All that God is, and all that God has, are at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.

The Best Way to Remove the Cold
By David A Arnold:
The great preacher, Alexander Whyte (1836 – 1921), when he was too old to mount the pulpit, would rise every morning to prepare a sermon, even though he never preached them. He did so until the day he died. He was convinced that study of the Word was essential to saving himself.
In Psalm 119:25 the psalmist stated, “My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word.” “Clings” means “glued to, overtaken.” “The dust” speaks of the things of this world and how our flesh seems to be always pulling us toward earthly things and desires. This is why he cried, “Revive me according to Your word.” “Revive me” means “restore, raise me up to life, health, and vigor.” He asks that God do this “according to Your Word.” God’s Word is spirit and life, and, through the power of Scripture, we are revived and gain victory. The best way to remove the cold is to get near the fire. The best way to overcome this clinging of our soul to the dust is to read and meditate on the flame of the Word of God.
“Ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are merely playing at Bible study; therefore, ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are mere weaklings when they might be giants” (R.A. Torrey).

Quote of the Day
Oh, men and women, pray through; pray through! Do not just begin to pray and pray a little while and throw up your hands and quit; but pray and pray and pray until God bends the heavens and comes down.

Why You Need to Keep Coming Back to the Word
"'The Bible is life–changing. Not only will reading and responding to God’s Word change your life today, but the Bible will continually change you as you keep coming back to it throughout your life. It’s not enough to sample the Word; you need to incorporate the habit of daily coming back to the Word into your life.
God’s Word Is Where the Power Is
R.A. Torrey shared what has become one of my favorite quotes, “People who pray for power but neglect the Bible abound in the church. But the power that belongs to God is stored up in the great reservoir of His own Word, the Bible. We cannot obtain or maintain God’s power in our own lives or in our work unless there is deep and frequent meditation on the Word of God.”
Torrey was a longtime ministry associate of D.L. Moody who also had a passion for God’s Word and based his whole ministry on it. In one of my favorite stories about D.L. Moody, he shares:
A quickening that will last must come through the word of God. A man stood up in one of our meetings and said he hoped for enough out of the series of meetings to last him all his life. I told him he might as well try to eat enough breakfast at one time to last him a lifetime. That is a mistake that people are making; they are running to religious meetings and they think the meetings are going to do the work. But if these don’t bring you into closer contact with the word of God, the whole impression will be gone in three months.
If you really want to grow in your Christian life, you need to keep coming back to the Word of God.
It’s not enough to read the Bible once and then move on. Each of us need daily manna from heaven that God gives as we come back to His Word each day.
If you really want to grow in your Christian life, you need to keep coming back to the Word of God.
Your Bible Is Living and Active
When you become a student of the Bible and you read it consistently throughout the years, different Scriptures stand out at different times. God’s Word is living and active and will often speak to you what you need to hear at just the right moment.
God’s Word also becomes living and active in your heart when you memorize Scripture and meditate on it. To meditate on the Word of God means letting it roll over and over again in your heart and mind until it settles deeply into your spirit. It’s one thing to get into the Word of God, but it’s another thing to let the Word of God get into you. I spend much of my day as part of a ministry team thinking on the Word of God and what God wants to speak into the chaos, dysfunction, and brokenness of our world. I meditate and ponder what God might be saying and what He might want me to say to bring hope and truth into a world that desperately needs Him.
Remind Your Heart Daily What God Has Said
It’s important to keep coming back to the Word of God because the Bible tells us the importance of remembering what God has said:
For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. — 2 Peter 1:12-15, NKJV
It is good to be reminded of what God has said, and you do this by coming back to the Word over and over so your life is continually changed."'

Worthy Brief - May 24, 2023
Tthe wave of change!
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
The third great awakening took place during the late 1850s into the beginning of the 1900s. It was during this era that the wave of revivals sweeping America began spreading throughout the world. The era saw the abolition of slavery, women’s right to vote, and the end of child labor in factories.
George Mueller began a movement of orphanages and Christian schools, and amazingly, was accused of raising the poor out of their ‘station in life’ as he educated over 120,000 children.
Elsewhere in Great Britian, William Booth's Salvation Army outreach was birthed out of the third great awakening. His concern for rampant alcoholism led to the prohibition movement of the 1930s. Riding on a wagon through the streets, Booth called on alcoholics to stop drinking and come to faith in Jesus. His success led former drunks to coin the phrase, “I’m on the wagon”.
Meanwhile, in China, Hudson Taylor led an evangelical movement in the Far East, another arm of the "awakening". And D.L. Moody, Charles Spurgeon, and R.A. Torrey were leading revivals throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
D.L. Moody rarely spoke of His Baptism in the Spirit which took place in New York just after his church was burned down in the great Chicago fire of 1871. It radically changed his ministry, earning him the moniker, “Crazy Moody.” Yet, his preaching brought thousands to faith, and Moody Bible Institute in Chicago has educated thousands more for ministry since its birth.
The third great awakening saw God radically empowering believers by His Spirit to usher in a harvest in their generation which continues to impact society today.
Will you allow the Spirit of God to radically transform your life? This day and hour, when it seems so dark — is our time to shine; to be the beacon of light to this world that so needs the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus.
Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna
(Dallas, Texas)

2 Chronicles 20:17
You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’
Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.”
The reason why many fail in battle is because they wait until the hour of battle.
The reason why others succeed is because they have gained their victory on their knees long before the battle came.
Anticipate your battles; fight them on your knees before temptation comes, and you will always have victory.

"At Calvary" One Man's Testimony
“At Calvary” One Man’s Testimony
mockingbird
One of my favorite articles of the magazine, Christianity Today, is always at the end and titled simply “Testimony”. The testimonies display God’s amazing grace in how He saved a certain person in some kind of unique way. I know some people who were saved at a young age (such as myself) and spent most of their life in church feel slightly intimidated by powerful testimonies. They…

"God has not changed; and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save; as it ever was."

Quote
Shallow views of sin and of God’s holiness, and of the glory of Jesus Christ and His claims upon us, lie at the bottom of weak theories of the doom of the impenitent. When we see sin in all its hideousness and enormity, the Holiness of God in all its perfection, and the glory of Jesus Christ in all its infinity, nothing but a doctrine that those who persist in the choice of sin, who love darkness rather than light, and who persist in the rejection of the Son of God, shall endure everlasting anguish, will satisfy the demands of our own moral intuitions… The more closely men walk with God and the more devoted they become to His service, the more likely they are to believe this doctrine"

Prayer Quote of the Day
Prayer Quote of the Day
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.

Le grand réservoir de puissance qui appartient à Dieu est sa propre Parole - la Bible. Si nous voulons le faire nôtre, nous devons aller à ce Livre. Pourtant, les gens abondent dans l'église qui prient pour le pouvoir et négligent la Bible.

Weariness in well-doing is not so much related to what people do to you, as it is related to what you expect them to do to you. The lower your expectations the less likely you are to be disappointed. And if you understand at the very beginning that you are a clay pot, that helps. 2 Corinthians 4:7, we are an earthen vessel. - John MacArthur (click here for more)
Do Christians sin? Yes, absolutely. But Can Christians live in a state of sin without discipline and without being brought back in obedience to their Father? Absolutely not. - Paul Washer
What we need is the moral will of God which is plainly revealed in the Word. What we need is the work of the Spirit to illumine that Word to us and to give us wisdom, and the self-appointed prophets do not have anything to do with that. You and I are free from the tyranny of human opinion because we are bound to the Word of God. - R. Scott Clark (click here for more)
Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to his love, and the future to his providence. - Augustine
The pot upon the wheel cannot guess to what pattern it will be conformed, but if the potter understands his art, the ignorance of the clay is irrelevant. My Lord must not be cross-questioned any more by one so ignorant as I am. Sweet Lord, be forever eye and soul and head for us, and let us be content to know only what You choose to reveal. - Alistair Begg (click here for more)
How can a deceived person know he is deceived? How can we spot someone who is deceived? Look for people who are seeking feelings, blessings, experiences, healings, angels...whatever. That are only interested in the by-products of the faith, not in Christ. - John MacArthur
I’ve discovered that it is to acknowledge the reality of the pain and to keep going in the strength that God provides. When God says that when we are weak, then we are strong (2 Cor. 12:10), He means it. Endurance in suffering isn’t about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps; instead, it’s about falling into the arms of your Father to receive help in your time of need. The endurance needed in suffering is to persevere. - Trillia J. Newbell (click here for more)
A church fed on excitement is no New Testament church at all. The desire for surface stimulation is a sure mark of the fallen nature, the very thing Christ died to deliver us from. - A.W. Tozer
He that has trained his children for heaven, rather than for earth, for God, rather than for man, he is the parent that will be called wise at last. - J.C. Ryle
Beware of that practical atheism which excludes God from His own world; which excludes Him from your individual history. He is not only present in His created universe, but He is as much in personal events of life, shaping, guiding, overruling each and all. - Octvaius Winslow
The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer. - R.A. Torrey
It would be gross ingratitude to doubt God's faithfulness in the future, when in the past you have found him firm and immoveable. - John Calvin
By the grace of the cross, God has separated a people from the mass of humanity and made them his treasured posession. By this same grace, he transformed their hearts and gave them righteous affections. Thus, he is precious to them, and nothing they desire compares with him. - Paul Washer
