In this blog we will be looking at specific prayer. Specific prayer is prayer that is clearly defined, precise, and exact. To many times we pray amiss, and it is for very selfish things that will be consumed on our lust. There are burdens; sickness, financial, children and grandchildren, and so forth that should take…

In this blog we will be looking at determined prayer. Many of Christians give up before the prayer could be answered. We live in such an instant gratification society that if a prayer does not get answered immediately then Christians give up and move on. Sometimes a prayer is answered immediately but sometimes it is…

In this blog we will be looking at the second section of modeled prayer. I have been told before by Christians that they are not sure exactly how to pray. We will look at the model prayer that Jesus gave to the disciples. Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in…

In this blog we will be looking at the first section of modeled prayer. Many people wonder, when should I pray? Unfortunate, a lot of Christians only go to God when they are in need of something. Whether it be financial aid from God, family problems, work problems, or even something that is wanted but…

For the next few blogs, we will be looking at prayer and the importance of prayer. Leonard Ravenhill said, “The Cinderella of the Church today is the prayer meeting. This handmaid of the Lord is unloved and unwooed because she is not dripping with pearls of intellectualism, nor glamorous with the silks of philosophy, neither…

The fifth view of the rapture that we will be looking at is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory. Those who hold to this view believe that the rapture will happen before the seven-year tribulation. This view sees Israel and the church as two separate entities. This is the view that I hold and adhere to. Romans…

The fourth view of the rapture that we will be looking at is the Post-Tribulation Rapture Theory. This view believes that the rapture will happen at the end of the tribulation. They believe that the rapture and the return of the Lord are one event and that the church will go through the tribulation rather…

The Third view of the rapture that we will be looking at is the Mid-Tribulation Rapture Theory. This view believes that the rapture takes place in the middle of the Tribulation period. In revelation 11 we see the two witnesses. Revelation 11:3-6 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two…

The second view of the rapture that we will be looking at is the Pre-Wrath Rapture Theory.  This view was first presented by Robert Van Kampen when he released his view of the three-quarters rapture theory in the late 1970s which was the start of the Pre-Wrath theory. Marvin Rosenthal in The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church (Nashville: Nelson, 1990) was…

The first view of the rapture that we will be looking at is the Partial Rapture View. The believers that hold to this view believe that the rapture is Pre-Tribulation, but in their view, only the faithful Christians will be raptured out but the unfaithful Christians will be left behind.  To back up their view…
