No one can have a spiritual awakening unless they first experience a spiritual imprisonment. The Galatian Christians were soon removed from the Gospel of grace (2). They knew about it, but they had not allowed the grace of God to be established in their hearts. Contrarily, the apostle Paul states,...

“Be unceasing in prayer – praying perseveringly” (I Thessalonians 5:17, Amplified). Luke 18:1 (Amplified) says, “(Jesus) told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward – faint, lose heart and give up.” What a magnificent verse! Acts 12:5 says, “So Peter...
