The Invaluable Power of Prayer


The power of prayer is a topic that should not be ignored in this end time. I am not talking about praying to other gods or idols: I am talking about saying Christian prayers to the God of Moses, Abraham, David and Jacob. All of God’s children must continually pray for strength. This can be done by simply saying, “Lord, I do not have any power of my own, lead me and give strength in all departments of my life.” You can also, continually confess or meditate on the scripture, which says; “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Christian prayers are weapons that have been transferred from heaven to earth, that is; God has given men the gift of prayer. The way to have your prayers work for you is; you must be born again, free of unforgiveness, full of faith and free of sin. In the biblical era, Jesus demonstrated the power of prayer. He prayed constantly with authority and faith, which is why His prayers commanded miracles, signs, wonders, blessings and breakthroughs. Asking God for prayer for strength simply means you are humbling yourself and thereby making it known that God is the only omnipotent supernatural being.

Power of prayer is made evident when things in the Spiritual start to manifest in the natural.  A Christian can pray powerfully by asking the Holy Spirit to teach him what and how to pray. This will ensure that you are praying the perfect will of God, and thus; receive answered requests. You may be wondering when we speak casually, most times we do not see results but when we pray ( dialogue with God), we are able to see results. What I am saying here is; for example, if you need a new car, and you tell your wife or friend that you need a new car, this is just a casual talk and you may or may not receive the new car, however: When you tell God in faith that you need a new car, He will respond favorably. What is the difference between the two scenarios above, that is; casual talk with your wife and talk with God? The answer is; God has ordained prayer as a way of communicating with Him from the beginning of time.

When we say a prayer for strength, we must have it in mind that God is the only One who can take away all our weaknesses and replace with strengths. Christian prayers are invaluable in the sense that; they are the foundation for all other things in the Spiritual and the natural.  If the foundation of a house is not firm, it may collapse, same way; if a Christian’s prayer life is not solid, there will be weakness in his or her spirit.
