Prayer is Powerful

Prayer is Powerful

John 14:13 “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:14 “If you ask anything in My name (Jesus Christ), I will do it.

God promises to answer all of our prayers and to grant all of our requests. I have asked God to help me legal problems, financial difficulties and car problems. God has been good and has saved me from all of these problems.

Sometimes physical healing can take longer because there are factors like our diet. If we are eating according to God’s Word our health can be at its best. Sometimes our health is bad because of a curse or evil spirit and you will need help in getting free. The first thing you should do is pray and God will lead.

The closer we are to God in a love relationship the greater and quicker God responds to our petitions. Read the next verse:

Jesus speaking: John 15:7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Our persistence in prayer can produce success in an answer to prayer. Sometimes we need to just keep asking. Our attitude of not giving up moves God because it tells Him that this is really important to you and God loves you and wants to bless you. Read next verse:

Mat 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Mat 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

All of our prayers should be according to God’s Word. God will not give you anything that will harm you. You may ask God for a spouse or friendship and have trouble finding it because He does not want you to be in a bad relationship. There may be a period of waiting for God to bring the right person into your life. This is true about seeking employment, car, house or investment.

1John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

1John 5:15 and if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

One of the best ways to pray is to pray scriptures. This is a prayer that the Apostle Paul prayed for the Church: Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

Ephesians 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Ephesians 3:18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

Ephesians 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. You can pray the above passage of scripture for yourself and the Church, knowing that this is the will of God because the Holy Spirit wrote it and wants this blessing in your life.

Our posture before God should be one of trust, patience and faith. We should have peace about praying because God promises to give us peace when we put our petitions before God like this scripture:

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Let us have confidence in prayer because it is the Fathers good pleasure to give us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32) and He loves us very much and wants us to have an abundant life.
