SUPER PROTECTION
Have you ever found yourself in a state of worry when all of a sudden the thoughts came to you… “Why am I not praying?” There is no doubt that praying is a far better solution than worry! Spending time in prayer is what releases supernatural power to help you in your time of need. It has been rightly penned, “The secret to all failure is the failure to pray in secret.” Worrying is counterproductive but praying releases power! When the haunting voices of impending doom are screaming at you, it is so tempting to worry and have anxiety, but it will be prayer that will escort you into your breakthrough during those tumultuous life situations!
Ps 32:6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.
James 5:13-18 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
If you are in a difficult situation right now, you can be confident that it will be prayer that will bring you the super protection and breakthrough provision that you need! I have always found it interesting that we have no record of Jesus teaching his disciples to preach; we do however have multiple instances of him teaching his disciples to pray!
God is calling you to a higher life today! Maybe all God is wanting to teach you in your current situation is to pray. Maybe it's time to let prayer be your steering wheel instead of your spare tire! I believe if you do, you will find like, Moses, that you need only to be still to see the salvation of God! (Exodus 14:13) Just as God, through the prophet Jahaziel, spoke to the people of Judah, so God is speaking to you – take a look…
2 Chron 20:15 He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
If you are in a difficult situation, consider it your opportunity to see the glory of God revealed! God is looking for someone who will believe him enough to press in and receive the victory through prayer! As I am writing this today, I am praying for you; and my declaration over you today is that the Spirit of faith and the grace to pray will be upon you. May you be protected by God's mighty power. May you, through prayer, live in God’s…
