Praying the Scripture: The Sermon on the Mount, Parts 1-3

The Psalmist prayed, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).
One of the most searching portions of God’s Word is the “Sermon on the Mount.” Allow God to search your heart as you:

Priorities of a Revival Ministry

Priority of Cleansing: "INWARD" Aspect of Revival:
This is the time of heart-searching and brokenness before God as people deal with sin and self-centeredness to be filled with the fulness of God. (II Chron. 7:14; Ps. 41; Prov. 28:13; I Jn. 1:9)
The time of heart-searching and brokenness before God over sin is implemented by the preaching and individual response for "personal revival." The prayer room and invitation provide opportunities to respond.
