Truth Trek

Ever wondered about the secrets of George Whitfield's extraordinary prayer life and evangelistic zeal? Our latest bonus episode of Truth Trek takes you on a revealing journey into the life and ministry of this prodigious preacher, whose dedication to prayer was the true engine behind his powerful sermons. We dissect Whitfield's principles for self-examination, particularly his belief in time spent alone with God as the pivotal catalyst bringing humankind and divinity together. From Whitfield's earnest dedication to prayer, often engaging in extended periods of communion with God, we uncover the roots of his resolute confidence in a God who hears his intercession.
Drawing inspiration from Steve Lawson's book "The Evangelistic Zeal of George Whitfield", we shed light on Whitfield's spiritual journey and his personal principles that made him one of history's most influential evangelists. Focusing on Whitfield's prayerful life, we discuss how his intimate communion with God was the key source of power in his ministry. We touch upon Whitfield's belief that prayer was a necessary spiritual discipline for the grounding and growth of his soul, with the more he prayed, the more powerfully he preached, and the more sinners were converted to Christ. We end our episode with a prayer, echoing Whitfield's fervor, pleading for God's grace to touch the lives of those around us and enhance our opportunities to evangelize the world. Join us as we traverse this fascinating spiritual journey, shedding light on the potent combination of faith, prayer, and evangelism.
