Storming the Gates of Hell with 10

Tuesday, May 06, 2008 Share: |

Had a small group for prayer and praise two weeks ago. 10 to be exact. It was down from our usual 15-20. One thing this group always does is surprise me with its spirit of and heart for worship. We were giving God our worship in a very convicting way and after one song I encouraged and complimented the group by suggesting that we could storm the gates of Hell with the 10 of us. It's not about numbers, it's about hearts. It's not about size, it's about allegiance. It's not about weapons of this world, it's about the weapons of heaven--worship. Surely, Satan shrinks back from those surrendered to the Lord Jesus in worship.

Quotes:

John Bunyan said, Prayer will make a man cease from sin, and sin will make a man cease from prayer.

Leonard Ravenhill said, No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying.
