THEME: THE PRAYER


PAST ISAAC
BIBLE VERSE: 1SAMUEL 1:9-13
1 SAMUEL 1:9
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they
had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple
of the LORD.
1 SAMUEL 1:10
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and
wept sore.
1 SAMUEL 1:11
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt
indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me,
and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a
man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life,
and there shall no rasor come upon his head.
1 SAMUEL 1:12
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD,
that Eli marked her mouth.
1 SAMUEL 1:13
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her
voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

DEF: Prayer Is Bringing Man To God Not God To Man.

 WE DON’T COME TO CHURCH TO SEE MEN BUT WE COME TO


CHURCH TO TALK WITH GOD

THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS, 1950-0813A, - (CLEVELAND,


OHIO, U.S.A.)
22 Now, he said… Now, notice, sometimes in that day, like it is now
when our prayers are a little bit lingered, we become dull, sense-
bound. So Zacharias doubted that that could be so. He didn't believe
it. And notice, after he had plenty of examples…
Now, Sarah and Abraham, how old they were when Isaac was born…
Hannah came to the temple past the age of bearing, went to the
temple that day to serve God. Probably the women all went up to
Shiloh, maybe to see what kind of hats one another wore, but not
Hannah. She went up with something in her heart. She wanted to
talk to God. And she prayed in such deep sincerity, till the priest
misunderstood her.
Like today, sometimes we're called fanatics because we pray and cry
out to God. We're just… We're not fanatics: misunderstood; that's all.

 PRAY WITH SINCERITY


SHOW US THE FATHER AND IT WILL SUFFICE US, 1950-0819, -
(CLEVELAND, OHIO, U.S.A.)
8 There's a little lady, setting right there with a white-looking dress
on, young girl; you're trying your best for me to say something,
aren't you, sister? Do you believe with all your heart? And when I
walked on the platform awhile ago, you started praying, or
something or another, didn't you? Because I turned around, I
noticed you were praying or something. You were wanting me to tell
you that what—what's wrong and what… Isn't that right?
Let me go to telling you a little story. You're just a young woman. We
know that by looking at you. But one time, there was a woman in the
3

Bible, something of your nature, and she promised the Lord what
she would do if the Lord would just bless her. Is that true? She goes
up to the temple to pray about it one day (Is that right?), this
woman. And the priest misunderstood her. And she prayed with
such sincerity for God to take away her reproach, until she was
misunderstood. Is that right? And the temp—priest of the temple
came out and said, "The Lord grant to you your desire." And in nine
months from then, she had her desire (Wasn't that right?), a little
baby.
God bless you, sister. And may God give you the child that you're
desiring right there. Don't worry, mother. I believe that she'll
embrace a child soon. Now, just have faith and believe with all your
heart.

 PRAYER CHANGED FROM DEATH TO LIFE


THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, 1953-0604, - (CONNERSVILLE, INDIANA
U.S.A.)
20B Now, look what prayer does. Prayer changed from death to life.
God had said, "The man's going to die." And I believe Isaiah told the
truth. He was borned a prophet, and his words were true and came
from God. And then Hezekiah's prayer changed the opinion of God.
Oh, my. I like that. Prayer changes things. It's the most powerful
force that God ever put in the hands of man, is a sincere prayer
offered to God. Jesus said, "Whatever you ask the Father in My
Name, that I'll do." Believe it. Try it once, and see if it isn't true.
 PRAYER IS THE WEAPON
DO YOU NOW BELIEVE?, 1953-1106, - (OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY,
U.S.A.)

12 Now, many times it turns dark around the patient. I know death’s
laying there. And I just say, “The Lord bless you.” Or, “I pray that God
will heal you.” And—and send them on off the platform. For I don’t
know what it will be. ’Cause sometimes God could pronounce death
on a person, and then their prayer could change the thing. Do you
believe that? It did for Hezekiah, didn’t it? When God told the
prophet, “Go tell him he’s going to die, and not come off his bed.” He
turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly. And God spared his life
fifteen years after death had been pronounced by God. Prayer is the
most powerful weapon was ever put in the hand of man kind. “The
prayer faith shall save the sick.”
