God demands--demands, we say--that the Church should seek Him on her knees. Our knees are the way to the Throne. He will avenge His elect who cry to Him. In prayer--heart-searching prayer--we shall seek the answer to the needs of today’s world. Prayer bands have been the forerunners of revival bless... Read More

The following message was given at the Heart-Cry for Revival Conference in April 2004 at The Cove, Asheville, North Carolina U.S.A. Normally when revival comes, historically and biblically, it comes on the wings of a person or a small group of people who pray and seek Him desperately, wanting Him to... Read More

My favorite Bible story is found in 2 Kings 6. It is the story of the prophet Elisha and his involvement in the war between Israel and the Arameans. The king of the Arameans had declared war against Israel, which wasn’t a good thing for Israel with its smaller army. The Aramean king called his gener... Read More

Our greatest need is prayer that takes all we have and are to offer it to God, as it took all Jesus had on Calvary to give us the right to pray. We need the kind of praying that Daniel did that shook from stem to stern the Babylonian Empire. We need the never-give-in kind of prayer that the widow wo... Read More

Brother Moore likened Herald of His Coming to a trumpet 25,000 miles long, encircling the globe. A primary endeavor of the Herald is to call true Christians everywhere—of whatever creed, of whatever nationality—to holy living according to Biblical standards. The Moores did not hesitate to point out ... Read More

How can your family fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, if you don’t go anywhere? First, help your family to understand the importance and significance of what Jesus is asking us to do. Discuss the Great Commission together as a family–memorize Matthew 28:18-20, which says, “Then Jesus came to t... Read More

Lord, anoint me with Thy Spirit! Fill me with Thy power divine; Take away the love of sinning, Make, oh, make me wholly Thine! Lord, anoint me with Thy Spirit, As I wait and watch and pray; Grant a pentecost from Heaven, Send, oh, send Him, Lord, today! I am hungry for the fullness, I am thirsting, ... Read More

One may choose to begin the prayer period with the following prayer or one similar, for cleansing and power in one’s own heart and life: "Heavenly Father, I confess my sins, and by Your grace I will forsake them. Forgive them all through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. "By Your grace an... Read More

"Father, I thank Thee that Thou heardest Me. And I knew that Thou hearest Me always” (John 11:41-42). “Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee” (Psalm 2:7-8). In the New Testament we find a distinction made between faith and knowledge. “To one is given, throu... Read More

“He saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?”( Matt. 22:20). “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Gen. 1:26). “Whose is this image?” It was by this question that Jesus foiled His enemies, when they thought to take Him, and settled the matter of duty in re...

Prayer is basic to the soul-winner. He who would speak much to man for God must speak much to God for man. The Apostle said, "We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word" (Acts 6:4). Prayer was first, ministry next. Paul asked the Thessalonians to "pray for us, that...

Prayer is princely work—prayer, that is, like Jacob’s prayer at the Jabbok (Gen. 32:22-20). Prayer, at its best, is the noblest, the sublimest, the most magnificent, and stupendous act that any creature of God can perform on earth or in heaven. Prayer is far too princely a life for most men. It is h... Read More

Paul knew that Satan had power to close doors and hinder the truth. That power he will use when the Church does not aggressively oppose him. The secret of the open door for the Gospel is prayer. Behind those who preach the Word, and write it, and scatter it, must stand men and women who believe in t... Read More

Edited from a message delivered at the "Heart-Cry for Revival" Conference near Asheville, North Carolina, May 23-27, 2000. Scripture reading: Nehemiah, chapter 1. Our major purpose this hour is to pray, but first I want to direct you to Nehemiah, chapter one, and we will focus on the things that beg... Read More

God is in the mountain-moving business! He knows exactly what to do to remove any and every “mountain” that comes our way. “And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a certain man, kneeling down to Him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for ...

Charles G. Finney, in speaking of his revival work, says: “I had been in the habit of rising early in the morning, and spending a season in prayer alone in the meeting house, and I finally succeeded in interesting a considerable number of brethren to meet me there in the morning for a prayer meeting...

Never in all human history were prayers, heart-prayers, agonizing, travailing and prevailing prayers for a Holy Ghost revival for all men and for all that are in authority—so needed, so urgently necessary, so absolutely essential—as NOW! Prayer must now be made for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Sp... Read More

The outpouring of the Spirit of God among men comes in answer to earnest prayer by God’s people (Joel 1:13,14). Some may say that God has promised, so why need we rend our hearts, with fasting and weeping and mourning? There is a good answer to that in the book of Daniel. Jeremiah had foretold that ...

In the war upon the powers of darkness, prayer is the mightiest weapon. Prayer will accomplish what argument will not. When you see an onslaught of the enemy in a certain situation, be careful not to touch it until you have prayed the whole thing through. In the greatest innocence, you may fan up a ... Read More

God wants you to join Him in His great plan of salvation for this world, and He wants you to begin your work with Him in prayer. Through prayer you can have a remarkable influence in your neighborhood or workplace. Your prayers can go where you can’t go, and they can do what you can’t do. That’s bec... Read More
