Session 2: Pastor Phil Pringle
Praying and reading the bible is important but living life without friends is ridicules!
2 Chron 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
How to seek the Lord?
It’s about praying! Seeking by faith! Not just coming to God with our prayer list, but to get His attention!
James 5:13
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
Sometimes we give excuses to say that we will pray later in the day but yet we don’t do it. Prayer is the foundation of the kingdom of God, the breakthrough! Prayer out live the life of people. Till our prayer is answered, we should not lose heart! Faith is prayer without ceasing!
Ask God, what should I not do so that I can do more? Prayer is a powerful weapon that we have in our hands!
James 5:16-18
Confess your trespasses[e] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Effective prayer is warfare! When a man comes to Christ, most of the time 90% of the family will come to the Lord. The man on fire will reach the man in the world. So the catergory of people who are on fire in the church will bring revival to the category of man in the world. We got to keep speaking and speaking and speaking to the subject!
The first mode of language is not for communication, but for creation! When God first said, “Let there be light!” He is not speaking to someone else but He is speaking into creation! What is in our spirit? What are we on fire for? Let’s turn the fire on! The root of our fire can turn us into powerful people! And in every arena of the world we are able to get the anointing of Elijah, to out run any man!
Challenge: go home and shut your door to seek Him! He is the beginning and the end!
Psalm 23:1-3
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
We need the fresh oil for the new things, some of us are running on the old oil and we are running dry. When Samuel is anointing the new king, he asked for David, a man who was playing the harp, small in size. They sent out everyone to out into the fields to find him and when he came back into the house, he saw Samuel standing there with a horn of oil. As the oil flow down from his head, he saw the vision of God coming upon him. Every time he faces a pressure, he remembers the day that the oil was pour forth over him and he writes God a psalm.
Some of us need the fresh oil of Hod to touch us once again. Whatever it is that have disconnected us from the Lord, let it go. Put our face towards Him and make Him more important then our work; our company politics; money etc. Tell him that all that is in us cries out to Him! That He is the Lord of our lives, more important than anything!
The place of agreement is a place of power!
