A Praying Church

Bottom line: God's power and presence are manifest in a praying church.

Prayer is a vital sign of the church. It is like spiritual breath. Are we breathing spiritually as a church?
Prayer should be the atmosphere of the church. Prayer is a pleasing aroma to God. When God takes in a deep breath, does He smell a pleasing aroma?
Prayer brings the power of God to a church. His presence is manifest in the midst of a praying church. The Holy Spirit descended and empowered the early church in and during a prayer meeting.
Prayer is treasured by God so much that He bottles it up. He wants prayer from us. He treasures it. He motivates us to pray by treasuring what we pray.

The early church was "open on the God-ward side." Let us be the same and we will see the the power and presence of God in and among the church.
