Effective Prayers and Pray-ers
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:15 (Complete Jewish Bible)
Powerful. Effective. In God’s Word, we certainly see many prayers that were effective in bringing great power on the scene. Effective prayers caused the sun to stand still, the dead to be raised, wars won without directly engaging the enemy in battle, chains loosed from prisoners and angels coming to escort them from secure prisons.
Yet for many in the Body of Christ today, effective and powerful would not be the words used to describe our prayers nor our prayer life. Today, more than at any other period in man’s history, we need effective and powerful prayers and pray-ers.
This study will look into His Word at scriptural principles and precepts which we can apply to our personal lives and to our prayers so that we can be conformed to Jesus’ image (Romans 8:29) and receive the results that He said we could.
Martha spoke to Jesus in John 11:22 says, “Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” SELAH
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:15 (Complete Jewish Bible)
Have you ever said or thought, “I wish that this verse described me!” Or have you compared yourself to another and thought I wish I could get the results they do? Don’t condemn yourself nor get discouraged.
In fact, don’t compare yourselves to others as Jesus is our standard. Now you are thinking that there is no way I can get results as He did. Those are not His words about you.
Jesus tells us that His disciples will get the results that He did. Learn the relationship to fellowship with the Lord and answered prayer.
Answered prayer was not man’s idea, but God’s idea for man.
If I am His ambassador here on the earth, should I be more concerned about pursuing my will or His will? More than likely, the answer to this question is also reflected during our times of prayer!
We are His ambassadors on the earth today, just as He was the Father’s ambassador on the earth 2000 years ago. We are to re-present Jesus just as he represented the Father.
Prayer should be as natural to us as it was with Jesus. Just as branches don’t struggle to grow, neither should we as we pursue the fellowship of the Father in prayer.
We are here to do His will. Here am I Lord, send me!
What was the context of Jesus’s first reference to prayer?
- Love
- Love your neighbor
- Love your enemy and pray for them!
As a son of God, my prayers should reflect the very nature of my Father, just as Jesus did in His prayer. It begins with our union, be one with Him IN LOVE.
Learn how we pray to Love, in Love, in Love’s will, and in the Name of Love. When we pray as Jesus did, then we will receive all that LOVE has purchased for us.
Love is THE FOUNDATION of a faith-filled prayer.
