"SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER" MINISTRY

​We need all the soldiers we can get to help fight this war.  We are fighting for the souls of mankind.  Our weapons consist of faith, prayer and the Word of God.  The Holy Spirit wants to recruit you!  Will you answer the call and say yes?  You will be glad you did because you will be on the winning team!

Your uniform for battle can be found in Ephesians the sixth chapter.

Get ready for battle!!!
​Corporate Prayer is where believers come together in agreement to pray for pastors, families, authority figures, government officials and one another.
Vision:  Believers come together to intercede for our world, nation, government, pastors, world leaders, authority figures, families, churches, and one another; and the mind and eyes of the church will see the necessity of Corporate Prayer.
"Sweet Hour of Prayer" Ministry Mission Statement: God’s word instructs us to pray as Jesus prayed.  It is our mission to commit to prayer and to the study of God’s Word.  Our commitment to pray is threefold.  We are to: 
(1) Spend time in prayer alone with God, (2) Set aside time, daily, for family devotion,  (3) Schedule a regular time daily, as a church to pray corporately with believers.​

Words of Inspiration


​Prayer shouldn’t just be for ourselves or our peers. We are also to pray for our leaders in the body of Christ. Leaders are always under scrutiny and pressure to make important decisions. We are to continue praying that they are led by the wisdom of God. For our leaders in the body of Christ, we are to pray that the Lord remains the source of their strength and that they will never stray from the call upon their life.

Prayer

​Dear God, I would like to take this time out to pray for my leaders. I pray for the leaders in the body of Christ, Lord I know that they often face challenges that are probably more than my own. Lord, I pray that as they carry out the work you set out for them to do, may they keep their eyes fixed on you. May they never be led astray, O Lord, and may they always take delight in you, O God. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
​We are God’s creation, created in His image and for His purpose.  Christ is our role model when it comes to how we should live our lives.  He lived a life of prayer and obedience to His father.  How much more should we be people of prayer and obedience to our heavenly father! 

Have you ever thought you might need a fresh new start with your prayer life?  Maybe your prayer life has been sporadic or inconsistent because of distractions such as, with telephone calls, body fatigue, busy-ness, rushing from place to place, mind preoccupied, bills to pay, tending to financial obligations, caring for children, family and friends, attending church, activities/ meetings...just to name a few.  There are so many more distractions that keep us from making prayer a priority!
​
Making Prayer a Priority takes a dedicated spirit and a sense of determination.  It is not just about following a four to ten step plan.  
​Ultimately, it is about having/developing an intimate and/or Love Relationship with God.  God is waiting on us every day and morning to have that one on one time with Him!  He also looks forward to His people (us, as believers) to come together in unity on one accord making our requests known.
Let your prayer be known to encourage and bless someone on today.  Feel free to express your heart to God!

When you pray, believe so you will receive what you ask for.
​
Take time to Pray.  Please join in with me to Pray for our world, nation, government, community, families, children and the cares and concerns that you may have.
​
It has been addressed aforetime "If ever there was a time to pray, the time is now!"...Agree?

Be consistently prayerful, don't let up!  Let's be obedient to God's command to Pray.  He want to hear from you (us).
​
​Prayer is the only way we are going to make it through to the other side of life eternal with Christ.

He is longing to communicate with you on a regular, one-on-one basis. 
Yes! He Knows everything about you, your needs, wants, concerns, etc. 
He also wants you to take time to talk with Him about everything that concerns you!

​Through prayer you can be sure you get the right answer you need! Did
you not know that God, through the Holy Spirit (which sometimes we
think of as “something told me…”), speaks to us. When you begin to
pray, ask God the following:

​Speak to my heart, Lord
Speak to my Spirit and my soul
That I may hear what you have to say and
May I respond out of obedience immediately!
