If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
The International Prayer Center for Life
Our Prayer Vision
At LIFE International, prayer is how we draw near to God in order to be in touch with His heart for life ministry in the nations. It is our conviction that the battle for life will be won only as we first go to our knees in prayer. We believe it is essential that we have a vibrant, active prayer ministry upholding the work that is simultaneously happening on the front line of the mission field. We regard the Word of God as our authority in prayer and our compass in decision making.
As E.M. Bounds writes on prayer: "How vast are the possibilities of prayer! How wide is its reach! What great things are accomplished by this divinely appointed means of grace! It lays its hand on Almighty God and moves him to do what he would not otherwise do if prayer was not offered. It brings things to pass which would never otherwise occur. The story of prayer is the story of great achievements. Prayer is a wonderful power placed by Almighty God in the hands of his saints, which may be used to accomplish great purposes and to achieve unusual results. Prayer reaches to everything, takes in all things great and small which are promised by God to the children of men. The only limit to prayer are the promises of God and his ability to fulfill those promises. 'Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.'"
