How was Abraham an intercessor?The intercessor, Derek points out, is the one who stands between God and that which is being prayed for. Abraham was an intercessor When the Lord told him that He was going to destroy Sodom, Abraham stood in between and pleaded for mercy.

We can show our gratitude by speaking well of our country, the United States. What we say and our attitude toward our nation and leaders has a profound effect—for good or for evil. Derek explains, “I question whether the great majority of Americans have any concept of how much harm is brought to our nation by persistent, negative, critical talk.” You can listen to this insightful message and others from the series, “Let’s Show Our Gratitude.”

Christians bring flavor and God’s favor to the nation! And, as we stand up for righteousness, we also hold back corruption and judgment. In this message from the series, “Let’s Show Our Gratitude,” Derek explains how “our presence should be decisive in the destiny of our nation.”

America is a blessed nation. And praying for our country is not optional. It is something Scripture charges us to do. We need to be thankful for the benefits we enjoy and pray for “good government” that will support godly principles and religious freedom. Listen to this wonderful message taken from the series, “Let’s Show Our Gratitude” and you’ll hear Derek explain why.

Today’s message is from the series, “Let’s Show Our Gratitude.” You’ll enjoy not only hearing about why the Pilgrims came to America, but you’ll also get to hear Derek’s personal story. This is a time to remember with gratitude that we live in this nation!

Why did the Pilgrims take that long, arduous journey, face all those risks and hardships? To fully understand why we celebrate Thanksgiving in America, we must first understand the historical background of the Pilgrims. As you listen today to this message taken from the series, “Let’s Show Our Gratitude,” you will discover some important facts about the Pilgrims and a miracle they received.

What a tremendous privilege and responsibility it is to be able to speak to the God of the whole universe in such a way that we actually influence His actions. One specific way for us to humble ourselves is by fasting—and Derek gives prime examples from Scripture.

In order for us to be effective in praying for our nation, we must keep in mind the examples that Jesus presented to us in Matthew’s gospel. We were instructed to salt, light and a city that is set on a hill. What does that mean and how are we to implement it?

When we pray according to the will of God, the possibilities are limitless. We have the power not only to affect our personal lives, but also to affect nations and governments. This message will grab your attention as you hear specific instances where Derek personally witnessed history being shaped by prayer.

Did you know that there are three important truths that will open up limitless possibilities in prayer? And that our prayers are critical for God to have his will and ways with the government? Learn more about this today…

In order to pray effectively, we must know what the Word of God says. Derek uses as his example the life of Elijah and brings out the ways in which his prayers were effective. The New Testament church also exercised effective corporate prayers—even over the rule of Herod.

The entire creative power of God can work through us when God’s Spirit and His Word are combined in our prayers! God’s Spirit always works through and with God’s Word. Learn more about praying more powerfully as you listen today…

We all want our prayers answered, and that’s exactly what we’ve been discussing: How to pray and get what we pray for. The only kind of prayer that is acceptable to God is one that is directed by the Holy Spirit, for we do not know how to pray as we should.

It does no good to pray if you have anything against anybody. First reconcile with your spouse, your sibling, your boss or your child. Then come to God with a clear conscience, and your prayers will not be hindered.

God does not see as a man sees, but God looks at the heart. What is your motive? God is interested in that aspect of you. So we will begin by finding out that there is only one right motive for praying…

God wants us to pray and get what we pray for, but there are requirements we must fulfill as we approach God in prayer. Today we are going to learn about an element of successful praying, but in two aspects—the negative and the positive.

When you pray it is necessary to first give thanks—for all that God has done and all that He is going to do. The more you worship and praise and thank Him, the more you’ll believe He is able to meet your current needs.

Jesus stated this Himself: “If you ask anything in My name” and “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father might be glorified in the Son.” Who would want to bypass Him in the face of such promises? Jesus has done it all on our behalf.

What an encouraging message this is! Learn that when we approach God in prayer, we must come to God in faith. Not a doctrinal kind of faith, not theology, but faith in God’s faithfulness, in His character, in His reliability.

Let Jesus be your example as you say to the Lord, like Jesus, “Not my will, but Yours, be done.” Be willing to renounce your own will, putting down your rebellious ways.
