We review and apply the revival prayer in Nehemiah 8 and 9. We hear the hearts of believers poured out in worship, thanksgiving, confession, and intercession. We also see God's name is lifted up, His will is acknowledged, alo...

Two simple truths which have stunned my by their simplicity and profundity: No one in the Bible ever asked, “Why pray?” Our Lord prayed, not just because He wanted things, but because he enjoyed speaking to the Father. John 1...

We review the podcast's purpose: the desire for every Christian to have a growing, Biblical, dynamic, sincere, soul-satisfying prayer life. It truly does break my heart that any Christian should not know the sweetness of comf...

The Bible is our tutor in prayer; we learn most effectively by listening to the prayers of the saints who comprise our great cloud of witnesses. In this episode, we see revival and the pattern elements and pathos of prayer. N...

When we believe the word of God, it permeates everything! Everything includes, oddly enough, everything. Even every season we go through. In today's devotional, we hear some of the fallback verses, which help me when I need a...

You catch me musing on this one; as I was recording, it occurred to me the utter height of hypocrisy is found in someone fasting to be seen by men. If fasting, in essence, is carrying such a burden on our hearts that for a ti...

There are other times when our sorrow for our sins burst forth, remember like, Yahweh-Perazim, breaking through in victory, we are open and laid bare before the cross in repentance. The good news is the miraculous news. As a ...

The host is weak, faltering, and wholly inadequate for the task, but the word of God is none of those. The call for the children of God to forgive is serious, and the Bible uses: Serious Command as witnessed by: Commands Matt...

One of my favorite devotional thoughts comes from: 2 Timothy 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entru...

A reminder that eternal life starts now and is execrated through prayer after salvation. Prayer, communion with Almighty God, our Savior, can be the sweetest, most intimate time of your day. "And since He bids me seek His fac...

We review how the podcast got its name, the aim of the podcast, and our prayers for the podcast. Originally published 08.24.2019 Richard’s introduction is worth the listen! "The consideration of these things has long engaged ...
