WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PRAY (PART 2)
Exodus 2:23-25
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
We have established that something always happens when we pray, no matter how short the prayer may be
Rev.8:3-4
Prayer is a necessity. You can't neglect prayer and still secure your destiny on earth.
Any time Satan wants to steal anything precious from your life, he first attacks your prayer life to weaken it, and when your prayer life is weak, your faith will be affected, and then carnality will be the order of the day.
When you see a Christian romancing sin without remorse, check his or her prayer life. Prayer is the lifeline of a successful Christian life. Sin will either keep you from prayers, or prayer keeps you from sinning.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PRAY
1. You enjoy favour and divine intervention: Consistent prayers are believed to bring a strange dimension of favour and break evil spells. 1Chron. 4:9-10
2. Power and Authority: Prayerful people are powerful people. They don't beg but command things to happen. Prayer puts you in command of affairs of life because prayer is a tool to dain nower and to effectively.
PURPOSE OF PRAYER.
1. Functional relationship with God:
Matt. 6:9 Our father (there is a relationship ) who is in heaven.....Prayer is not just for crisis and receiving blessings from God, but for maintaining an active, functional relationship between man and God.
Prayer brings intimacy. You are likely to understand the ways and voice of the prison where you spend more of your time. If you don't know how God speaks to you, it's because you are not staying enough in His presence. He says to give direction, but to those who stay with him. Alone with God is the secret of winners.
2. Alignment with God's will:
Prayerful people don't struggle with God's will for their lives. They are broken vessels, which makes it easy for them to align with His will. Submission is easy when you constantly practice His presence through prayer.
3. Overcoming limitations:
Prayer provides a way to overcome life challenges and difficulties caused by increased satanic activities.
Enemies are not resting, but they can be subdued by increased prayers.
Have a wonderful week full of His blessings in Jesus' name, amen.
