150. You can always call on the Lord & through Him have power over everything.

152. In prayer, it's the attitude of our hearts that counts, not the position of our bodies!
153. If our hearts are on their knees in humility, prostrated before the Lord, & our minds are centered on Him, that's what counts!
154. You don't have to be on your knees physically, if you're on your knees in the Spirit!--But it helps!
155. Quote Scripture when you pray. Hold God to His Promises.
156. There's always hope if there's love & prayer!
157. God's business has always been communication.--The Lord's communication with man & man communication with Him.--His giving the message, the Word, & man receiving it!
158. I think maybe the Lord allowed radio to be invented for a lot of reasons, including to demonstrate prayer & spiritual communications.
159. Don't hesitate to use the name of Jesus. Make the subject pray in the name of Jesus & say the name of Jesus & ask to be delivered in the name of Jesus, again and again.

176. An awful lot depends on us, our prayers & what we want done! A lot of people have a lazy attitude & seem to think the Lord will do it all no matter what.--But the truth of the matter is, a lot depends on us.
177. He wants us to show concern and pray about a situation. If you really believe, every prayer is heard and answered--but if you don't pray, it is not done. An awful lot depends on you.
178. He often answers before you call--because He knows you're going to.
179. The very intensity with which you pray and really mean it or desire it is reflected in the answer.
180. Prayer depends on three factors: Your position, God's position and the position of the other persons for whom you're praying. You don't control it completely and God has specifically limited Himself not to control it completely , but to let it be affected by your position and their position.
181. Who knows the Will of God?--All we can do is pray and expect some kind of an answer.
182. Demand and expect an answer! He has promised it! I know He'll not fail, He cannot deny Himself! He is bound by His Word. Remind Him of it, cling to His promises, memorize and quote them continually and never doubt for a moment that God is going to answer--and He will! He has to! He wants to! Trust Him and thank Him for the answer, even if you don't see it immediately. For behold, the trying of your faith is much more precious than gold!
183. You determine you're going to pray more, and then you desperately cry out to God and boom! Boom! Boom! The Holy Spirit goes to work right away and you begin to see some action!

186. The Lord's answers to prayer are infinitely perfect, and they will show that often when we were asking for a stone that looked like bread, He was giving us bread that to our shortsightedness looked like a stone.
187. What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear,
What a privilege to carry,
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear!
--All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
188. I will direct my prayer as an arrow, and after that "I will look up," to see if it has hit. When the prayer is directed in the morning, the "look up" lasts all day. ( Psa.5. )
189. Prayer is the opening of a channel from your emptiness to God's fullness.
190. The greatest undeveloped resource is faith; the greatest unused power is prayer.
191. I like to get down on my knees and pray when I get desperate enough. It's a good position for your body as well as your heart!
192. Get together first of all in prayer and praise the Lord and get in the Spirit and pray desperately that God will use you! Get down on you hands and knees, old-fashioned prayer meeting style, and beg the Lord and cry out to the Lord like the Prophets and the Apostles and the men of God of old and plead with God to help you to be melted together in his Love.
193. When you pray against somebody, you're cursing them.
194. Prayer is not a ritual, but a relationship.
195. Shutting your eyes helps you to see in the spirit and to become unconscious to the things and people around you, and to get your mind on the Lord and in a relaxed position where nothing distracts you.
196. God likes you to be specific. He likes you to tell Him exactly what you want, because He likes to know really what you've got the faith for.
197. Sometimes the Lord just lets us have a problem in order that He can give us the answer!
175. The Lord leaves a lot to us & your concern & prayer. If you only cry with half a heart you only get half an answer. If you stir yourself, then God will stir Himself.

197. Sometimes the Lord just lets us have a problem in order that He can give us the answer!
198. The Lord likes us to find out we can't always solve all our problems and that we need His help! If we could figure it all out and solve all our problems, we wouldn't need Him.
199. All the answers are simple for the Lord and all the solutions are easy for Him!
200. If you forget to pray, that's almost as bad as not wanting to pray because you're not willing to admit that you don't know the answers and that you have to ask for them.
201. You ought to try a little prayer time early in the morning before your day's work every day. Asking the Lord for the solution to problems is the easiest way in the world to get them. Don't think, "It's hard to pray and I haven't got time to pray, it's a waste of time to pray, blah blah."--If you spent a little more time praying you'd spent a Hell of a lot less time working a getting it done! It's just that simple.
202. The Lord loves to give you the answer. He knows exactly what to do and how to do it, so why don't you ask Him instead of going to all the trouble of trying to figure it out yourself?

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

230. MAT.6:6-13 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

As hurricane Helene made its way across Western North Carolina, it took with it the lives of many beloved people. It destroyed homes, crumbled infrastructure...
O you poor and silly and thoughtless andunreflecting and senseless Galatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom—right before your very eyes—Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?
2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the [Holy] Spirit as the result of obeying the Law and doing its works, or was it by hearing [the message of the Gospel] and believing [it]? [Was it from observing a law of rituals or from a message of faith?]
3 Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [Holy] Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?
4 Have you suffered so many things andexperienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)—if it really is to no purpose and in vain?
5 Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous [Holy] Spirit and works powerfully and miraculously among you do so on [the grounds of your doing] what the Law demands, or because of your believing in and adhering to and trusting in and relying on the message that you heard?
6 Thus Abraham believed in and adhered to andtrusted in and relied on God, and it was reckoned and placed to his account andcredited as righteousness (as conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action).
7 Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be blessed.
9 So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing andtrusting Abraham.
10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them.
11 Now it is evident that no person is justified (declared righteous and brought into right standing with God) through the Law, for the Scripture says, The man in right standing with God [the just, the righteous] shall live by and out of faith and he who through and by faith is declared righteous and in right standing with God shall live.
12 But the Law does not rest on faith [does not require faith, has nothing to do with faith], for it itself says, He who does them [the things prescribed by the Law] shall live by them [not by faith].
13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);
14 To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit.
15 To speak in terms of human relations, brethren, [if] even a man makes a last will and testament (a merely human covenant), no one sets it aside or makes it void or adds to it when once it has been drawn up and signed (ratified, confirmed).
16 Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah).
2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the [Holy] Spirit as the result of obeying the Law and doing its works, or was it by hearing [the message of the Gospel] and believing [it]? [Was it from observing a law of rituals or from a message of faith?]
