The Power of Prayer
Some years ago I met a lady who told me “God has never answered any of my prayers.” I felt very sad for her because I knew over the years God has answered hundreds of my prayers, and not just prayers for myself but for others.
In my book – Evidence for God: Prophecies, Miracles and the Power of God, I have given lots of examples of how God answers prayers.
In the Bible, Jesus told His disciples.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.John 14:13-14
But, if you pray, asking God to give you a Rolex watch, a Rolls Royce car, of a multi-million-pound win on the Lottery, your are likely to be disappointed.
When I was a young man and an atheist, I was in the Royal Navy and I smoked cigarettes. Most of my friends smoked back then, but I know I was addicted to smoking and however I tried, I just couldn’t give them up. So one day I prayed to God, and my prayer was – God, if you help me give up smoking I will go to church on Sunday! But Sunday came and I was still smoking. Fortunately, a couple of years later I managed to give up the habit.
Twenty years later, after I had become a Christian and experienced the supernatural presence of God and angels in church on Pentecost Sunday. God began answering my prayers through my dreams, by sending other Christians to me with a message from God, through His angels, and by speaking directly to me. This is in addition to God speaking to me through reading the Bible, the hymns, songs, Bible readings, and listening to sermons in church.
This led me into the healing ministry, where as part of a team we would pray for people to be healed and witnessed many healings over the years. I have given lots of examples in my book of the power of prayer and how you can pray for miracles of healing for yourself and for others.
A young lady was reading a spiritual book and listening to her playlist of music at the same time. She said a prayer to God – God, if you are real, give me a sign.
The very next piece of music that came on her playlist was not one she knew or that she had added to her playlist. But the music began to play, “My God has a Telephone” a record by Aaron Frazer. Well, that definitely was a sign for her that God is real, and in my book I have given many examples of how God can speak to us, even through the most unusual ways.
If we want God to answer our prayers and see the power and presence of God at work in our lives, then we first need to become disciples of Jesus Christ. It is not enough just to go to church every week, listen to a sermon, sing a few songs, have a coffee and a chat with others and go home. We need to become disciples, soldiers and servants of Christ, just like Jesus's disciples 2,000 years ago.
When we begin to live our lives the way God wants us to live, and to serve God as He wants us to serve Him. When we open the two-way communication with God through our prayers and then listening to God. When we concern ourselves with the kingdom of God on Earth as it is in heaven. Then we will experience the power of prayer, of lives being changed for the better, forever, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Those Christians who are active in the battle, of sharing the good news of the Gospel of Christ. We get to witness and experience more miracles, more healings, more people’s lives being transformed by God.
When I was an atheist I had no idea it was possible to know if God existed. Then when I first became a Christian I had no idea it was possible to experience such, love, joy, peace and the power and presence of God in my life.
I would encourage you to read my book – Evidence for God: Prophecies, Miracles and the Power of God. Where you will discover the 100 prophecies of God that prove God exists, and proves that since the beginning of creation the history of humankind has been unfolding according to the predetermined plan and purpose of God.
You will also discover how to make that connection with God, learn how to hear for God when He speaks to you directly, through His angels, or through your dreams and visions. You will learn how to pray for miracles of healing for yourself and for others. You will discover God who loves and cares about you, and you will joyfully fall in love with God through Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit of God.
What is your eternal destiny? Is it to retire early and watch daytime TV? Or go on endless holidays, eat, drink alcohol or take drugs, just passing your time until you drop down dead – and then face the second death in hell?
Or would you prefer to do something more useful with your time? Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and become an active disciple of Christ. Fulfilling the good works that God has prepared for you, and witnessing and experiencing daily life in the power and presence of God. Knowing for sure that your last breath on Earth will immediately be followed by your first breath in God’s kingdom of heaven.
Take a read of my book, and let me tempt you to experience the joy and excitement of being a disciple of Christ, living life in the power and presence of God
