Greetings God's Beloved .
I wish to let you understand that Prayer is
the greatest common denominator among all the
great biblical characters and thousands of strong
believers throughout history. Moses practiced it.
Abraham practiced it. King David, Solomon,
Esther, Deborah, Daniel, Joseph, all the prophets —and, of course, Jesus Christ Himself—had
profound commitments to lives of prayer. The
biblical record shows the direct impact of their prayers on the circumstances and situations they
faced . The evidence affirms one thing: no matter
what you may think about prayer, somehow it
works.
Is man’s role in prayer important? God believes so. God’s
actions in the earthly realm require human participation. To
preserve humanity in the Flood, He needed Noah. To create a
nation, He needed Abraham. To lead Israel, He needed Moses.
To bring back Israel fromcaptivity, He needed Daniel. To defeat
Jericho, He needed Joshua. To preserve the Hebrews, He
needed Esther. To secure the salvation of mankind, He needed
to become a man.
Prayer is not optional, but necessary. If we don’t pray, heaven cannot intervene in earth’s affairs. We must take responsibility
for the earth and shape what happens here by our prayer lives.
“Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they
should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1, emphasis
added).
I invite you to discover your power, authority, and rights in
the earth and to position yourself to become a faith channel for
heavenly influence in earth’s affairs.Heaven depends on you,
and the earth needs you. Think of it, what is the need of prayer if it can not
induce change or impact both in our lives and in others. Prayer is meant to be one of the most exciting aspects of a life
of faith. It has the power to transform lives, change
circumstances, give peace in the midst of trial, alter the course
of nations, and win the world for Christ.
Prayer: Father, thank You for providing biblical examples
of lives dedicated to prayer. Help me to have a prayer
life that brings powerful transformations.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Thought: The power of prayer is the inheritance of the believer.
Reading: Genesis 1–3; Matthew 1
