Fervent prayer is really a bench mark of a healthy New Testament church. Prayer is one of the hardest things to get going in places of worship. I recall the country's typical for prayer gatherings was approximately five percent attendance. That could be precisely why quite a few ministries tend to be dull and exanimate. Not so inside New Testament apostolic places of worship.
After you enter an apostolic church you'll quickly come across fervency in the prayer life of the people. Apostolic folks are praying people. These types of people realize that vigorous fervent prayer enables much of The lord's power reachable. Scripture states, "The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16).
In 2 Chronicles 20:4-7 the Israelites under King Jehoshaphat were attacked by several enemy armies and one of their cities was captured. From their stressful situation, we can learn how to call on the Lord and pray for our stressful situations. The first thing that King Jehoshaphat did when he stood in the house of the Lord to pray, was to declare that God was in control in heaven and here on earth.
