When taking a tour through the  history of great revivals, one must recognize the power of prayer. The great warriors of the faith who saw cities changed and nations infected with the presence of God were men and women who lived in real intimacy with God through prayer! Many of these great people would spend hours a day and sometimes days and weeks in the presence of God. One of those great heroes of the faith is Apostle Paul, listen to what he wrote...

Romans 1:9-10 God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you. 

Or Jesus …

Luke 5:16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.   If

Hebrews 5:7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

This thought has often come to my mind: If Jesus, as the son of God – God in the flesh – needed to pray, how much more do I need that intimate time with my Heavenly Father. Do you desire great things to happen in and through your life? Do you realize that great moves of God and a great impact on people will require real intimacy with God? You’ve heard it said, "Much prayer, much power; more prayer, more power; no prayer, no power!" 

Rest assured, I am not talking about a religious work! I am talking about sweet and profound intimacy with God that the prayer of faith taps into! I’m praying for you today! I am praying that you would experience the beauty of what Jesus experienced when he went to spend time with his Father! Also, like Apostle Paul, may you…

CONSTANTLY REMEMBER!
