I remember a night, many years ago, our late pastor father called the church to prayer. He said, "In fact, that might be all we do tonight is have a good prayer meeting". In the midst of the prayer meeting, his backslidden son slipped in the door and came to the alter, knelt down and wept his way back to God. Our father and mother had wept and prayed for this brother, who was not living at home, single. He had become involved with friends, etc., that had not influenced him for good.
Just prior to our brother walking in the door, while down praying, another brother spoke and said, "That which you have prayed for, is nigh, even at the door! The door opened and in walked our brother who came and knelt at the alter.
Don't tell me it is all in a loud shout, loud speaking, or even talent! THE ANOINTING still breaks the yoke of bondage! Sincere, honest prayer is sorely needed today.
