What Prayer Can Do: Prayer Can Make a Difference
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:10:32 AM »
Does prayer have any real impact on our world? Or is it merely a private conversation with God?

When a New Jersey couple learned that a man had been released from prison and had moved into their area, they started praying for him. Then they paid him a visit and opened their home to a weekly breakfast for ex-offenders like him. Now, 22 years later, the area’s most despised men have one place to go where they are welcomed and treated respectfully.

What would happen if we followed literally Jesus’ command to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us? What if we became known for approaching heaven on behalf of outcasts and disagreeable people?

In a scene recorded in the book of Revelation, the apostle John foresees a direct linkage between the visible and invisible worlds. At a climactic moment in history, heaven is quiet. Seven angels stand with seven trumpets, waiting. Silence reigns, as if all heaven is listening on tiptoe. Then an angel collects the prayers of God’s people on earth—all the accumulated prayers of praise, lament, abandonment, despair, petition—mixes them with incense, and presents them before the throne of God (8:1-4). The silence finally breaks when the fragrant prayers are hurled down to earth: setting off a storm of “thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake” (v.5).

The message is clear. The prayers are essential agents in the final victory over evil, suffering, and death.  — Philip Yancey, Our Daily Bread

The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God. —Revelation 8:4

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Prayer is talking to God. It is the most wonderful, beautiful time of the day since you are talking to the one who loves you the most. How amazing life is!

Here's the 3 T's in prayer:
1.The Adventure. The whole goal is to transform us into Christlikeness.

2.The Need. In this world that full of uncertaintes, no one can satisfy our need except God.

3.The Command. Ask(pray personally), seek(particularly), knock(persistently)

         --4  Attitude of the heart when praying--
1. Desire
2.Delight
3.Dependence
4.Desperation

Prayer is communicating with GOD.

Psalm 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
