"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you Matthew 7:7

People tend to run left and right when they have a need immediate attention. Some believe if a certain person prays for them then their need will be met. Others believe if someone lays hands on them their problems will disappear. It is a concept that is really hard for me to understand. We can pray for each other. I believe in the power of prayer of agreement, but Christians must understand that the power of prayer is not the result of the person praying, it is rather the power inhabits the God who is being addressed. According to the above scripture, we should have the confidence in approaching God that whatever we ask in Jesus name that is in agreement with His will we shall get it. The problem is that most people don’t know what the will of God is because they don’t read His word. The word of God is the will of God, and it is found in scripture (the Bible). God reveals Himself and all of the plans He has for you: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope”. Jeremiah 29:11
One of the biggest complaints I have heard is that people are praying and yet experiencing little to no victory. Some people pray as a routine but have no real expectations of breakthrough. When you pray you need to know that you receive and you have to acknowledge the fact that you are addressing the Almighty, “No Limits” God. He is able to supply for all of your needs. When you pray expect the results and start praising God in advance. In our devotions series back in April of last year, we were urged to end all prayers with thanksgiving because when we pray, we should expect, BELIEVE/KNOW/BE CERTAIN that we already received. The manifestation of it may not yet be visible, but you and I must be unshaken in our knowledge that the loving Father who didn’t spare His son, is able and willing to change our situations. Amen.
Friend, are all your needs met today? What are you doing about it? “Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:16. This is an invitation to approach the throne of God with confidence. So when you have a need (spiritual, physical, emotional), approach the throne of God in confidence. Use scripture as your back up. God cannot go against His own Word. Whatever you are facing today, bring it to the Lord in prayer. You already know the outcome: He’s going to hear you, and He is able to meet your needs.
Praise the Lord!
