The only thing that saves us.
We can only keep ourselves in the love of God by building up ourselves on our most holy faith and by Holy Spirit praying, and by nothing else. If we try to fight God’s battles in our own moral, resisting power, we shall fail, and fail miserably, but if we use the spiritual weapons of implicitly trusting God and maintaining a simple relationship to Jesus Christ by praying in the Holy Spirit, we shall never fail.
Oswald Chambers
The Holy Spirit and Prayer
Paul more than once reminds his convert that the chief characteristic of his preaching was the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
There is no manifestation of the Holy Spirit when both the speaking (from the pastor) and the hearing (from the parishioner) are both mainly the working of human understanding and feeling.

You won’t be disappointed!

To the man or woman who is acquainted with God and who knows how to pray, there is nothing remarkable in the answers that come. They are sure of being heard since they ask in accordance with what they know to be the mind and will of God.
Through the gateway of prayer, we find our way into the Father’s presence. We see His face, and we know that all is well, since His hand is at the helm of events, and “even the winds and the sea obey Him” (Matt. 8:27). When we live in fellowship with Him, we come with confidence into His presence, asking in full confidence of receiving and meeting with the justification of our faith. (See Hebrews 4:16)

The Place of Solitude in Your Spiritual
Part 1 of 2
Solitude is the foundational discipline of the spiritual life; it is time set aside to give God our full and undivided attention. In solitude we withdraw from our lives in the company of others and pull back from our many distractions in order to give God complete access to our souls. Devoid of the normal interruptions, silence deepens the experience of solitude. It enables us to withdraw not only from the noise and distraction of the external world, but also the “noise” of the inner compulsions that drive us. In solitude and silence, we become quiet enough to hear a voice that is not our own. This Voice we most need to hear.

Provoking Thoughts on Prayer
“Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Praying these words, humble yourself before the Lord, earnestly asking Him to accomplish His whole will in you and through you. Surrender your heart into His hands. Surrender your freedom into His hands. Yield to your Lord His right to do with you as He pleases.
Do you know what God’s will is? His will is that His children love Him. Therefore, when you pray, “Lord, Your will be done,” you are actually asking the Lord to allow you to love Him. So begin to love Him! And as you do, beseech Him to give you His love. All that I have described to you will take place very sweetly, and it will take place very peacefully through prayer.

The Fire that Consumes
Prayer has an incredible power to arrest and change the purposes of God. The prayers of righteous men relieve the stroke of His power. We can witness both the possibilities and the necessity of prayer when we see how the prayer of God’s saints brought about a change in God’s plans.
-Abraham prayed and God healed Abimeleck, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare Children.
-Jonah prayed and Nineveh prayed and God’s decree against the city was changed.
-Moses prayed forty-days and nights and God’s anger was kindled against Aaron to not destroy him.
-Hezekiah prayed and God added fifteen years to his life.
All of these people knew how to pray and how to prevail in prayer. Everything is possible to men and women who know how to pray, and it is still possible today.
