Prayer And The Power of Prayer.

Mark 11: 23-24 states, whosoever shall say to the mountain be thou remove and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which you say; you shall received. Therefore I say, whatsoever you desire, when you pray, believe that you have them and you will receive them. Words from the mouth of Jesus to the pen of Mark.

What is prayer? Prayer is the means that was ordained by God, for us, his separated people, to communicate with him. Before the fall of man, there was no need for prayer. For Jehovah God came and commune with man twice a day. Man had the privilege of communicating with his creator face to face. After man betrayed his creator’s trust and sinned; the Creator God, in his mercies, wisdom and love choose to preserve man, by withholding his presence from him; rather, than to have the disobedient pair be destroyed by the glory of his presence.

Although man had betrayed and rejected Jehovah, God did not rejected us, he loved us so much that even though we were not worth to speak to our creator, God in his mercies, institute the sacred means where by man can come to him to say thanks, to give praise, to submit our petition, and to asked for help for and from the many problem and troubles we will encounter.

Many people go on their knees and prayer to Jesus not believing that he is able to do all things, at times we pray not believing that God is waiting to satisfy all of our needs, our concerns and our care. When we pray, we must believe that Jehovah is all powerful and that he is able to do abundantly above all that we can ever hope or pray for. We must believe that he has the unhindered ability or power to answer our prayers, to take care of every request, to meet every need, heal every ailment, to cast out every devil, to protect everyone and we must believe that he is willing and able to provide the help that we need to see us through our darkest days.

We must also know, without faith, it is quite impossible to please God; but most of all, we must we know, understand and believe that Mark 11:23-24 which states, whosoever shall say to the mountain be thou remove and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which you say; you shall received. Therefore I say, whatsoever you desire, when you pray, believe that you have them and you will receive them.

These are the words of the Son of Jehovah, who declare that anything you need when you pray and you believe that you have it, it will be done In Jesus’ name. Have you ever imagine instructing a mountain to go into the see and have that mountain; a fixed, immovable object complying with your words and moving at your command or at your will. whosoever shall say to the mountain be thou remove and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which you say; you shall have whatever you say. Prayer cannot move mountain, but prayer can move the hands of God who is capable of moving mountains. For when God ordains a matter what he said; there is no devil, or demon, no principalities or power that can prevent it from coming to pass, when God Speak it is done when he command it stand fast. The Great God of this universe has decided to put himself at our disposal, he promised to work on our behalf.

Jesus is hoping that we love and trust him enough, so that his power can be made manifested in our lives. If you are sick or you have a friend, a love one who is desperately ill and want healing in the body we must rely on the promise of Jehovah as is recorded in the book of James 5: 15, which states: “the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the lord shall rise him up.

And when you are distressed over things you do not have control over remember Phil.4: 6-7, Be careful for nothing, but with everything in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be known unto Yah. For Jehovah say I have not given you a spirit of fear but a spirit of strength and power and of a sound mind. We cannot be afraid to make our request be known unto the creator God. Even though Jehovah God knows everything he requires that we make our request known onto him.

What are the burdens that are weighing you down? What are the burdens that are causing you to undergo stress? Always remember, it matters not what your burdens are, whatever are your hearts desires, it matters not what is troubling you today or whatever problem you are experiencing, just remember that King Jesus is in control.

Are your problems, the type of problems that are beyond your control, if you are experiencing problems and your problems seems to be bigger than you are; let your request be known unto Jehovah God. You have to make your request, Just tell it to King Jesus; for the messiah is able to take care of all of your requests.

We must follow the example of Jesus, who pray and asked his father for the will and the strength to do everything. Jesus asked his father for the power to do everything. He prayed and in his prayer he asked his father for the power to cast out devils; before he dealt with legion in the grave yard, Jesus prayed and asked his loving father for resurrecting power before he cause Lazarus and the little maid to be resurrected from the dead, he prayer and he asked for providing power; before he broke the barley loafs and fish before that satisfy the hunger of the multitude that number five thousand plus people; he prayed and asked his father for healing power before he healed the leapers, the lame man, the blind and all manner of sickness. Although Jesus is the son of Jehovah any time he needed supernatural intervention he pray and let father Jehovah know exactly what he wanted.

If Jehovah can deliver the three Hebrew boys out of the fiery furnace and Daniel from the lion’s den; then he can deliver us and ours children out of danger, If Jehovah can fight with David and cause him to defeat the unbeatable Goliath, then he can fight your battles and defeat the giants in your lives also, if he can deliver lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorra, then he can deliver you out of the trials that are meant to destroy you and your family; If he can feed Jeremiah when there was a famine in the land then he can take care of you in this season of recession. God is our deliverer, he is our provider, he is our healer, he is our protector but most of all, he died to save us from sin, hell and destruction.

Today, everyone of us are facing trouble, or difficulties of some kind, Jehovah in his words said he who come onto me I will in no need cast out. So I am asking you today, at this very day that we must take some time to present and make our request know to our loving father who is waiting to bless.

I will like each of us to spend some time in pray. I want you to think clearly about what is troubling you and for you to tell it to Jehovah God. As the word said make known your request to God. So take these few moments to pray; agonize with your father, let us wrestle with God in the same manner that Jacob wrestle with him until he received the desired blessing.
