Family Church Gosport

Even if we don’t fully believe everything the Word of God says about us…the devil does…and he will do all he can to stop us from walking in these truths.

Jesus lived to do the will of His Father, healing, delivering, restoring and setting free all who were oppressed by the devil. Therefore, God wants us to walk in all that He provided at the cross 2000 years ago, which includes soundness of mind, healing for our bodies and forgiveness of our sins. 

Let's not grow weary in our prayers. There are times when it may feel like there’s no answers coming or no change to a situation, but know this - God has heard.

Not all prayer is the same…therefore, knowing which prayer to use at any given time is helpful to our prayer strategy.

Having the privilege of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and being able to pray the perfect prayer makes praying incredibly powerful.

The prayer of faith: is to ask God to accomplish what He has promised in His Word. That promise is the only ground for our confidence in asking. Such confidence is not "worked up" from within our emotional life; rather, it is given and supported by what God has said in Scripture.

Collective prayer is simply a gathering of people coming together and praying as one. When we gather together and combine our prayers as the body of Christ, the results are powerful.

Today is Global Sunday in Family Church and we celebrate all the represented nations in our congregations. Here in Gosport Congregation, Ps Geoff speaks with members of the congregation from different nations about the importance of praying for the persecuted church. Persecution of Christians is still rife in parts of the world and our prayers need to focus on their plight as well as our own immediate situations.

I would like to suggest that the two most important factors that will motivate us as believers to pray are…desire and need. Unfortunately, need is often the greatest motivation to pray when, in fact, desire should be the greatest motivation in a believer's life.

Pastor Steu shares some principles from the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, expanding mainly on what the statement “Your Kingdom Come” means.
