The sermon centers on the biblical distinction between coming to God with bold faith and coming with arrogant presumption, emphasizing that true prayer arises from reverence, not demand. Drawing from 1 John 5:14 –15, it teaches that effective, persistent prayer must align with God's will, be rooted in Scripture, and be conducted corporately, as the church is called to be a praying body. The preacher underscores the neglect of church prayer meetings, using Daniel's example to illustrate the power of united, focused intercession, and warns against worldly methods that replace dependence on God. He affirms that God answers prayer not by overriding His will, but by fulfilling His purposes, even when healing or deliverance is not granted, as seen in personal experiences of loss and divine sovereignty. Ultimately, the message calls the church to a deeper, more faithful prayer life, trusting that God hears and acts in accordance with His Word, making prayer a vital force for spiritual revival and transformation. prayer faith church Scripture revival
