THE WONDERS OF PREVAILING PRAYERS
… and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel and he cast himself down upon the earth and his face between his knees.
I Kings 18: 42
Main Text:
I welcome you to the place of encounter with destiny today. Let me tell you point blank nobody can access God expressly outside prayer and The Word. The place of prayer is a place to receive power. It has been said that prayer is drawing from the heavenly power to effect changes on the earthly situation. It is a force, which turns mortal men to gods over the affairs of the earth.
Elijah was a man who had a better understanding of this concept. Having received God’s mandate for Israel, went up, cast himself on the ground and prayed. He stayed on the Mount Carmel knowing that nothing happens until he prays.
Beloved, I would like you to know that nothing worthwhile can ever happen except we are willing to apply the force of prayer. It doesn’t matter how great the promises of God you have conceived until you push, you can’t bring forth.
Listen to this “who has ever heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment yet no sooner is Zion in labour than she gives birth to her children”. In other word only those who pray receive miracles. Do you desire a miracle in your life then pray because when we pray we release God’s power into the situation.
We can only accomplish little with human ability since we have to contend with so much evil around us. There are visible and invisible forces at war against our destinies and to be on the cutting edge we must learn to pray to get our desired result. Beloved let the force of prayer become the winning instrument in your life and you will see your destiny shinning forth like the bright morning star in 2018.
Prayer: Lord I receive the spirit of grace and supplication in Jesus name.
