In Dan 6:10, after Darius signed a decree forbidding prayer to God, Daniel “kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” Daniel had a custom of praying three times a day. Daniel had a prayer life. Likewise,...
This week, I have had two conversations with people who have expressed a sincere interest in what they could “do” for God. We have been instructed in James to be doers of the word, and not hearers only. The nature of many Christians is that they want to do something...
Eph 6:10-18 is a passage we have preached and taught several times. It’s about the whole armor of God. The purpose of this armor is to protect us from the devil in a fight. He’s trying to knock us out and we are to stand therefore. In Eph 6:10, the...
Last Wednesday, Pastor Randy showed us that prayer puts God’s work in God’s hands. God is in heaven with open hands waiting for us to pray. He is ready to answer if we will just pray. In the Bible we find three things to do when you pray. We are...
The Law of Prayer James 4:2 “…Ye have not, because ye ask not.” The last seven words of James 4:2 provide a perfect place to discover the Law of Prayer. The God and creator of ALL, subjects Himself to the prayers of men! Separate prayer from man and prayer has...

Acts 12 records a distressing time for the church. Herod had killed James, the brother of John, and had imprisoned Peter, intending to kill him. Notice the response of the church. They prayed. Acts 12:5 says, “prayer was made.” Look at that word “made.” They did it. They accomplished it. ...
Right now, across the United States, governments are restricting public and private gatherings. Texas Government Code, Section 418.108, authorizes the mayor and the county judge to control ingress, egress, movement, and premises-occupancy, as an emergency power. As of today, public gatherings are being limited to less than 50 people in...
In Ps 143:8, twice David said to the Lord “Cause me.” To cause is to make it happen. He said, “Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning.” And he said, “Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk.” By searching for the phrase “cause me,”...
