  • Prayer and The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity – The GodHead. God is revealed as Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Jesus said “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.  Matt 28:19 “May the grace of the Lord…

  • Prayer – Our authority in Christ

    I believe that our authority as Christians only comes from Christ and our position in Christ through his death on the Cross and resurrection.

    I believe that we can only approach God’s throne through the blood and in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life.

    KNOW YOUR GOD – To be effective in prayer we need to know: WHO we are praying to; in WHOSE name we pray; and the AUTHORITY and POSITION we have in CHRIST : One of the main purposes of prayer is to develop our relationship with God by actively seeking/pursuing HIS FACE through the person…

  • Prayer – Let’s be inspired

    We are in a season where God is calling His people to pray and intercede being inspired and empowered by His Holy Spirit.    I am going to post a series of notes which I used some years ago when leading some prayer workshops.  The aim was to encourage believers to pray and help them develop prayer as a lifestyle.  It was also to provide some practical…
