Another great prayer message from the book of Nehemiah. this prayer is actually Ezra's, but it's also recorded in Nehemiah. It is a blessing (thanksgiving) to God.
Old Testament, Prayer
In the Bible, we often see the abundant grace of God, and we often think that these are given to us unconditionally, but we do not know that God has many conditions, even far beyond our ability. So we will now discuss a few aspects, we can see from the following discussion that the psalms are mostly used to flatter the beauty, that so few conditions are mentioned. But we must not take this for granted and ignore the grace of God. In the following discussion, all the The conditions are written in red letters, so that we can know what God requires, so as to truly receive the blessings that God wants to give us.

Turning Points, chapter 13, Rise & Spread of Pentecostalismsandiferb
The Rise and Spread of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement (1906, 1960) is a major turning point in Church History according to Mark Noll, author of "Turning Points".
Prayer & Fasting is a hidden secret biblical weapon to intensify our communication & intimacy with God. If you want to throw gas on the prayers that burn within you, try fasting with prayer.
This prayer model is from the book "The Hour That Changes the World". The author presents 12 sections of prayer that if practiced for 5 minutes each would accumulate an hour of prayer a day for the development of a habit of prayer. Eventually, once the habit is developed, a more intimate, personal prayer devotion can be created. Very useful for those who want to know how to pray.

The introduction sermon for the Christmas Go Deeper Series at TaB 2013
In order to get the maximum spiritual growth potential out of the Christmas season, we have to contemplate the incarnation and the nativity.
This is the final piece of the series. It is on cessationism and specifically why we hold it to be true. What does this term mean, what does it not mean, and why can we defend that position Biblically. We do not love controversy, we love seeking truth.
The gifts of the Spirit are for mutual encouragement and blessing of others. They are, in short, for the purpose of ministry not self-promotion. God gives good gifts to His children!
Tabernacle Baptist Church, Ithaca NY
The Holy Spirit comes to live inside every believer at salvation. We have the Spirit on-board. That regular and continuous presence makes a difference in the way that we conduct ourselves. We are created and re-created to worship God with our bodies.

The Holy Spirit marks a believer permanently as one of His by baptism and sealing. We are identified with Him and owned by Him.

5th is a series on Nehemiah's prayers.
Nehemiah had a crisis brewing in the workers' camp. People were in need. He challenged the "common business practices" of his day and reinstituted charity and compassion ministries. He led with generosity and prayed to God to take notice and bless his giving.
3rd in a series on Nehemiah's prayers
Nehemiah is being attacked by Sandballat and Tobias. The wall project must go on! But the need is great! Pray for protection! Imprecatory prayers are Biblical.
This is the third in the series on spiritual thirst. Sometimes spiritual thirst comes from our restless searching for another answer. We have weak faith and end up looking everywhere else but to God.
This is the second in the series on spiritual thirst. Thirst is sometimes driven by separation from God by our own sins!! We are the cause of our own demise!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
