TONIGHT IN THE AUDITORIUM WITH PASTOR AT 6:30
Igniting Kingdom Prayer with Dr. Tony Evans
This week’s lesson is THE PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL POWER(Ephesians 3:14-21): With every believer who places their faith in God, there is a power given to them which grants the ability to contact heaven in order to get help on earth. But unfortunately, many do not understand this gift granted to them and therefore do not end up utilizing it. In this message, Tony Evans will show us the spiritual power that you ALREADY possess and how prayer is the HIDDEN KEY to accessing it.

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 5:5, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
When we experience inclinations toward God and the things of God, it causes us to worship Him because we realize that the very thing He is inclining us to do, He Himself does.
It is all grace!
For example, He wants us to love Him, so He Himself imparts into us the love whereby we can love Him.
We discover that the love of God is something poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Another inclination that we discover is a desire to share Christ with others.
We gradually begin to realize that the inclination itself is the Lord’s voice in us prompting us to preach the gospel.
There are also the times when we wake up in the morning with a few words of a hymn or spiritual song.
We are then inclined to go to our hymnal to find the rest of the words of that song.
When we do, we are face-to-face with God’s specific words or speaking to us for that day.
How many times have you been inwardly directed to a devotional book, such as My Utmost for His Highest, only to find the word, the line, or the verse that met your need at that moment?
To hear the sweet sound of the Lord’s voice in our daily life, we need to look for and follow the Spirit-produced inclinations.
Following these inclinations will issue in the sense of life and peace within.
Under the new covenant, His speaking does not normally come to us as an audible voice.
It comes in the line of a verse, in the words of a song, in fellowship with another member of the Body, in a message we heard from the Word, or in the growing burden we feel in our hearts.
As we open ourselves to live out of the source of the Spirit (Rom. 8:4-5), we will increasingly be made aware of our heart’s inclinations (Rom. 8:6).
It is in those inclinations that we will find the Lord’s voice for our daily life.
Until Tomorrow
