 EARNEST PRAYER -helm


[b]EARNEST PRAYER[/b]
[i]by Loran W. Helm[/i]

Excerpted from a message preached in Pearisburg, VA. September 1980.


If all the men, women, boys and girls would pray much; pray earnestly, obey and take care of every situation, the Lord God would do a work in these mountains that wouldn’t end in Virginia.

We need to persevere in prayer till the glory comes upon our souls. Then His power will come and that’s when revival will break out. God will send it if there are earnest prayers. He’ll pour His Holy Spirit down wonderfully. It will be like in the days of Charles Finney, Whitfield and Wesley; that touches my heart. People have no idea the wonder in which they could live in prayer if they would persevere to pray.

All ministers should and must pray one to two and even three hours everyday, if possible. Laymen should pray 30 minutes to an hour a day. If we will do it, there will be some wonderful experiences in everyday life. Unbelief, doubt and analyzation hold us back from praying.

What causes us to pray is love and faith. We pray in proportion to the love and faith we have. If we have little love, then we pray little. If we have little faith, then we pray little. If we have great love for God and all people, it puts such a fire in our souls it starts steaming in the prayer life. Our prayers are regulated by love and faith. Our prayers are answered when we obey God. Love and faith are the very life in prayer. If we can persevere in prayer, it will change the community. If all people here will make restitution, pray, believe and obey everything God puts on our heart, He will save a great number of people in this area for many miles. If we will do this, there will be such glory in this church that people will come in and won’t want to leave.

If we will pray, obey and do everything God says, the power will fill the sanctuary five times greater than what we’ve ever seen it. There will be five times greater glory in this sanctuary if everyone will pray 30 to 60 minutes a day and do everything God says to do. If we will pray 30 to 60 minutes a day, everything will go much better. If we are going all for the Lord, we have direct contact with God. If we will pray earnestly 30 to 60 minutes a day, we will have wonderful experiences in prayer. We are going to have to die if we are going to persevere in prayer every day.

If every man and woman will believe and pray 30 to 60 minutes a day, there will be thousands saved. Unless we pray, we won’t hear the voice of Jesus and thus we won’t obey. If we will pray like this for 40 weeks, we will begin to gain some ground. If we pray like this, the power and the kingdom will be in this sanctuary before we get here.



If we persevere in prayer, God will show us why we are lukewarm and without the fire. If we will all, not just two or three, persevere in prayer, God will come down and be the head. His glory will fill this sanctuary. Thousands of souls will either be in Heaven or Hell, according to our earnestness and perseverance in prayer. There will be thousands of souls in Heaven or Hell from all the states and many nations – depending on whether we hear and believe this message to pray. We must all obey and pray. This will cost the death in us.

After we persevere in prayer for a while, God will begin to strengthen us. It may take days, weeks or even seconds, and the Lord touches my heart on seconds.

We must be determined to be obedient and to pray. There will be thousands saved through the earth if we will pray the way we have been instructed. If we do what we have been told tonight, to pray earnestly, God will come down and walk among us and His power will fill the sanctuary. God will send revival if there is enough earnestness in prayer. If we will pray the way we have been instructed, God will begin to reveal Himself in the voice of Jesus. God will reveal Himself to us in proportion to our willingness to die. God wants everything within us - nothing less.


"Revival won't come when many want it - but when a few can't live without it."
