Praying Hard

The past two Sundays at Church Alive we have been talking about Praying... Praying Hard. Here are some of my notes :

Greater prayer praying in tongues
Pastor Vannie Harrell

*1 Cor 14:18
*john 14 15 16 = Paul correcting speaking in tongues that's is OK TO DO
*that same Holy Spirit that spoke to Paul speaks to me NOW and breaks the bible down for me to understand . AWESOME!!!
*romans 8:26-27,28
* prov 20:27
*paul would not have written this had it been from the devil
* 1 corn 14:4
*1 corn 12. 9 different gifts listed
* if you are a control freak, you will struggle entering into this gift of tongues. {1 corn 14:4}
REASONS for people not speaking:
--the enemy has used down thru the centuries to push this gift away
--misuse and abuse of people doing this (speaking in tongues)
GOD GAVE US THIS GIft!!!

Pray hard
Pastor Carey Harrell

*It's going to cost you something in your life
*we have been taught formulas and quick answers then we become satisfied with a little answer
*history can be altered by your prayers
* sometimes the bigger things we ask God about take longer, it may NOT be a quick fix
* prayer is a form of dreaming, dreaming is a form of prayer
*persistence will require you to take a stand, it's not just to survive.
* prayer is the arena to bring the will of God to man kind to comfort obsticals.
