What an encouragement unto praise and prayer this is—and especially the two, combined! Yes, on the one hand, we are commanded unto them. So, it is our duty. But, in considering what great place God has assigned to them, we see that it is also our great privilege! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1217201342156804 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 16 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:09:57 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1210201649542035 Those who live in light of the current reign and coming wrath of Christ ought to pray to and praise Him in light of both—rejoicing in His victory, present and future! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1210201649542035 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 09 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:10:59 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12320213564269 God has ordained to do His great works in response to His Son, and He has given His adopted children in Christ the privilege of praying with Him, and having their prayers offered up by Him. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/12320213564269 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 03 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:14:02 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/11262034557803 In between the 6th and 7th seal, all of heaven praises God and the Lamb for saving wrath-deserving sinners. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/11262034557803 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 25 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:09:09 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/112020218515593 Pray with your soul.

By noting some patterns in the prayers of adoration in glory from Revelation 5, we may arm ourselves with a number of things to reflect upon in order to adore the Lord well in prayer. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1114202314375278 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 11 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:14:04 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/115203942800 Praise and prayer are joined together on earth. Praise and prayer are joined together in heaven.

From our Lord during His ministry on earth? Pastor leads his family in this week's pastoral prayer passage. In these four verses, we learn that Christian prayer should prioritize and glorify God's holiness, God's kingdom, and God's will. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10292017688041 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Oct 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:10:58 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1016201743818 Why should believers so eagerly both find out and do whatever pleases the Lord? Pastor leads his family in today's "Hopewell @Home" passage. In these seven verses, we learn that Christ exposes that we are darkness to make us into darkness-exposing light. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/1016201743818 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:09 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10152018452510 Let us pray not according to our impulses but according to the Holy Spirit's written Word. Let us pray not in our power, but depending upon the Holy Spirit's power in our weakness. Let us pray in confidence that the Holy Spirit is also praying for us! Let us pray in the Holy Spirit! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10152018452510 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 14 Oct 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:51 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10820132564317 Often, we hear of a believer's health needs, or a believer asks us to pray for health needs. This Scripture gives us a plan for how to do so: pray first and foremost that their soul would do well, but pray further that God would do for their health whatever enables them to do well in all things. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10820132564317 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 08 Oct 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:13 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/101202113234206 Grace. All that God is (righteous, powerful, good) for all that we are (guilty, weak, wicked). Mercy. The removal of our misery by God's commitment to doing us good. Peace. The steady continuance to us of our total wellbeing, from God's grace and mercy. We are assured of the fact that these will be ours from Christ because of the fact that there is love for God and His church in us, which love has also come from Christ. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/101202113234206 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 30 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:19 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92420181093282 Since we can be sure that the Lord will complete His sanctifying work in our brothers, praying for it is something that we are obligated to do, and in which we may have assurance and joy. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92420181093282 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 23 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:18:39 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/917201818293011 What liberty and joy we would have in prayer, if we did it from Scripture that we might know that it is according to His will, and if we therefore didn't have a shadow of a doubt that we are receiving what we ask for! And, how greatly is this liberty and joy magnified, when we learn to ask for so large a thing as for the greatest thing that there can be: "Hallowed be Thy Name." And how persistently is this liberty and joy renewed, when we learn to ask continually for even the smallest of things: "Give us this day our daily bread." https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/917201818293011 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 16 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:08:41 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/93201548151825 Not only is "And whatever we ask, we receive from Him" a real promise; it is an even better promise than you had previously thought! https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/93201548151825 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 02 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:10 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/827204447407 Prayer is an act of worship in which we call upon God in Christ, laying hold of Him as He has revealed Himself in His Word. This Scripture teaches us that, in confessing our sins, we lay hold of and magnify the perfections of His faithfulness and justice, especially in the actions of His forgiving (justification) and cleansing (sanctification) sinners. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/827204447407 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 26 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:06:37 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/820201634586283 In prayer, we come to our mighty, caring God and Father. And in prayer, we place ourselves under and upon His hand—submitting ourselves under His wisdom, and securing ourselves upon His will https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/820201634586283 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 20 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:13:45 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/813202326217225 We must pray as those who know that God will soon end our opportunity for service under persecution. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/813202326217225 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 13 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:08:03 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/86202144315583 Because Jesus is the great Husband, who dwells with His bride according to knowledge, in an understanding way, and listens to her and attends to all her needs. If earthly husbands do not, the Lord Jesus warns that their prayers will be hindered. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/86202144315583 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 05 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:18:05 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/730201627105152 As those who offer spiritual sacrifices weekly, by faith, in the true tabernacle in heaven, let us diligently pursue holiness and be hungry for that Word by which we are built up as a spiritual house. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/730201627105152 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 29 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:20:02 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/723201714112230 1Peter 1:17 teaches us to pray because God is our Father Who is always available, able, and willing; because God is our Judge Who rules over all and has justified us in Christ; because we need His help for doing works that accord with His judgment; and, because we need His help to resemble Christ well in our limited time on earth. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/723201714112230 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 22 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:14:20 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/71620160295015 Prayer through genuine faith in Christ is always effective. It always works. It accomplishes much, even in the praying of it. This is the truth in Jesus, and must override any earthly-minded assessment of whether a prayer "worked." https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/71620160295015 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 15 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:58 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/71020169575606 The "prayer of faith" is something that the prophet began the letter by talking about, in the context of the eternal hope that gladdens us in the midst of temporal trial. Now at the end of the letter, the prophet affirms that when the elders come and lead the sick believer in this prayer of faith, that prayer is always instrumental and ultimately successful in God's working to give this believer what Jesus has deserved for us. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/71020169575606 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 08 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:11:42 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/7220162642670 The Lord Jesus, Who always prays for us, leads us in prayer by elders. When we are ill, He sends His elders in His Name to remind us that we and our illness are set apart to Him for His glory. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/7220162642670 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 01 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:09:45 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/6252024067625 Since Scripture teaches us that suffering is a providential assignment to pray, we must be in a habit of true, biblical prayer in order to be ready for that duty when the time comes. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/6252024067625 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:07:59 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/61820203981090 The life of the ungodly is about the promises that he has made to himself and his plans to fulfill them. Prayer, however, is exactly the opposite. It lays hold of God's promises that He has made to us, and of His power and intent to fulfill them. It seeks not its own will, but "Thy will be done," and sees in itself not power but the need to receive every day and its bread as a gift from God. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/61820203981090 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 18 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:09:57 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/61120195507446 This devotional was a great blessing. "The devil flees when we resist him by submitting to God and drawing near to God. In drawing near, we must turn away from those sins and disproportionate pleasures that have occupied our hands, hearts, and minds. But, when we come thus in humiliation, we find that rather than shrinking back from us in condemnation, God Himself draws near, lifting us up to Himself in grace!" https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/61120195507446 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:14:28 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/64202011562426 Being controlled by earthly desires disappoints us, debases us, and defiles us. But prayer as true worship satisfies us, strengthens us, and sanctifies us. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/64202011562426 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 03 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:15:14 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/622020836 James 1:5–8 teaches us to pray for that heart of wisdom that numbers our days enables us to count trials joy, and to rejoice in exaltation when poor and humiliation when rich... a desire in which we should be steady and unwavering. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/622020836 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 27 May 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:08:25 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/521201521406713 Since we do not know ourselves well, it is an important part of prayer to pray for elders (and ourselves, and others) that they would both know themselves and have a clear conscience before God, since we will all have to give an account. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/521201521406713 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 20 May 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:04:59 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/51420235423470 Theology proper forms prayer, because those who come to God must believe that He is as He says. Faith facilitates prayer, because it lays hold of God as the One who hears, heeds, heals, and helps us for the sake of Christ and the love in which He gave Him https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/51420235423470 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 14 May 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:05:19 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/5720181042753 2020.05.06 Prayer Meeting Devotional When we come to God through Christ for prayer, we should come with boldness, expectation of effectiveness, mindful consecration unto His holiness, gospel-liberated sincerity, and baptism-sealed assurance. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/5720181042753 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 06 May 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:12:26 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/430201827433181 Jesus is a complete Savior. In Him are justification, adoption, sanctification, glorification, and all other saving benefits. He prays for us, and shapes us to be like Him—people of prayer who come to God through Him. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/430201827433181 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 29 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:10:32 no James Hakim - Prayer Meeting Devotionals
