What Every Christian Needs to Know about Prayer

Why do some succeed and become stronger while others fail or struggle? Pastor Greg Laurie answers, "Because of choices that we make daily. We make choices, but eventually those choices make us." Every believer has to go forward in his or her spiritual life to become stronger. We must discipline and apply ourselves to pray, read, study, love, and memorize the Word of God-in doing this our hearts fall into worship of our heavenly Father.

So there is a TRUE story about this elderly brother who was in exile in Sibiria for his faith during Communist rule in Soviet Union. So this people took him away from the camp where he was staying, half hungry and freezing, put him in a special car that he cannot see outside and drove to the deep forest and left him there and returned back. The poor thing was scared ... so he kneeled down and prayed to God for His help. All of a sudden he felt that something was pulling his clothes, he turned around and saw a bear... Yes!! He was brought there so the bears could finish with him. But instead of harming this man the bear sort of brought him to his place. The bear brought raw meat but when it saw that this man wasn’t eating he went back and brought cooked meat . ( No, it’s not a fairytale:) . At the night he hugged this brave believer and slept by keeping him from freezing to death. Long story short , 1or 2 months passed and it was spring time so the bear took this man back to the camp and was watching him. So this man spoke to the workers there and said that he is the man who they took to the forest but God saved him. They were really surprised and told him that they already counted him as dead so he is free and free to go. Awhile later in local newspapers was written that the camp manager who did this to this elderly believer, WAS eaten by a BEAR. It’s a true story , as Daniels, or Jonahs etc. This is The God we serve !!!!!! Take heart!!! (Me too)☺️🙌🏻🕊

Thank you Paster for being here. How does a disabled 73 yr old person get to church? I live alone.

[@White-ms9uo]

Call your church. Ask them if they can send some one who lives near you to come and get you for church. ANYONE would be happy to do that

[@susanflakes6968]

Did you see that! It was right above you...Selah...

[@JohnnyTsak316]

the more you try to figure out God the worst you have problems and sin -faith does not figure out God faith believes the Lord because the Lord Loves you and all that matters is faith that works by love the more you think about Sin the more Sin you have it's a curse don't do that think about righteousness and faith and Love confess to God you're sin and forsake God will remove you're sins Christ Blood does this - stop trying to figure out go so intensely that you're life becomes a tortured existence of sins after sins after torture and demons this and that this is not a good thing at all - I have been tortured by over thinking the Lord and satan attacks you if you keep trying to figure out why you sin - you sin because you are a sinner repent and believe

What is God's purpose to have me sick with five different diseases the first being Diffused Systematic Scleroderma which is turning me to stone? I've prayed for His will and have given up I'm in hospice care now. What did I do wrong??😥 Will anyone answer this? Everything that Greg Laurie has presented in this sermon I've done. I'm sad and have given up.

[@deloresm7494]

I'm sick too, but whenever I get angry and as why, I realize that He is really the only Hope. Without Hi these illnesses have absolutely no meaning which is worse. Keep having faith and when we meet in Heaven and learn why we can talk about it. God bless you and comfort you.

[@roselewis9950]

Dont GIVE UP. You're in a trial. Embrace it n thank GOD FOR ALL HE HAD DONE IN YOUR LIFE. It will only last so long.

How am I supposed to remember every sin that I ve committed are you saying because I didn’t confess a sin when I was a teenager that now God never hears or answers my prayers

[@brandonmechaman]

No, that's why he said "known and unknown sins" this means for those sins that we committed when we were teens that we can't remember, aka unknown, we are forgiven for those sins too. I have asked God to reveal unknown sins to me and he's pointed out that I didn't even know was sin because I was misinterpreting a scripture or something. Keep in mind in Jesus' prayer to the father he said "forgive us our sins as we forgive our debtors," notice that he didn't name each and every sin that these people have done. He was very vague, you don't have to remember, God does. So, just ask him to forgive you and bless God he will. I hope this helped
