Prevailing Prayer

Author: Dwight L. Moody Publishing House: Moody Publishers 56

The two first and essential means of grace are the Word of God and prayer. Conversion comes through these, for we are born again by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.


Book cover of Prevailing Prayer

The two first and essential means of grace are the Word of God and prayer. Conversion comes through these, for we are born again by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever (1 Peter 1:23), and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

By the Word of God and prayer, we also grow. Scripture tells us we should desire, or crave, the pure spiritual milk of the Word so we may grow by it (1 Peter 2:2), and we cannot grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ unless we also speak to him in prayer.

It is by the Word that the Father sanctifies us (purifies and sets us apart) but we are also instructed to watch and pray to avoid falling into temptation.

These two instruments of grace must be applied in the right proportion. If we read the Word and do not pray, we may become puffed up with knowledge, without the love that builds others up.

If we pray without reading the Word, we will be ignorant of the mind and will of God, and become mystical and fanatical, and liable to be blown around by every wind of doctrine.


The following chapters relate especially to prayer, but in order for our prayers to be about things that are aligned with the will of God, they must be based upon the revelation of his own will to us.

For of him and by him and in him are all things (Romans 11:36), and it is only by hearing God’s Word, where we learn his purposes toward us and toward the world, that we can pray acceptably.

This means praying in the Holy Spirit and asking the things which are pleasing in his sight. These essays are not to be considered exhaustive, but suggestive.

This great subject has been the topic of prophets and apostles, and of all good people in all ages of the world.

My desire in writing this little book is to encourage God’s children to seek by prayer “to move the arm that moves the world,” a phrase inspired by James Cowden Wallace’s hymn, “There Is an Eye That Never Sleeps.”

Let go of your old way of thinking and take hold of the new thing God has for you!

Develop a Vision of Victory

Joel Osteen
Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you perceive victory in your every step? Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? Today’s verse doesn’t say that God is going to do a new thing some day.
He wants to give you more wisdom so you can make better decisions.

Think the Way God Thinks

Joel Osteen
Begin today to think the way God thinks. The Bible says, “The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter and brighter.” Think increase... Think big... Think expansive! Start expecting the unexpected and look at life through your eyes of faith.
God leads you through a progressive path, but the ultimate goal is to be on Mount Carmel and to be fruitful.

Wisdom in Building Up

T.D. Jakes
WE can build up ourselves, cultivate a sense of expectancy about the coming of the Lord, have compassion on those who have fallen, and be moved with zeal to make a difference in the lives of those who have spotted their garments.
In the depths of our spirit, we can learn to recognize that voice and distinguish it from all others

My Sheep Listen to My Voice

Chris Tiegreen
Jesus knows how confused we can be. That’s one of the reasons He gave His followers an illustration about shepherds and sheep. Sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd so that when he calls to them.
Clearly, John wanted everyone to know Jesus was not merely a man. Jesus was the eternal, all-powerful God who existed before time, created everything, and gave life.

Jesus Lives and Creates

David R. Veerman
John and his brother James became two of Jesus’ original twelve disciples and, along with Peter, enjoyed a special relationship with Jesus. At times Jesus called just the three of them to see an important event, such as his Transfiguration.
