PRAYER

Greeting,
I trust that you where able to spend some time with the Lord today in prayer. Prayer is an awesome way to reach the heart of the lord. I think the Lord for all the prayers that have gone up on my behalf over the years. They are the reason that I am still standing . We all need the prayers of the saints. James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. NLT .We ALL NEED PRAYER!!! AMEN . I think one way satan robs us is through our prayer life. He wants to keep us from kneeling before the Lord because he knows the power of prayer. Prayer changes lives, through prayer we have seen the sick healed, marriage's healed. Prayer moves nations, breaks down strong holds, delivers the oppressed .Prayer along with faith can move mountains in your life. But when you ask Him , be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. There loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:6-8 NLT , When we pray we have to make sure that our motives are pure. Gods takes care of our needs not our wants. Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are wrong_ you want only what will give you pleasure. James 4:3 NLT The Apostles when they re turned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives the bible said they where constantly united in prayer . ACTS 1;14 . They knew the importantance of holding each other up in prayer, we need to learn from them. I hope that we all would spend more time on our knees before God in intercession and not give up until we had and answer . I know that our churches would change and the spirit would start to move and revival would come .I believe in my spirit that we need to be in prayer more now than in anytime in history. I feel such an urgency in preaching to the lost , I know that no man knows the hour of the coming of the Lord but we can look at the signs and know that the time is near. We need the prayers of the saints going up for the lost and for more spirit filled preachers to proclaim the gospel to the lost and dying in this world. We need to support and pray for our missionaries . Pray for divine protections for them and thier families. And pray for each other . AMEN!!! God Bless and keep looking up He is coming soon.
