There is power through prayer. For many Christians, prayer is nothing special, just something we're supposed to do - go to church, tithe, read the Bible, pray. But prayer should be so much more than an item on our "to do" lists.
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.
