HOUSE OF PRAYER SUNDAY
“Power of Corporate Prayer”
Rev. T. Crowe
__________________________________________________________
Key Verse(s): Matthew 21:12-13
Memory Verse(s): Acts 2:42
Key Points & Principles:

• It’s dangerous to assume God is with you and for you because of religious rituals and practices when in reality you’re not listening or obeying His Word or ways.

• Jesus cleansed / judged the Holy Temple for its oppressive practices failing to uphold God’s holy purposes being a house of prayer.

• People ‘that’ pray may see prayer as something secondary with a burden (flesh-driven). People ‘of’ prayer joyfully listen, hear, and obey God’s Word and ways (Spirit-driven).

Abiding in the Word & Growing in the Way

How did God speak specifically to you today? Would you consider yourself a person ‘that’ prays or one ‘of’ prayer? How did the Holy Spirit move in the early church (Acts 2)? Do you believe Jesus desires the Holy Spirit to move in similar ways in our church culture today?

Listening Prayer: “Heavenly Father, forgive me for my prayerlessness. I desire to commune with you more deeply through prayer and gain a better understanding to Your purposes in my life and in the lives of others. What would be the next step of obedience to make this possible?” Write down how God may be speaking to you. Thank God for making this known.

“There is a mighty lot of difference between saying prayers and praying.” John G. Lake
