The Power of Prayer

Scripture records “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”- Luke 5:16. This verse affirms four very important spiritual truths about prayer. First,  Luke is letting us know that Jesus had a pattern of praying often. Second, Jesus was clearly demonstrating the importance of prayer in our lives. Third, Jesus showed that in His human manifestation He absolutely needed to access the divine power of God through prayer to carry out His mission and ministry. The fourth is that prayer with faith in God, releases His supernatural power that is insurmountable by any and all forces at work in the world. As followers of Jesus Christ we cannot exist as effective witnesses, and experience the fullness of God's divine power in our lives without prayer.  Jesus' teaching on prayer and the words of apostles, prophets, and religious men and women in the bible all attest to the importance of praying to God for repentance, protection, revelation, healing, anointing and provision of all our needs. But regardless of the purpose, prayer without faith in God's supernatural power is ineffective and just a ritual.

Here are some ways to pray for the release of God’s supernatural power:

PRAY WITH PRAISE AND PURPOSE
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is I heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." Matthew 6:9-13

 

PRAY WITH FAITH IN GOD’S POWER
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them." Mark 11:22-23

 

PRAY IN JESUS’ NAME
"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:13-14

 

PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him." 
1 John 5: 14-15

 

PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING WITH THANKSGIVING
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers." Philippians 4:6

 

PRAY WITH TRUST IN GOD’S ANSWERS
"If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" Matthew 7:11
