SUNDAY 25TH
BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF YOUR PRAYERS
Mark 11:24 (AMP), “For this reason I am telling you, whatsoever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you and you will (get it).”
There is so much to prayer than the words that comes out of your mouth or the posture of your body. The quality and potency of your prayer is determined by the foundation of faith and assurance in your heart; faith, belief, assurance and confidence. These are the true foundations of a result-full prayer. Hebrews 10:35 says, “Cast not away your confidence which has a great recompense of reward.” Listen, when you get your confidence (based on God’s word} right, you have gotten your prayers right and when your confidence is low, the potency of your prayers will also be low simply because the reward you seek is in confidence!
Again we see the word “confidence” used in line with the issue of prayer in 1 John 5:14-15. It says, “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask (pray for) anything according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.”
Dear friend, fill your heart with faith every time you pray, believe in the potency of your prayer. Prayer is communication with your Father; it is not just for Pastors or Bishops. God listens and acts on your prayer with the same seriousness as He listens to your Pastor! It will always be according to the measure of your faith…SIMPLY BELIEVE!
FURTHER STUDY: James 5:16b-17 (AMP), “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man maketh tremendous power available (dynamic in its working). Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have…and he prayed earnestly for it no to rain, and no rain fell on the earth…”
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF MY PRAYER. GOD LISTENS AND ACTS POWERFULLY WHEN I PRAY, I AM IN COMMAND!
ACTION POINT: Pray in faith, effect changes today.
