In last month’s lesson, Prepare for Prayer, we looked at how important it is for our minds and born-again spirits to be in agreement before we begin to pray and intercede for others. Verses were offered for contemplation, which can help increase the level of intimacy with the Lord, as well as the effectiveness of [...]
When I wrote last month’s Prayer Nugget, I had no idea there would be a second part. In fact, up until the middle of last week, that still had not crossed my mind, especially considering that God had already given me what I considered were His thoughts for beginning our new year. But God had [...]
In the wake of the recent news by which the devil wants to steal from, kill, and totally destroy the church of the Living God, I have ached as I pray for all those affected. In 1 Corinthians 12:26, we see that when one member of the body of Christ hurts, the whole body is [...]
Help us to die to ourselves more and more and more that Your Holy Spirit will have complete freedom to pray through us on behalf of the people You so love. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Do you remember this little prayer from the end of last month’s Prayer Nuggets? It seems that I still need [...]

I’d been keeping up with Charley and Bonnie, to a certain extent, because my son was ready to drive from North Carolina to Texas, and the storms were determining the route he would take. Also, my [...]
In many places in the Bible, we are told to wait for the Lord, and it’s not just talking about His return. For example, in Psalm 40:1, David says, “I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.” This would make you believe, and rightly so, that [...]
In the middle of the night not long ago, I had a vivid, realistic, and disturbing dream about someone close to me. It woke me up and left me feeling that I must pray right then for them. The longer I prayed, the more wound up in my flesh I became. Finally, I realized that [...]
What do you do when you pray for someone who is in any kind of need? Actually, the better question would be, “What are you thinking as you pray for that person?” Do you have the Father’s viewpoint of that person when you pray? John 3:17 (AMP) “For God did not send the Son into [...]
