“Prayer” is uniquely human. Whether they realize it or not, everyone prays. Some address a deity, while others simply “wish” or seek “good vibes.” Yet the fact remains: at one time or another, every person prays. Still, remarkably few ever see genuine fruit from this most basic spiritual act. Scripture declares that the God of the Bible answers prayer, unlike …
Three Times a Day: Living in Prayer
In recent months, something has been stirring within the Board of Trustees of The Living Truth Fellowship. Over the past few years, each of us has been drawn into a deeper focus on prayer. It wasn’t planned, and it was never discussed, yet prayer has become the center of our lives. Just a few weeks ago, Marc reminded us that …
The Depth of Prayer
Marc Dickie delivers a stirring message that true faith is not proven by words or mental assent but by obedience to God. To believe while living in disobedience is a contradiction, for surrendering our will to God’s commands is the only path to genuine spiritual freedom. He warns against diluted doctrines that reduce faith to surface-level practice, reminding us that …
A Dangerous Prayer
The character Maverick, the F-14 pilot in Top Gun, and King David had something in common—neither was afraid to take the highway to the danger zone. Maverick defied authority, often putting himself and others at risk. His reckless maneuvers and tendency to abandon his wingman showed a pride-driven disregard for limits. King David, however, entered the danger zone out of humility. …
Prayer’s Role in Spiritual Life
Mark Dickey taught on the role of prayer in spiritual life, using the Lord’s Prayer as a model. He emphasized that prayer is not just asking for needs but an intimate father–child relationship that builds closeness with God and strengthens believers. Mark urged a return to daily prayer, noting that modern culture has drifted from biblical teaching, and reminded the …

In this audio teaching, you’ll learn how prayer was central to their lives and how it can be to yours as well. Marc Dickie will take you on a journey through the …
A Dialogue With God
For more years than I care to admit, my prayers consisted solely of me talking to God at length. I would go on and on, asking Him for this or that, thanking Him for past blessings, and praising Him for His love and goodness. But I never listened to what God had to say! “But when ye pray, use not …
Looking to Jesus in Prayer
Jesus taught that if we ask for anything in his name, believing that we will receive it, we shall. But what does it truly mean to believe? What action does belief necessitate? Jesus provides insight into this in John 3:14–15, referencing Numbers 21:7–8. In the Old Testament passage, God instructed the Israelites, who were bitten by serpents, to look at …
Beyond Bible Knowledge
On December 30, 2024, at 8pm, TLTF had a group of Christian believers unite on a Zoom call to pray. We opened with a beautiful video narration of Jesus’ last prayer before he was taken in the Garden of Gethsemane to be crucified. That prayer is one I’ve never really taken much time to meditate on, but it is profoundly …
Transactions & Transformation
Shortly after last month’s newsletter was sent out, a friend reached out to me via email. He expressed, “I found your recent brief piece on prayer both uplifting and inspiring, so thank you for that.
