You Will Pray Like Never Before After Watching This Video

[Music] foreign he prayed often he went to quiet places isolated places so that he could pray as people who believe in the gospel we need to learn from this because there must be some importance to prayer if Jesus did it there must be some Effectiveness to prayer if Jesus did it now I believe prayer is a Pillar of Strength because when you are going through hard times the Bible especially tells us to pray James chapter 5 verse 13 says is anyone among you in trouble let them pray is anyone unhappy let them sing songs of praise did you get that is anyone among you in trouble let them pray other translations say if anyone is suffering if anyone is in great hardship and distress let them pray why why prayer why not find a pastor and get them to pray for you why not send a prayer request online because prayer is when you as an individual go before God and humble yourself you lower yourself in recognition of God's power you go to the foot of God's throne and pray that he may have mercy on you that he may give you Grace and it's here it's in your weakness that God's strength is made perfect a prayerless Christian is powerless show me a Christian who prays and I'll show you a Christian who's strong in this life we cannot get away from prayer and a few points that you should be mindful of when it comes to prayer are through prayer The Impossible becomes possible prayer is an optional for us as Believers it's a necessity we need to pray we need to commune with God we need to seek the Lord through fervent and honest prayer prayer is you not only obeying God's word which tells us to pray always and to pray without ceasing but it's us going into alignment with the Life of Christ when he was walking on this Earth there is power in prayer so to the believer who finds themself in a difficult situation pray to the believer who finds themselves in the middle of an attack from the devil start praying to the believer who finds themselves feeling disappointed and frustrated pray God will come through in your darkest hour so let this verse be etched in your heart James chapter 5 verse 13 is anyone among you in trouble let them pray [Music] the thing about prayer is that it doesn't have to be formal or scripted you don't need to be the most eloquent speaker or articulate person in the world prayer doesn't have to be in front of an audience or the entire church it's simply about daily engagement and communication with God and as a Believer grows in their relationship with the Lord Prayer becomes more than just a quiet time of communion it becomes an intimate connection to the one who supplies your every need it becomes a sacred time to speak to the one who provides wisdom and guidance the one who moves mountains and brings comfort in times of need even though God knows our every need before we make it known he has still commanded us to pray to pray without ceasing in fact he wants us to have that open communication with him and to rely on him no matter our circumstances in the New Testament there is a key message that comes up over and over again and do you know what this message concerns it's about prayer in Romans 12 we're told to be constant in prayer in first Thessalonians 5 we're told to pray without ceasing in Ephesians 6 we're told to pray at all times in the book of Colossians chapter 4 We're told to continue steadfastly in prayer in James chapter 5 the Bible says the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working now these are just a few scriptures I haven't even touched on all Jesus's teachings about prayer that are given in the four Gospels and so people of god let's fight to pray when life is good remember to pray when life is challenging remember to pray Come Rain or sunshine just pray regardless of the Season you're in you have to fight to pray and you're actually strengthened by those prayers one of the reasons why we have to be so strong in prayer is because as children of God we have enemies we have the devil and his demons to contend with and then we have the world and the flesh as enemies but I want you to understand that all of these enemies that we face as believers they have one thing in common they cannot win against the power of God they cannot overcome the blood of Jesus the enemies we face they cannot destroy a person who fears God they cannot overwhelm someone who's always found to be in the posture of Prayer now Psalm 34 verse 7 reads the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and he delivers them Saints God is with us but we must not be blinded to the dangers of prayerlessness prayerlessness opens the door to the enemy prayerlessness results in a person becoming spiritually dull and desensitized to the things of God now we all know that praying is not easy praying should not be casual it is spiritual warfare that's why the Bible says for the weapons of our Warfare are not carnal But Mighty through God for pulling down strongholds prayer is a weapon that we can all use as children of God and so I encourage you dear friends do not neglect this weapon of Prayer if God is with us who can stand against us who can stand against Jesus no one no man no demon no devil so fear God and pray daily pray without ceasing be constant in prayer God acts in response to prayer so in conclusion I want to remind you to persevere in prayer keep pushing in prayer the battles we face as children of God are one and lost by prayer or a lack of it we need to rely on prayer and not on anything else the spiritual war against the devil is an ongoing one for us as children of the Lord so we need to remain under the blood of Jesus and in prayer if we are to overcome [Music] [Music] thank you [Music]
