Pastor Twists Scripture to Defend Loud Pentecostal Prayer | Nathan Holmes – LIVE SPECIAL

What happens when a preacher takes a preferred style of prayer and turns it into a biblical standard for everybody else? In this LIVE special, we watch Nathan Holmes’ sermon “No Quiet Prayers” in sequence, pausing along the way to examine Hebrews 5, Acts 2, Hannah’s prayer, and the other passages used to connect fervency with volume, tears, exertion, miracles, and the moving of the Holy Spirit. Loud prayer can absolutely be biblical, but Scripture never makes loudness the test of sincere or effective prayer. Biblical prayer is not about generating enough intensity to break through to God; because of Christ, believers are already invited to draw near with confidence.But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:6 ESVLast Week: Did God Really Show You That? | How Pentecostal Preachers Twist Scripture – EP145Show Links:EP120 - Prayer Pressure: How Pentecostals Distort Communion…and How It’s Restored⁠Nathan Holmes - “No Quiet Prayers”⁠Joel Holmes - “prayer log”Resources:DivideTheWord.blogResponsible Faith - YouTubeSpiritualabuse.orgB.I.T.E.
