Fervent Prayer

Fervent Prayer

"The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16b

From time to time we may feel we have lost our fervency in prayer. This is not surprising! Satan seeks to neutralize us by strategically attacking our weaknesses. We must be aware of his tactics.

Jesus is always with us. We may not feel Him, but his Word says He never leaves us or forsakes us. Are we tired of the mundane? Poor health? Financial struggles? Family problems? Lost loved ones? It is time to realize that we, as children of God and joint heirs with him have power in the throne room!

Begin your prayer with an appointed time to meet Jesus. Give Him praise for past answered prayer. Bring your requests to Him expecting Him to do what He knows is best, knowing that NOTHING is impossible! It doesn't matter what a  diagnosis is; it doesn't matter what a financial situation is; it doesn't matter if you have a problem marriage; no one is too lost in sin that He cannot save! Expect great things, trusting Him.

Prayer is exciting! Keep a journal of answered prayer. God has healed me of glaucoma, migraines, and other problems. He has met financial needs. He has intervened in others' lives when I have been a part of their miracles. Prayer is an exciting journey! Expect the unexpected!

Be aware of the enemy's tactics and fight him through prayer. Fight him with the Word. Jesus said, It is written......"
