PUSH Pray Until Something Happens 1 Timothy 2:1 (KJV) I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more. Prayer is certainly one of the most important spiritual weapons we have to our advantage. Reading a book of Andrew Murray I ve discovered how a simple prayer can really alter the Universe. Any circumstance can be changed threw your prayer. James 5:16 NLT 1 / 6
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results How much time do you spend on prayer, 2 seconds, 10 minutes? The more time you spent with your Lord, the more He will equipped you with His prayer weapons and knowledge. The most loving thing you can do for your friends or families is to sacrifice some of your free time and pray for them. Will you dare to be a prayer warrior, standing in the gap for people, praying to the Lord for there salvation? Definition:Prayer (as defined in Webster s 1828 Dictionary of the English Language): A solemn address to the Supreme Being, consisting of adoration, or an expression of our sense of God s glorious perfections, confession of our sins, supplication for mercy and forgiveness, intercession for blessings on others, and thanksgiving, or an expression of gratitude to God for his mercies and benefits. Lets take a look of some great examples of prayer warriors in the Bible: 2 / 6
Jehoshaphat took the Lord on His word when He and His kingdom faced a large army what was on its way to trample Jehoshaphat and His armies. He went boldly to the throne of grace and reminded the Lord of the Promised He made to His friend Abraham, that when trouble comes the Lord will be their defender. Jehoshaphat prayed out of a humble heart and submitted totally to God and His will, He gave up His plans for the Lords, usually when our plans come to a end the Lords plans can start to get into action. The Lord was pleased with Jehoshaphat prayer and supplication that he answered Him and told Him exactly what was expected from Him. Many of us pray to the Lord and after we pray the stand back and say its in the Lords Hands now. Dear reader I got bad news for you, the Lord works in conjunction with you He want you to be a part of His victory plan, He will tell you what you need to do and then He will do His part. The Lord told Him that they need to meet the enemy straight on and while they were walking they must praise the lord. Jehoshaphat and his army were obedient to the Lord and the Lord was true to His promise, they defeated the enemy by the grace of God. Sometime we pray and pray and pray, and noting happens, spend time with God, don t let the world or your work take up all your time, and then there is no time for God. Be straight with your prayers, the Lord already know you by heart,he wrote a book full of love letters for me and you, His heart desire is for you to make Him 1 st in your life, and spend time with Him in prayer and worship. We were created for Him and His pleasure, He want only the best fo 3 / 6
you and your family and all He want in return is a little attention from you. Genesis 1:27 (New International Version) 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Let s take any relationship for an example: let s say you and any loved one will communicate to each other once a month, do you think that s enough? I don t think so, you ll never know what is going on in that persons life, you wont even know if anything good or bad had happened to that person. The same with God why is it that we always want the victory but we don t want to do the who s, or what s. We need to talk with God on a daily basis, thanking Him for all He has done for us etc. There s a reason why the Lord said that every living word out of the bible is like a daily bread for us. Joh 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." 4 / 6
Joh 6:48 I am the bread of life. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. I am the bread of life-"as he that believeth in Me hath everlasting life, so I am Myself the everlasting Sustenance of that life." (Repeated from Joh 6:35). Just like you take your daily vitamins or supplements, the same way your soul needs you to take your daily BREAD. The Lord is waiting, He is waiting for you to come boldly to the throne and seek Him diligently in everything. Eph. 3:20-21 Glory be to You, God, who by Your mighty power at work in both of us is able to do far more than we could dare to ask or even dream of far beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. May You receive all the glory in our lives and in Your church forever. 5 / 6
