Rebuilding the Broken Family Altars in our Homes

One of the greatest privileges available to the believer is the ability to communicate with our divine creator through the discipline of prayer.  The Lord desires to establish a relationship with His people.  In order to have a relationship there must be communication.

Prayer has been a neglected discipline in the Church today.  Most believers struggle with prayerlessness.  Perhaps one of the most common sins today is the sin of prayerlessness.  When we fail to pray we become weak and anemic spiritually.  We open a door and give access to the enemy into our lives.

The Bible defines the Church as a “House of Prayer.”  We must transition from being a Church that prays and become a “House of Prayer.”  Your family and home should be defined as a “Home of Prayer.”  Prayer must saturate our lives and become a part of everything we do as people of God. 

We are living in the last days and we are in what the Bible defines as perilous or dangerous times.  I want to encourage you to join with me in the month of November in praying together as a family.  Someone has wisely said, “The family that prays together stays together.”  God wants your family to be strong, your children and grandchildren to have a loving relationship with Him.  He wants you to have your needs supplied financially and emotionally.  He has a plan for your life and wants you to realize your destiny as individuals. 

We are too busy.  We must set time aside to pray for one another’s health, well-being and safety.  You have the responsibility to teach your family to pray.  We must rebuild the broken family altars in our homes.

We are designating November as a month to "Pray Together."  Every Monday night we are encouraging the families of our church to gather for prayer together at the family altar at 9 PM.  To encourage you we are scheduling conference call prayer times for the following dates:

Wednesday nights, November 4, 11, and 18 at 9:00 PM.  For more information go to http://www.kingswaycc.org/calendar.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...
