BIBLE CLASS

By Robert Arthur Prayer is one key or tool that unlocks divine door of favor in believer's life. We have the opportunity to learn from the faithful believers who prayed earnestly during their times of afflictions and trials. They could have relented (given up) their faith, but trusted in the Lord who says "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" Mat 21:22 Therefore their strong convictions in the Maker changed the seeming  negative status quo in their lives for the better. Learn from those who prayed in their tough times! 1. Jabez ....1 Chron 4:9-10 2. King Hezekiah ... Isa 38:1-9 3. Hannah ... 1 Sam 1:9-20 4. Paul & Silas ... Acts 16:16-28 5. Early church fathers ... Acts 1:13-14; 12:1-11
