"Call
to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3)
Kingdom
praying is the most crucial work we can do.
It
demands our time, our energy, our intentional attention, our focus,
our self-discipline. We must recommit ourselves to it every day.
Prayer is work, but prayer works. More accurately, God works in
response to the prayers of His people.
Oswald
Chambers said, "Prayer does not just fit us for the greater
work. Prayer is the greater work."
T.
W. Hunt stated, "Prayer is the shaping force of history. God
used Moses' prayers, He used Nehemiah's prayers and He used Jesus'
prayers. He used Paul's prayers as God's instruments for shaping
the personality and destiny of the new church as it spread across
the Mediterranean world."
God's
Word, as well as history and our own experiences teach us that the
most powerful work we can do is to be obedient and faithful in the
work of prayer.
When
we pray we link hands with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, a powerful
threefold linkage. What a privilege to be included on this dynamic
team.
Prayer
is the ultimate strategy for releasing God's power into our lives,
our families, our churches, and our world.
Our
Lord declared, "Call to me and I will answer you and show you
great and mighty things, which you do not know." (Jeremiah
33:3) BUT WE MUST CALL UNTO HIM.
God
said, "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance"
(Psalm 2:8) BUT WE MUST ASK.
Paul
wrote to the Ephesians that our God "is able to do immeasurably
more than all we ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20)
BUT
WE MUST ASK.
PRAYER
IS GOD'S STRATEGY
