Your answer reflects how spiritual you are and how much you are depending on God or on human ability and organization. The first thing the early church did was pray. It’s the last thing the modern church does today. The early church saw mighty things in answer to prayer. We see little today because of the neglect of prayer. Prayer was their first choice. Today it’s our last resort. Before the early church did anything else, they prayed. We do everything else but pray. It was their first priority. It’s our last priority. The New Testament saints had divine enduement without any equipment. Today we have the equipment but not the enduement. If we are weak in prayer, then we are weak everywhere.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mack Tomlinson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mack-tomlinson/do-you-have-a-weekly-prayer-meeting-in-your-church-your-answer/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/35c/mack-tomlinson-54691_first-priority_do-you-have-a-weekly-prayer-meeting-in-y_3125990.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/35c/mack-tomlinson-54691_first-priority_do-you-have-a-weekly-prayer-meeting-in-y_3125990.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/35c/mack-tomlinson-54691_first-priority_do-you-have-a-weekly-prayer-meeting-in-y_3125990.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Do you have a weekly prayer meeting in your church?
