Gorge Gospel Riders is commited to prayer as a foundational principle in our mission of sharing the message of Jesus Christ with the world. There are some very good reasons why we should be praying consistently both individually and as a chapter:
- There is no greater honor and privelege then to have an audience with the Creator of the universe. We are invited to take counsel with the One who embodies all truth and wisdom. The privilege of prayer was bought for us by the blood of Jesus Christ so that we may have entrance into the throne of grace.
- We are in a fierce battle. The bible says that Lucifer, the great deciever, is going to and fro in the earth “seeking whom he may devour.” This means that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but spiritual powers in high places. In a battle such as this we need the help of God. Prayer arms us for this battle. Jesus Himself found it necessarry to pray. We should follow his example.
- Prayer is a deterrent to sin in our lives. When we earnestly seek God in our prayer times, God exposes all our rationalizations and excuses for sin in our lives, which moves us toward repentance.
- Prayer works!! People are healed, strength is imparted, guidance is given, hearts are softened, needs are met, and it changes us.
