ministryJesus’ disciple John said, “Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.”*
Over the years, Jesus’ disciples have learned to do what he did. And of course one of the hallmarks of Jesus’ life was a commitment to prayer.

Here’s what a few others have said about how to pray:

“…I learned as never before that persistent calling upon the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times, there is simply no other way.” – Jim Cymbala

“Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. God does nothing but in answer to prayer.” – John Wesley

“To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.” – Leonard Ravenhill

“The prayer that sparks revival begins long before the countryside seems to awaken from its slumber in sin. It starts when men fall on their knees and cry out to God. That’s where true intimacy with God takes place and we begin the journey of being transformed into the image of Christ. And as men are transformed, the course of a nation can be changed.” – Wellington Boone

“The true spirit of prayer is no other than God’s own Spirit dwelling in the hearts of the saints. And as this spirit comes from God, so doth it naturally tend to God in holy breathings and pantings.” – Jonathan Edwards

“I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit.” – Oswald J. Smith

“Any church may have a mighty man of God for its pastor, if it is willing to pay the price and that price is not a big salary but great praying.” – R.A. Torrey,

The Power of Prayer

“At the heart of every revival is the spirit of prayer.” – Arthur Wallis

see 1 John 2:6
