The Prayer God Makes Powerful

Описание: Dear God, Are You Listening? | The Prayer God Makes Powerful

We’ve all been there—praying for a miracle, a healing, or a breakthrough and feeling like our words are just hitting the ceiling. It’s easy to treat prayer like a quick-fix formula or a "processed food" solution: fast, convenient, and instant. But what happens when the answer doesn't come right away?

In this final message of our series, "Dear God, Are You Listening?", we dive into James chapter 5 to uncover what it actually means to have a "powerful and effective" prayer life.

In this message, we explore:


The Problem with Formulas: Why treating the Bible like a simple "if-then" equation can lead to a crisis of faith when God moves in His own timing.

Patient Prayer: Understanding why God values the patience of a farmer waiting for a crop over our desire for instant results.

Creating Space for Miracles: How shedding selfish ambition, favoritism, and the mistreatment of others creates the environment where God loves to move.


Real Faith vs. Pretending: Why we need to stop pretending we have it all together and instead bring our real, messy lives to Jesus.

If you are waiting for fruit to come alive in your life, don't give up. Join us as we learn how to stand firm and trust God’s timing.
