In these pages you will discover how to become a mighty prayer warrior yourself, and how to lead your church into a radically transforming prayer ministry. Your spirits will soar as you read God’s “Powerful Prayer Promises.”

Why do we want to learn to pray as Jesus prayed? So we can walk with God as He walked with God. So our prayers can be more effective at reaching other people, and so we can have a closer relationship with God. Jesus had seven major prayer experienced that we can learn from as we study the Bible. Watch and listen as Pastor Mark Finley opens the Word and reached us how to pray as Jesus prayed.

Heartfelt prayers pleading with God for healing, hope, and effective witness in an age of lukewarm laodicean Christianity?

The 2022 International Women's Day of Prayer resource packet "Praying in the Last Days" is written by Cindy Tutsch, D.Min. Her sermon focuses on the need for prayer in the last days before Joshua entered the Promised Land. How do we find peace and comfort in these uncertain times? We must connect to God in prayer. Even when we feel empty, lonely, afraid, hopeless, we must tell Him how we feel. If this is how you feel, ask Him right now to fill you with strength, courage, joy, and peace of mind. The accompanying seminar "Why Prayer Matters" is also written by Dr. Cindy Tutsch. All materials provided through the General Conference Women's Ministries.

Have you ever wondered why God does not always answer your prayers immediately? Have you ever prayed only to feel that your prayer ascended no higher than the ceiling? This video, with Mark Finley, takes us behind the scenes. It reveals a titanic conflict between good and evil. Although we sincerely seek God for answers to our prayers, there are powerful Satanic forces working in opposition to God. Don't miss this greater conflict as you pray!

Jesus promised that the love He would show on the cross would be so powerful it would draw all people to Himself (John 12:32). Millions of Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and others have not yet heard His story in their language.

The Bible and Ellen White’s writings are overflowing with God’s specific methods. Take the challenge, 30 Days to Reach the World, to discover God’s strategic plans, along with meeting 30 unreached groups of immigrants, refugees, and international students.

Have you ever wondered what mission might look like as primarily a divine endeavor?

Let's keep moving forward on our knees!

In this short video, Elder Wilson talks about how to cope in these troubling times. While this 100 Days of Prayer initiative was originally designed to inspire people from all around the world to pray for the Holy Spirit outpouring on the upcoming General Conference Session, now that GC session has been postponed due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are pressing forward in prayer anyway. What better time to be praying then now when all the world is in agitation. Thankfully God is still on the throne. And He hears our prayers.

In this video, filmed at 3ABN, Melody Mason shares her personal journey from "Wilderness Living" to "Daring to Ask for More," for God's glory. We are told "Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven’s storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence." Do we recognize the value of this key? What about when we pray and pray and God still doesn't answer? What then? How can we grow a faith that will not be knocked over in the storms of life? The following testimony will address just such questions, and much more.

If you ask for prayer requests at a typical prayer meeting or church service, you may notice the responses have common themes—prayers for health, jobs, finances, or relationships. You may notice something missing, however: deeply personal prayer requests about internal battles, spiritual struggles, or for help in facing doubt, fear, and discouragement. Are we praying about our own needs in moments alone with God? Are we wrestling with Him through personal conflict? Asking for guidance and wisdom? Talking to Him like a friend about the things on our hearts? Prayer doesn’t only change the world around us. It changes us.

This inspirational collection of prayer resources, prepared by NAD Prayer Ministries coordinator Ruthie Jacobsen, is a great guide to starting prayer ministries.

Listen in on this engaging conversation.

In this episode of "United Prayer Works" we catch a glimpse of Paul and Barnabas on their mission to win converts in the early church. The Holy Spirit was with them and worked in a mighty way. What the Holy Spirit did then, He can do today, when God's people pray!

In this part 7 of the "United Prayer Works" series, we find what it's like to be at complete peace in your walk with God. Peter is scheduled to be executed the next day, but he's sleeping peacefully between his guards. And then the unthinkable happens... an angel comes from heaven to rescue him. May this short video be a reminder of the God who brings peace even in the midst of our storms.

Jesus longed for His fledgling church to come together in purpose, harmony, and mission. Today, amid perhaps unprecedented polarization in the world, our nations, and our church, we too need to heed Jesus’ counsel to seek His Spirit and come together for mission, especially for the least of these. The task seems daunting and impossible in our humanity. That’s why we need to pray as never before for the miracle of healing and reconciliation that only God can bring.

In this fifth of the series "United Prayer Works" we catch a glimpse of what happened when a Gentile named Cornelius prayed. God gave Peter a vision that opened his eyes to the fact that God wants to reach all nations -- it's not just for the Jews that salvation is given. What a beautiful testimony and answer to prayer this story is!

We have all heard about the importance of prayer for our spiritual life, how it is the breath of the soul that keeps us alive spiritually. And yet why is it that often we do not take time to pray? Could it be that we have lost sight of God in our prayers and that they have turned more inward then outward? Perhaps we need to rediscover prayer that is pleasing to God. In this enlightening article, Dr. Frank Hasel gives us a fresh glimpse of a prayer, in the light of God's love.

In this fourth video of the United Prayer video series, we catch a glimpse of what happened when Peter and John spoke with boldness after Pentecost. Their work was not appreciated by the Pharisees and Sadducees. But God was with them.

It happened at Pentecost. It will happen again! Inspiration tells us, "The descent of the Holy Spirit upon the church is looked forward to in the future; but it is the privilege of the church to have it now. Seek for it, pray for it, believe for it. We must have it and heaven is waiting to bestow it." (RH March 19, 1895). May this encourage us all to get on our knees and pray!

This is the second video in the "United Prayer Works" series which highlights the story of Queen Esther, and the power of believers uniting in prayer.

(Gospel Workers, p. 417)

This is the first in a series of Revival and Reformation videos about the power and effectiveness of believers praying together. The Bible says, "If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matt. 18:19-20)

Inspiration tells us, "With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Savior might be carried to the whole world!" (Education, 271) Join young people the world over in the 2018 Youth Week of Prayer. The following materials are from the General Conference Youth Ministries.

In this inspiring video, filmed at 3ABN, Dr. Frank M. Hasel shares his personal testimony of how God has sustained him through the extreme grief of losing his wife of 21 years to cancer.

Hasel's testimony is packed with practical tips and ideas on how one can learn to find joy and beauty in life again. Everyone can learn something and will be richly blessed by this testimony!

Prayer expects answers from God. But what happens when the answer is delayed or not fulfilled? In this prayer seminar, given at the General Conference Session in San Antonio, Frank Hasel looks at the spiritual dynamics that take place in challenging prayer times. He also explores the blessings that God has in store for those who persevere and trust His goodness regardless of the outcome.
