How to Pray

Two people went to pray - but only one prayer worked.  How are we to pray?  What hinders prayer?
Will our prayer be marked with humility, and from the heart?  How to pray - so that God hears you.

God Manifested

An encounter with the invisible God, Who has made Himself known.  He is not far removed or hidden away.  He visits us.  His presence is evident, with His worshiping people.  God is manifested, in the Glory cloud and firey pillar.  He is manifested in the flesh - in the Person of Jesus Christ.  And He is manifested today in the Body of Christ, the church of which He is its driving force.

Receive the Word

A library in one volume, with great power. It's the Bible. Take it in humility, and it will work faith, peace, and power. There's light, victory, healing, and ultimately salvation in its message. Appreciate its authority, its sufficiency, its promises, and its application. Be a doer of the Word!

Purity of the Church

God's design is for His church to be built after His Pattern.  The strength of the church is its purity in doctrine and practice.   It's amazing how God uses fallible people to be His living stones to build His church. I love the church!  Thank God, He uses the imperfect to be His own special people, the called out.

Legalism

What does it really mean?  What legalism is, and what it is not.  Legalism is a 'label' that people can misunderstand and misuse.  Legalism is works.  The key is understanding Grace, which is our ultimate aim, and recognising the basis and source of Authority for our lives.  Seeking to truly obey the Lord is Biblical and right.  That's not legalism.  Check your motivation.  There's a liberty that comes when pleasing God is our driving force.  It's not a yoke of bondage, but a freedom and a joy.    Grace teaches us and liberates us.  It sets us free in Christ.

Worship

WORSHIP IN SONG Instructions by John Wesley

THAT this part of divine worship may be more acceptable to God, as well as more profitable to yourself and others, be careful to observe the following directions: 1. SING ALL See that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can. Let not a slight degree of weakness or weariness hinder you. If it is a cross to you, take it up, and you will find a blessing. 2. SING LUSTILY AND WITH A GOOD COURAGE Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being, heard, than when you sung the songs of satan. 3. SING MODESTLY Do not bawl, so as to be heard above, or distinct from, the rest of the congregation, that you may not destroy the harmony; but strive to unite your voices together, so as to make one clear melodious sound. 4. SING IN TIME Whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before, nor stay behind it; but attend closely to the leading voices, and move therewith as exactly as you can. And take care you sing not too slow. This drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and it is high time to drive it out from among us, and sing all our tunes just as quick as we did at first. 5. ABOVE ALL, SING SPIRITUALLY Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing Him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to this, attend strictly to the sense of what you sing; and see that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve of here, and reward when he cometh in the clouds of heaven.
