THE POWER OF PRAYING

"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

I believe the greatest gift you can give your family, church and country is praying for them every day.

Never doubt the power of the Word of God when you pray with. I pray that you will be faithful to pray different scriptures each week as you pray for a spiritual breakthrough for family, church and country.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12

Let me share a prayer you can pray:

I will exalt You, my God the King; I will praise Your name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. The LORD is near to me and I call on You, in truth. Hear my prayer. You will fulfill the desires of those who fear You.

I have faith in You Lord and You said, "If anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” So I am believing You, that whatever I ask for in prayer, I believe I have received it, and it will be mine. Lord, with man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.

Lord, I thank You that I am strong in the Lord, and in His mighty power. I put the full Armour of God on family, church and country so that we can take a stand against the devil's schemes. My prayer is that You will open the eyes of all those in my sphere of contact and influence that are not born again and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to You, so that they may receive forgiveness of their sins and be sanctified by faith in You. Thank You Lord, that You will break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. You will search for Your lost and bring back the strays. You will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak.

You are the Good Shepherd, You know Your sheep and Your sheep know You. I praise You, Father that You will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them. Thank You that will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Thank You Lord that they will not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of their mind. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of our hearts will be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which He has called us. You are our peace.

I pray that You may strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. Lord, I know You are able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within me.

Lord, fill us with the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Lord, I pray that You will turn all the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Lord, I hate divorce as You hate divorce. Therefore what You have joined together, let no man separate. Thank You Lord that it is Your will that we should be sanctified; that we should avoid sexual immorality; that we should learn to control our own body in a way that is holy and honorable. For You did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

Lord, breathe on our families, the church and country so that they will be vibrant always. Then the nations around us that remain will know that the Lord has rebuilt what was destroyed and has replanted what was desolate. The Lord has spoken, and You will do it. Lord, thank You that You will come to me and fulfill Your gracious promise to bring us back to Your place. For You know the plans You have for us. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. Then I will call upon You and come and pray to You, and I will listen to You. I will seek You and find You when I seek You with all my heart.

For nothing is impossible with God. I am blessed as I believe what the Lord has said to me will be accomplished! Praise the Lord. Amen.
