The Effectiveness of Prayer
Prayer Greenkill Conference Center (Huguenot, NY) Gilmore, Michael 05/03/2015 05/03/2015
Michael handles prayer being effective, not because of the prayer itself or the person praying the prayer, but because of God’s nature and because His Word gives us the assurance that He will answer. He covers the importance of praying with expectation without trying to figure out how God will answer. We are shown examples of people in the Bible praying for things God wants and of believers banding together in prayer for things. The teaching closes by telling us to have expectation from God and to pray for things God wants to happen so His Word can move.

We are shown examples in the Bible of people praying to God publicly and boldly, and how bringing people along in our prayer life gives an opportunity for God to prove Himself.
Intercessory Prayer: Standing in the Gap
Ministry of Jesus Christ Leadership and Service Old Testament Examples Prayer Greenkill Conference Center (Huguenot, NY) Chatten, Bob 05/02/2015 05/02/2015
This teaching is about praying with intercession, using our access to God, on behalf of the believers. It talks about us, as sons of God, standing in the gap with prayer for one another. Jesus Christ, Moses, and Samuel are given as examples as well as Epaphras’ laboring fervently in intercession for the believers in the New Testament. We are told that everything works together for good because of prayer in the spirit, which is speaking in tongues.
Four Things Jesus Christ Taught on Prayer
Ministry of Jesus Christ Prayer Greenkill Conference Center (Huguenot, NY) Armstrong, Joe 05/02/2015 05/02/2015
Joe covered four things Jesus Christ taught about prayer: (1) Just ask, with shamelessness; (2) Be humble, knowing that you need his help and that God doesn’t answer prayers because they’re earned; (3) Spend time alone with God to get to know God; and (4) At times we need to wait for prayers to be answered, so keep praying and don’t faint while you trust firmly in Him.
In the Name of Jesus Christ

Dean opens by discussing the meaning of the name of Jesus Christ biblically and how he is represented in the stars. He continues with showing that Jesus Christ was given a name, he inherited a name, and he acquired a name. Lastly, he reviews from God’s Word the ability we have to use his name and the great authority and power that backs it up.
