PRAYER?
If we can understand and use the power of prayer as Christians and especially as men of God, our lives will take on great meaning, and we will see our spiritual life soar like never before.
An outpouring of God’s Spirit is coming to the earth. But before the outpouring that many Christians have been looking for, there will be a revival that many aren’t looking for—a revival of prayer.
In Luke chapter 21, Jesus gives us a glimpse of what is to come in the end times, and He tells us why we don’t have to be afraid.
Luke 21:25–29 (NKJV)
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
In verse 28, Jesus makes a statement that is most pertinent to us as Christians. He tells us to “lift up our heads, because our redemption draws near.” What is our redemption? It is the day when Jesus comes in clouds of glory and every eye shall see Him. Then we who are alive shall be caught up together in the clouds, and so shall we ever be with the Lord (1 Thess. 4:16–18).
God has plans for you. And if you will take your place in prayer, you will produce those plans not only for yourself, but also for your friends and family. And when it’s all said and done, you will see the coming of the Lord.
- If you are ready to dedicate yourself to a life of prayer, say, “Father God, I want to become a person of prayer. I don’t want to operate in the flesh but in the realm of the Spirit. I want to fulfill Your divine destiny for my life. I ask You to deposit in me a desire to pray like never before. May I take my position seriously and be ready for the coming of the Lord. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.”
God bless you...
