Praying the word of God works when you face giants and mountains. Sometimes we face big-time problems that need quick prayer answers. During one of these periods, I was facing a difficult situation. I was in a David versus Goliath battle and needed God’s help in a hurry. To me, it seems God is never in a hurry.
Powerful prayer that works, Bible prayer, begins with worship. The most precious thing you can give God is worship. Worship is adoration, veneration, and thankfulness. Praise is an act of worship. Scripture has much to say about praise.
It’s important for you to discover. Prayer, talking with your heavenly Father, is one of the most powerful things you can do, but the power of prayer, effective prayer needs to be learned. Powerful prayer is Biblical prayer.
Some say God is always talking. There is much truth in that, but in my life there were many times when I just couldn't hear a thing. Perhaps you have had the same experience. You pray, listen, and hear nothing. "What's going on?" you ask. There is an interesting thing about our Lord; he likes it when we trust him and do what's right even when we cannot hear a thing. Scripture reveals a great blessing for those that trust in the Lord.
Many want to know how to get their prayers answered. Perhaps you have struggled with that. You pray and pray, but it seems nothing happens. When you do not receive an answer, you become frustrated and disheartened. Then the enemy torments your mind with all sorts of vain imaginations. I have good news for you; God does answer prayer. You just need to learn some more about Him.
Prayer is an intimate experience of fellowship with your Creator. It involves the act of entering the presence of God. There is a prayer that gets rewarded. In my youth, seasoned intercessors taught that God was not here nor there, but everywhere at once. In other words, God was omnipresent.
Healing prayer starts with knowing the will of God. He said, "I am the God that healeth thee." Christ is no respecter of persons. If he ever healed anyone (and he has), he will heal you too. Jesus knows what you need. He said, "If thou can believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23).
Prayer for protection, guidance, and self-deliverance is available to you. The Lord is your protector, provider, deliverer, savior, and healer. He says, "Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3). He is a very present help in times of trouble.
You want to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit so bad, but sometimes it feels like he is nowhere to be found. I know the feeling. You are faithful, attend church, worship, tithe, and still nothing. It is like God's on vacation. "What's going on?" you ask. "What can I do to hear God more clearly?"
