Come Out Praying
At times we wonder what we will do in a given situation, such as a certain type of attack of the enemy. Us, or someone we know or love, may become ill or injured. Maybe we have a problem with the car or the plumbing. A friend I know recently had a problem with a used car he bought, and he really lost it. After cooling down he prayed and between he and his wife working as a team, they were able to get the first part of the electric window repair accomplished. Neither of them know anything about cars. The next day he prayed and asked the Father to help him find parts on Sunday. After a few calls he found out that a local car parts place had a hub in the neighboring town. He was able to get the parts for the window and for the electric door locks. He worked on them all afternoon and although it was dark when he finished, he had both up and running before bed. And he knows nothing about cars. This may seem like a simple story, but the point is God teaches us from the simple things in life. In this case, had he prayed in the beginning he might have fixed the car quickly on Saturday and not had to change so many plans. Anger got him.
When we face these situations, emotions click in. This is not necessarily bad. Where it becomes problematic is when we do not control the response for the good. All of the same emotion channeled into something for the good would only add to the power of the good. Prayer would be the better response. Speaking words of life, not speaking the death contained in evil words. We can add power to our praying when we add our emotion to our praying.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Today, let’s control our emotion and add our prayer to it. Then we can come out praying!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us bear Your kingdom in this earth. Sne dus today Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the evil on that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Ride across the skies, my King, and destroy the works of the enemy. Add abundance to Your people, ten times greater than when Your people left Egypt, and more. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
