There are numerous scriptures throughout the Bible that encourage us to pray and highlight the true power that is in prayer. Here are just two. From these two verses and so many others, you can see that one of the powers in prayer is when God’s people ask for his help in their current situation.
There is an old expression that says, “God helps those who help themselves.” Many people think this is in the Bible, but it is not. Not only is this not in the Bible, but this is also not really true. If you hold onto this type of thinking you will nullify prayer’s power. When you think about what the real power of prayer is, it is not coming from ...
If there is a key to experiencing power in prayer, it is making sure you pray from a place of reality. What I mean by this is that you don’t hide the truth of your situation and how you feel about it. One reason we never have real times of breakthrough in prayer is because we often approach God like the Pharisee, either falsely believing we have it...
I mentioned earlier that statement about God helping those who help themselves. The truth is the opposite. God helps those who realize they can’t help themselves – those who cry out to him for his help. When you invite heaven’s resources into your situation, that means you are acknowledging that what you have is not enough. If you are repenting of ...
As great as the spiritual benefits are from prayer, there have been studies that show there are physical ones as well. Admittedly this is not my area of expertise, but here is information from a 2009 study: “A 2009 study by Koenig and colleagues found that six weekly in-person Christian prayer sessions with patients at a primary care office lowered...
As powerful as prayer is, there is one thing that prayer, faith, or anything else can’t do. Prayer cannot supersede or override the will of God. You can pray as much as you want, for as long as you want, and with as much faith as you can muster, but it will not change what God has willed to do. For this reason, one of the most powerful weapons in p...
I wish there was some secret to becoming a prayer warrior that I could share with you, but honestly there is none. The truth is the only way to grow in prayer is by praying. You can study the prayers of Jesus and all the prayers in the Bible, which is a good thing to do. However, as much as you do that, you won’t grow in prayer until you do it. So ...
Oct 12, 2024 · Matthew 7:7. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”. This verse emphasizes the power of prayer and the assurance that God will respond to our earnest requests. It encourages believers to persist in seeking God’s guidance and provision.
Jun 29, 2023 · The answer is found in one pivotal scripture. In Matthew 18:18-20, Jesus tells us about the power of prayer when he said, “Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be ...
Jan 15, 2024 · Luke 11:1-4, NIV One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”. He said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread.

Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The idea that power is inherent in prayer is a very popular one. According to the Bible, the power of prayer is, quite simply, the power of God, who hears and answers prayer. Consider the following: 1) The Lord God Almighty can do all things; there is nothing impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). 2) The Lord God Almighty invites His people to ...
