WHAT IF?

What if God's people prayed? What if we would seek his face and turn from our own ways? What healing and revival would take place! What prosperity and blessing!

2 Chron 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Wow! Promises in the word of God like this are so encouraging to me! There is one thing I know for sure I can do today— Pray! A great quote from the book, The Kneeling Christian, says this, "“The secret of all failure is the failure to pray in secret”  Apostle Paul often asked for those he was writing to, to pray for him. He knew prayer is what would change things and he needed their firepower! 

And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Eph 6:19 (NLT) 

This whole thing of prayer is so essential that the prophet Samuel considered it a sin if he would fail to pray for the children of Israel. 

1Sam 12:23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.

Can God call upon you to be a part of the Prayer Firepower Team today? May we humble ourselves and pray and seek his face and turn from our own self righteous ways! The best thing we can do is leave the life of trusting ourselves and our own efforts and move into the life of trusting God… This means prayer! What would happen if we would really pray? Just Imagine…
