Like an army putting down their weapons and avoiding the battle, Christians are rendered powerless when they allow Satan to distract them from prayer. Bro. Jeff explains that we’ll get more done through prayer than through anything else. This powerful message will continue to bless every time it is heard.
Communication is key! Why is singing and speaking so important to the Church? What do we need to be sharing? Once again, Paul is our prime example; Bro. Jeff encourages us with Biblical truth, testimony, and thanksgiving.
“Praying is not a side issue; it is a central issue.” When Paul and Barnabas returned to the cities to visit believers, they prayed and fasted. Why is praying so important? Why is fasting so important? What are we missing out on when we don’t do these things? Bro. Jeff exhorts us to evaluate our priorities and provides Biblical answers to these questions.
“When our praise is not right, that is not a minor problem to be ignored, but a major problem to be explored.” Could our problem be a lack of gratitude? Could it be that we don’t really understand what the Bible says? These are two more problems explored by Bro. Jeff in this message.
Once we have gone through the door of salvation, God wants to bless us even more. Bro. Jeff continues to share here the blessings that come from stepping through the door of supplication and the blessings that come when we “stop playing and start praying.”
Prayer should be priority in a Christian’s life, and we often reveal the nature of our prayer life in our conversation. Bro. Jeff describes what a productive prayer life looks like, encourages us with Paul’s example, and makes the connection between prayer and forgiveness. Is there someone you need to forgive?

Christian, what do people usually hear from your lips? Adoration and praise for God, or anxiety and frustration with things of the world? Bro. Jeff encourages by sharing how to walk more closely with God.
In this powerful message, Bro. Jeff focuses on the good work God does in us, when we let Him.
