Praying the Word of God

Praying the Apostle Paul's prayer and getting results. We will also look at the prayers of many others who prayed and receive results.

‘And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.’—MARK xi. 25.

WHAT WILL PRAYER ACCOMPLISH?

1. Prayer opens floos gates of the soul to God; lifts the soul up to God. God  floods with light the soul of those who open their hearts to him in earnest, pleading prayer. His blessing is never withheld from the soul that seeks it with the whole heart.

2. Prayer increases faith and brings spiritual blessing. It is through prayer that we become acquainted with God, and a more intimate knowledge of God must of necessity increase our faith, and increased faith means an increasingly satisfying religious experience.

3. Prayer enlists us for God’s will. It puts us in an attitude of receptivity where we become more willing to do God’s bidding. It increases our desire to know and to do his will, and thus enlists us in his service.

4. Prayer gives us fortitude and patience. It gives us the courage and patience to face and conquer the problems, and diffculties of life with fortitude. It not only gives us the spiritual strength to do so, but often the necessary physical strength is bestowed. We are comforted and sustained by the assurance that “underneath are the everlasting arms.”

5. Prayer enables us to help others. Through prayer it is possible to infuence and help others as we might not in any other way. It is the high power wireless by which our longing to do them good is conveyed to them through God.

Prayer will change you.
