Prayer

“And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.” Luke 18:1

“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” John 14:13

Calling all Christians – all those who trust in Jesus Christ and follow Him – all Christians from any denomination, any color, any age, and any background – come and pray with us every weekday at noon. We are begging God for revival in our churches, in the Olney neighborhood, in Philadelphia, in the United States, and to the ends of the earth! We meet at Olney Baptist Church at the red door at the corner of Chew Avenue and American Street.

Come at any time between 12pm and 1pm – stay the whole hour or stay for 5 minutes – whatever your schedule allows.

We also meet every Wednesday night at 7pm for our Corporate Prayer Meeting and Bible Study.

Go here to see Prayers For The Church From The Bible.

Watch this video to see how God worked mightily through a prayer meeting in New York City.

May God do it again here! May He pour out a spirit of prayer and passion for Him in Philadelphia and in cities all around the world! Come join us!

J. C. Ryle wrote this about prayer: “Nothing seems to be too great, too hard, or too difficult for prayer to do. It has obtained things that seemed impossible and out of reach. It has won victories over fire, air, earth, and water.

Prayer opened the Red Sea. Prayer brought water from the rock and bread from heaven. Prayer made the sun stand still. Prayer brought fire from the sky on Elijah’s sacrifice. Prayer turned the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. Prayer overthrew the army of Sennacherib.

Well said Mary Queen of Scots, ‘I fear John Knox’s prayers more than an army of ten thousand men.’ Prayer has healed the sick. Prayer has raised the dead. Prayer has procured the conversion of souls. ‘The child of many prayers,’ said an old Christian to Augustine’s mother, ‘will never perish.’ Prayer, pains, and faith can do anything.”

So let us pray!

  • Christ Loved His Enemies Though We Hate, And Turned From God Like Reprobate; In This Is Love He’d Demonstrate, The Wrath Of God In Fullest Weight; Would Fall On Christ To Devastate. He Died For Sinners Rose Up Great, To Change Our Hearts And Kill Our Hate, By Faith Alone New Life Create, And In His Love We Satiate. Now Love Like Him Who’d Liberate, Our Perfect Father Imitate, Who Loves The Good And Bad Who Hate!

  • Christ Gave Us More Than Tooth And Eye; God’s Perfect Justice Magnify. We Take And Take “For Me!” We Cry, But He Gave All For Sinners Die, And Bore God’s Wrath Forsaken Why; So It Is Finished Risen High. Now Death Shall No More Terrify, By Faith Alone He’ll Justify. Our Heart’s He’ll Change And Purify; All Selfishness We’ll Crucify, To Give And Give And Glorify. Our God Alone Will Satisfy!
    Joseph Randall, February 7, 2021
  • Jesus Spoke What’s Good And True. He Is The Truth; The God-Man Jew, Who Lived And Spoke Like No One Knew; And Our God Swore To Send Him To, Bear God’s Wrath For Me And You. He Died To Hell And Sin Undue, But Now He’s Risen; Death Is Through. By Faith Alone We’re All Made New; Reflecting God In All We Do. We Tell The Truth And Lies Subdue; In All His Glory We Pursue!

  • Christ Will Never Divorce His Bride. He Loved And Served And For Her Died, Then Rose Ensuring She’d Abide, In Him Forever By His Side; So When We Marry He’s Our Guide, By Faith Alone We’re Justified, And Selfish Pride Is Mortified, So Husbands Never Leave Your Bride; And Wives Be Faithful Don’t Divide. In This The Christ Is Glorified, His Name Be Praised By All Worldwide!
