Practicing Powerful Prayer

James 5:17,18

The generation of the great revivals are passing, and those who have
seen the mighty power of God sweep across our nation are almost gone. Is it possible for a young person today to see God's power in their personal prayer life? As Christians we must learn the keys to a powerful prayer life.

2. A powerful prayer life requires TRUST and OBEDIENCE!

3. A powerful prayer life demands God gets the GLORY!
