Amplifying Christ's Voice Podcast
Do you want to amplify Christ's voice in a world that has become increasingly deaf to His Word? I am an experienced evangelism trainer who equips and mobilizes Christians to share the gospel as the answer to the world's spiritual brokenness. One of my greatest privileges and contributions to the Great Commission was forming and directing a multicultural, non-denominational organization that effectively evangelized in metro Boston, MA. We trained, equipped, and mobilized individuals and churches to evangelize outside their four walls. In this podcast, you will hear encouraging and spiritually challenging biblical messages and learn strategies to joyfully and confidently communicate the salvation message. Join me as we discover how to transform our communities and the world through Jesus, the Living Gospel!
Amplifying Christ's Voice Podcast
The Answer to Spiritual Revival Is Effective, Fervent Prayer!
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE
Today's episode is the second teaching on 2nd Chronicles 7:14 and will focus on prayer, our direct access to God, or metaphorically, our phone to heaven. We must be people of prayer to experience spiritual revival in our personal lives, communities, and the world. Sometimes, we unconsciously conceive prayer as an elusive or hard discipline that only the really godly understand and consistently practice. Well, today, I hope to take the mystery out of the loving privilege of prayer. We will discover how to eliminate personal obstacles interfering with an effective, fervent prayer life. Then, we will learn the principles for effective intercessory and evangelism outreach prayer.
