Prayer can be powerful. It can move mountains, or it can move nothing. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer, President of the American Pastors Network. The Pastors network places great emphasis on prayer- because God does. Unfortunately, too many people just go through the motions with no power, no answers, no results because their heart is unclean. Psalms 66:18 says, “If I harbor sin in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” Unconfessed sin is fatal to powerful prayer. The Psalmist goes on to say that even if we sacrifice and cry out with great passion but have sin in our heart, not only will God not answer, but He won’t even listen! Living in disobedience to God’s commands, living in sin or harboring unconfessed sin in our hearts guarantees that our prayers won’t be answered. In these perilous days in our nation’s history when more people seem to be praying, shouldn’t we look into our hearts first? Can God answer your prayers or is your sin preventing Him from even hearing you?

Fearing God Series: Discover Truth
April 25, 2024
Transcript: Understanding the fear of God starts with hating what God hates and pursuing the Truth of God. Prov. 2:5 says, if a person seeks truth, he will find it. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. If our nation’s to turn from its pursuit of evil and the choice not to fear or respect God we must stop trying to define Truth as we see it, and discover Truth as God defines it. A society that seeks to define truth in their own eyes does so at their own peril. If Jesus Christ Who is the Truth becomes the object of the person pursuing Truth, then Truth is discovered, and the fear of God understood. The Bible makes it clear in the book of John that Jesus as Truth results in freedom and blessing. That’s what America needs.

Fearing God Series: Seek Knowledge
April 24, 2024
Transcript: Since fearing God means hating evil, pride, arrogancy, the way of evil and perverted speech, do you fear God? Prov. 1:7 says that the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American pastors network and another Stand in the gap Minute. According to Proverbs 1:29, those who choose not to fear God are marked by their hate of truth and knowledge. They are despisers of what is good, therefore God says they will eat of their own fruit, and be filled with the consequences of their own sinful choices. But God makes it clear that he has offered a way of hope and freedom and it starts with fearing Him. Proverbs says that if we cry after knowledge, and seek understanding in the fear of God we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
