Sermon Tone Analysis

We sing the song which say, just a little talk with Jesus make it right, all right.

Well my brothers and sisters that is what prayer is.

Just talking to Jesus.

You know, we are living in a complex age and a confused world.

We are faced with decisions and we carry responsibilities which probably no other generation has ever faced.

But yet to many people, prayer is a lost art.

My brothers and sisters, we stumble along life’s way, trying to bear our burdens alone, trying to find the right path to walk, when all the time, God is just waiting for us to call upon him.

The most serious charge that can be brought against Christians today, is that they don’t pray enough.

We worry, we fret, we fuss, but we don’t pray as we should.

God says, call unto me, but we turn our backs on Him and call on our own resources.

No wonder we are such weak Christians.

Don’t you know that the great men of the bible were men of prayer.

Don’t you know that they could not get along without constant communion with God? Moses had a big job God commissioned him to lead more than two million people out of the slavery of Egypt into the freedom of the promised land.

He confessed his weakness, his inability to do the job, but God assured him that he would be with him all the way.

Over and over Moses reminded God of that promise, by calling on him in prayer.

And think of what a man of prayer David was.

Most of his psalms were fervent prayers to the Almighty God.

And if he was not praying, he was testifying to the way in which God did answer his prayers.

Now, my brothers and sisters, Elijah could pray!

Anytime a man can pray and God shut up the heavens and hold back the rain for more than three years, He can pray.

And then pray again and God open up the heavens and let it rain, He Can Pray! John the Baptist prayed in the wilderness and came forth as a giant for God.

Peter and the little handful of Believers prayed for ten days, and the power of the Holy Spirit fell and three thousand were saved in one day.

Now we can’t forget about Brother Paul and Brother Silas, the Bible said that at midnight they began to sing and pray.
