Welcome to the line of fire as we continue in the school of prayer class is now in session.

Today we talk about building our faith in terms of our prayer lives.

Obviously, if anything requires faith in our relationship with God, it's prayer.

I mean, we're asking him to do things because we believe he's there, we believe he's able,

we believe he's good. So without faith, why would we pray? An atheist is not praying to God

because the atheist does not believe God exists. The agnostic is not praying to God because

the agnostic doesn't think we can ever know if there is a God or not.

And someone who's just a deist, they believe in some creator who made the universe, but he is non-personal.

He doesn't relate to us.

They're not going to be praying to that God.

That God is just a distant being with power.

It created everything but has no relationship with us.

So we're only praying because we believe or because we want to believe.

So let's talk today about deepening our prayer, lives in God.

By the way, because it is our goal to infuse you with faith and truth and courage

to help you stand strong on the front lines, we live to put out resources that will help you.

If you go to the line of fire.org, you'll find several thousand articles archived,

along with several thousand videos or our YouTube channel. The Line of Fire has, I think,

over 3,500 videos, all of them free. Of course, I've written many books that you can buy,

and we have full teaching series that you can buy. If you're a monthly

supporter or torchbearer, then you get free access to our online classes and exclusive video

content. So there are special benefits for those who stand with us as monthly supporters.
