And so, in the Old Testament, in the life of our Lord, in the Book of the Apostles, my good friend Terry Johnson said, you can read the Book of the Apostles to see that every great advance of the church is preceded by a prayer meeting.

In what ways does prayer operate?
And in the backdrop is this kind of nagging question.
misrepresentation of Calvinism that would say if God is sovereign, then prayer can't change anything.
If God is sovereign, we don't need to pray.
If God is sovereign, we don't need to evangelize.

If God is sovereign, we don't need to eat.
