![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing.

I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]
A Man of Prayer Waits Constantly Before God and Intercedes for What’s on His Heart
![When Sarah (who was 90 years old) heard that God promised Abraham that she would have a son, she laughed. Humanly it is impossible for someone that old to still conceive.

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]

Have you ever wondered, What kind of prayers does God listen to and answer? As Christians we pray for a lot of things, but how do we know that God will listen to our prayers? In the Bible we see a very important principle concerning prayer: God will listen to our prayers if our prayers […]
Prayer is the Real Denying of the Self, the Real: No Longer I But Christ!

God needs men of prayer, men who habitually and continually pray by exercising their spirit to pray themselves into God and receive His life supply. Prayer is so full of meaning, it accomplishes so much, and it is so much overlooked and neglected! To pray really means that we as Christians realize that by ourselves, […]
Seeing the Pattern of the Lord Jesus as a Man of Prayer in the Gospels

For God to accomplish His will, He needs a people on the earth that would pray His will for Him to do it. God doesn’t need only “prayers once in a while, when we remember or when we are reminded by others” – God needs men of prayer. With Daniel as a man of prayer […]
The Prayer Ministry of the Church: Asking God to Accomplish what He Wants to Do
We have seen that the significance of prayer is to contact God in our spirit and to inhale Him, and the principle of prayer is that God’s people need to pray for God’s will to be done before God can rise up to do anything. I am still amazed to see that God, who is […]

Many believers and unbelievers alike are wondering why is God not more real to people today, why is the world so corrupted, why is every new generation being more degraded than going higher than the previous one, and why are there so many wars, crimes, and evil things happening. There is no general answer to […]
