Subject: Entertaining God

A Message by Doug Small

Dear Friend,

Prayer is so much more than just asking the Lord for a wish list of desired items and outcomes. Actually, when we pray, we are hosting the very presence of God and communing with Him!


Do you invite God’s presence and work in every aspect of your life? The Lord wants to show Himself strong on your behalf! But to do so, He has called us to seek Him in prayer and ask Him to do what only He can do. 


In this Message of the Month, Doug Small passionately expounds the importance and power of “entertaining the presence of God.”

He recounts story after story of God working mightily on behalf of His people. These acts were as a result of their prayerfully inviting God’s presence and His working in specific situations.


Whether a prison in Argentina that was transformed by the prayers of inmates or an agnostic college professor’s entire class impacted by the faith-filled prayer of one student, Doug Small’s message of such true accounts is sure to stir your faith in our prayer-answering God! 


We chose this prayer-focused message for the Message of the Month because we desire to see God bring forth great awakening and revival.

As we see the importance of prayer and the great need for it in our lives, we invite you to attend one of our upcoming Men’s Prayer Summits. These events will be held November 21–23 and hosted in Big Sandy, Texas; Oak Brook, Illinois; and Watersmeet, Michigan. For more information and to sign up, please visit Men’s Prayer Summits. 


What if you are unable to join us in person in this Prayer Summit? Simply respond to this email, and we will send you information on how you can join us in prayer from your home via a video call connection that weekend. We will be offering several free messages on prayer on our website for you to access during that time. You can find them here; we hope they deepen your walk with the Lord through prayer!


We trust that this message encourages you and inspires you to entertain God’s presence in your daily life!


Blessings in Christ,
