#99 Fasting and Prayer: The Path To Faith - James Graham
Manage episode 151134189 series 1017339
James is a child of God, but he wasn’t always. As a child he went to 4 hour services at church and because it was so interactive, it went by very quickly and was engaging. He is very analytical in his approach to God and his beliefs and this analysis brought him from being a casual believer to a man of God. At times he finds himself looking away from Jesus and he knows that these are the times he faces trouble in his life. This is why he makes prayer the center point of his family life.
In college James questioned the foundation of his faith at his Christian college. For a few years his faith took a back seat to the level that he lost the point of why he had faith at all. The amount of information and change was a force that was difficult to handle and James was not actively involved in a church during this time. During a trip across country, James was challenged to fast and pray about his faith. When he got to D.C., he found a church and attended every event. A member of the church said to him “let’s pray, God told me you will get the job you want.” The next morning he got a call and received the job he prayed for, he was only 22. This was the beginning of his true path and this is his testimony.
A Plain Account of Christian Perfection - John Wesley
A Letter to the Philippians - Polycarp
“Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.” - Hebrew 6:1-3
