Holiness is NOT optional - we must separate ourselves from the spirit of the world. It is holiness within that causes us to live outward, holy lives. Prayer Prayer is one of the most neglected weapons against the flesh and the devil. Jesus commanded us to pray. The church cannot function any other way.
Spiritual death is the result of no prayer.
Prayer will launch the church into spiritual power and revival. Agonizing prayer is necessary - not programs and plans, but men filled with the Holy Ghost. We stress everything but prayer. We evaluate success by crowds, wonderful sermons, talented singing, or if the offerings are good. The true measure of the spiritual status of a church is determined by the prayer life of the people.
