The Main Thing – Ken Barnes

Rejoice always, pray continually, (1 5:16-17 Thessalonians NIV)

Peter Lord, a retired Floridian Pastor, said on many occasions, “the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. The primary way that God does things on this earth is through prayer.

I worked with Youth With A Mission for seventeen years. One day in an intercessory prayer group in Kona, Hawaii, in the 1970s, one of the intercessors saw in her mind’s eye a ship coming around the north Kona coast. Another group member said I believe God wants to give YWAM an ocean vessel. They started praying in this vein, followed by many other prayer groups praying for a ship. Sometime afterward, we saw the MV Anastasis, YWAM’s first ship, come around the northern coast of Kona. That ship ministry spun off from YWAM and became Mercy Ships, promoted on TV today. All this happened because a small group of people listened to what God had to say and started to pray his will into existence.

Pastor Lord taught that the main thing was prayer as two-way communication—listening and speaking to God. Praying without listening to God is like shooting a gun without aiming. Hitting your target would be random. Even a blind squirrel occasionally happens upon a nut, but not very often. It seems to me that one reason we may not get an answer to our prayers is that we could be praying out of the will of God. If this is true, why not discern how to pray before we pray?
 
Yes, prayer is how God gets things done on this earth, but he may have another reason—a relationship with him. Without two-way communication, you cannot build a relationship with a person or God. Let’s keep prayer as the main thing to get to know God and accomplish his purposes in the process.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member.

It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
