The Power of Prayer

How often do you pray?  I use to think once in the morning and once in the evening as well as before meals was sufficient.  But that does not light a candle to what we should do.

The whole day needs to be a constant conversation with God and with that being said Hezekiah, a king in Judah, fell ill and a prophet came to him and told him to wrap up his life; that this was the end for him.

Isaiah 38

 ¹In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

 ²Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,

 ³And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 

 ⁴Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 

 ⁵Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

Hezekiah did what any wise person would do; he prayed and prayed hard.  He put his credentials on the table before the Lord and before the prophet could get off the king's grounds, the Lord had him return to Hezekiah.  The news was his prayer was heard and answered.

God added 15 years to the life of Hezekiah.  This is the power of prayer.  It works with anything and not just with your life on the line.  It works with your job, career, business, marriage, children, and your health.

Visit with God constantly it is part of the development of you.  Take care

In Jesus name

The Thirst for More Faith

Do you need more faith?  I can admit that I do and this is what caused me to write on this topic, the thirst for more faith.  The need for water and faith in Exodus chapter 15, the children of Israel were just delivered out of Egypt and were celebrating and singing.  But after three days they were still in the wilderness with their water levels probably dwindling down and they began to mumble against Moses.  Murmuring against Moses is consequently murmuring against God.

Despite the great works the Lord God had shown Israel, they had the nerve to cry out in a doubtful manner to the SAME GOD who just delivered them out of bondage.


 ²⁴And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 

 ²⁵And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 

 ²⁶And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 

This is where the children of Israel and anybody who emulates their mannerism will go downhill from and it began with their need for water and their need for faith.  The people mumbled against Moses asking him after three days in the wilderness for some water to drink.  The Lord answered their cry and once again proved to them that He is the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob but this seems to not be enough for them.  


Are you doing the same thing in your life, crying to God doubting His greatness and His ability to provide for you and yours?  The need for water and faith was prevalent among Israel but they cried to the Lord for water and did not cry as hard for faith.  If they had more faith or belief in the Lord God Jehovah, they would not have taken the isolated plight they took throughout the generations.

If you are thirsty, cry to the Lord to increase your faith.  Once your faith is increased you will be doubtless that the Lord can and will supply all your needs in abundance; and the desires of your heart as well.
