*The Power Of Prayer: What Is It And Why It Works* 

   

In Mark 11:2, Jesus tells His followers:

“So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

There’s immense power in the prayer of a righteous Christian.

The knowledge that there is power in prayer is not new. Many of the greatest stalwarts in the Bible turned to prayer constantly because they understood what it could do for them.

Today, thousands of people see miracles in their lives by tapping into this very same power in prayer. And this power of God is available to you. 

Let’s look at what this power is, why it works, and how to tap into it.


 *What is the power of prayer?* 

There are many times we feel powerless in our lives, especially in the face of difficult circumstances. By ourselves, we can do nothing. 

The scriptures confirm this. In John 15:5, Jesus says, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”

We recognize the need for God’s power. This is the same power by which God created the heavens and the Earth. It’s the same power that parted the sea for Moses and that Jesus used to heal the sick and cast out demons.


 It was that power that raised Christ from the dead and brought a baptism of fire on the first Christians.

All these miracles happened through the power of prayer. Moses prayed before Yahweh. Jesus prayed to the Father for miracles. The early Christians prayed together in the Upper Room.

Whether it was Daniel in the lion’s den or Elijah before the false prophets, prayer constantly served the important figures of the Bible. And we can harness that same power in our lives today.

God gives us this power through His Holy Spirit. 


Paul tells the Ephesians in 1:18-19:

“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Him …and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power for us who believe, according to the working of His great power.”

Our Heavenly Father gives us this power through His son Jesus. There is power in Jesus’s name. 

In John 14:13, Jesus says: 

“I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”


 *Why prayer works* 

In her book “The Power of Praying Woman,” Stormie Omartian says, “We have to put our expectations in the Lord and not in other things or people.”

Prayer works because God wants our complete dependence on Him. He wants us to recognize that without Him, we can’t transcend our limitations.


God is the source of our fulfillment. He is and wants us to make Him the answer to our longings. Prayer draws us into a deep relationship with God.

Our prayer life brings us closer to Him through honest communication, just as any child does with their parents.


 *What does it achieve?* 

Prayer changes us first. In our busy lives, too often, we don’t pray enough. Or we pray for our most pressing needs and treat God as a genie. 

Deep, intimate prayer draws us close to the heart of God. It helps us become more like Him. Prayer lets us hear the Father’s voice and direction. It inspires us and gives us answers. It reveals our flaws and perfects us. It is an avenue by which we can repent and be forgiven for our sins.

It's never late ‼️ you can start a journey of prayer today by asking for the leading of the holy Spirit ‼️ 


We will continue from here tomorrow 🙏

I Will Build My Church - Matthew16:13-19

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
