EPHESIANS 6:18

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

 

Some have said that prayer is the nerve that moves God's arm to bring about His will in our lives.  So even if it's His will to do something we need to pray about it to get it done.

 

 

Jesus said if we pray asking anything in His name it will be done as we have asked, He also said "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

 

 

He also told us by parable that prayer is so powerful that it can move mountains, but He warned us never to give up.  He told the widow to keep going to the Judge to give her Justice.

 

 

I knew a Lady once who was married to a man [I realy knew these people, this is not an internet fabrication or 'story'] who was a Minister but he really wasn't a Christian, She prayed for him for 11 years and he finally did "get saved" and is now serving God with his whole heart.  But her prayer took 11 long years to happen.

 

 

I used to belong to a very on-fire group that held meetings where things really happened, but it was strange, one person would pray for the blindness of another and his own vision instantly became perfect.  People prayed and prayed and prayed and miracles happened all the time, People got saved, people were healed, the captives were set free.

 

 

Often I've heard the phrase, "well I prayed about that and I had no answer"....., but.... maybe we did get an answer, Maybe our answer is to "wait" or maybe, God is wanting to see how committed we are to whatever it is we are asking for.  

Never believe God does not want to do good for you and me and the world.  All the time God is good.  Your prayers are being answered even if it doesn't look like it today.

 

 

    2TH 1:11 With this in mind, I constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. I pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 

Lord, I lift up my Nation and ask that you turn us back to You, I ask that you forgive me for my many and greivous sins and for those of my Nation, I ask that you heal our land and return us to sanity, That you reign again as Our God, That we again become one Nation Under God, and that our is in You alone.  Please be our Leader that we can follow in all confidence, knowing that you are Good all the time. In Jesus Name. Amen.
