Prayer. Honest and Loving Prayer. Unites Us to God
As we walk in the presence of God each day. Consistent loving prayers draws Him ever so close.
Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference. (Max Lucado)
Introduction. Prayer has limitless benefits. WHY??? Because God is LOVE, God listens to all prayers and answers each one.
Scripture Reading: Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. (Jeremiah 29:12, ESV)
Yes, blessed loving prayer to Almighty God indeed has limitless benefits and reaps rewards without end. This to us is how much our Lord. Our Heavenly Father loves each of His faithful and obedient children. Our Father has designed prayer to answer all the unique needs of each caller.
The Almighty One provides the resources and talents required for each of His humble servants. Each brand-new day is pre-planned from before the beginning of time itself. For these very reasons. And so much more. Our prayers have unlimited benefits. Plus, countless divine and loving rewards.
Scripture Reading: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (John 15:7, ESV)
Prayer brings about change. Almighty God through prayer changes us from the inside out.
Boasting About Tomorrow
Scripture Readings: Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13–15, ESV)
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26, ESV)
Do we realize what a tremendous gift of love prayer is??? You and I are so blessed to have a God who we can approach. A God who we can call upon at any time. No matter who we are. How lowly our circumstance. How high our social status. How badly our heart is broken. Our Heavenly Father invites one and all to reach out to Him in earnest prayer.
We trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. We also know that prayer has incredible power to change things. (Leslie White, Belief Net Blog)
As we reach out to our Father. As you and I turn to Him with an attitude brimming with confidence and unfailing love. No room for timidity or shyness before our loving Father. For we recall with hearts wide open. Times of answered prayers and days showered with God’s many blessings.
Confidence gained through daily study of His Holy Word. The appreciation that God is able to do far more than we ever ask. Dare we ask for miracles. We dare and we shall.
The truth is. That love is God. God is LOVE. As and when we approach God Almighty. It is and always must be with the confidence gained by experience. For it is God’s Sovereign promise to each of His beloved children. The more we pray to Him. The closer He draws near to us.
Scripture Reading: Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8a, ESV)
We may ask ourselves. How does prayer have the ability? The power to change our very life. Again, we search God’s Holy Word for the answers to these life-changing questions. Once more we seek the guidance of God the Holy Spirit. Again, as in the past we remember. With God as our supportive and loving partner. Indeed, anything is possible.
You and I spend quality and planned prayer time each day with our Father. Plus, silent and consistent prayers as we walk in His presence every day. This is how we experience God’s incredible power of prayer. The consistency of our prayer experience. Is indeed changing our life. One loving and answered prayer at a time.
Scripture Reading: Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16, ESV)
It is only by praying for miracles. That miracles do and shall be performed.
How do I know. I prayed for one. And God answered my prayer. The miracle was performed. May God be forever praised. AMEN!
Sadly, the world and many churches are screaming at us. Miracles can and do no longer occur. I promise to you this is not the case. Jesus Christ is God the Son. God never changes. Add these two attributes together and what do we get. The promise that Jesus today performs His miracles still. The secret. The promise of God. Again, prayer.
Scripture Reading: And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. (Matthew 21:21, ESV)
Have you a need, as I did, for a miracle? Well, our Father does not demand some extra-ordinary prayer. Simply a prayer of belief. A prayer to our Heavenly Father acknowledging He hears and answers our call.
Scripture Reading: Robbing God
For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6, ESV)
This Holy text re-instates our belief. Our confidence that our miracle shall indeed happen. Our miracle shall be performed by Jesus in Heaven. If not, as we plan and hope for. Or as we dream and wish for. But as our Lord, our God so chooses. All we need to know and believe is our miracle shall be performed by Jesus.
