Hello Church,
Just a re-cap of yesterday's service, "WHEN SOMEONE PRAYS" to encourage our day. In John, chapter 11 it tells of how Lazarus was sick and Mary and Martha (his sisters) sent word to Jesus to come heal their brother. They found a person who would go and look for Jesus. This wasn't no ordinary person - this person had to put aside their busy schedules, their activities and their pleasures. This person didn't get tired and quit half-way. This person had endurance in the hot sun, had determination and persistence to get Mary and Martha's message to Jesus.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the Unites States stated that "nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals with talent. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts." Persistence is what keeps you going in the midst of opposition and adversity. Persistence people just don't know when to quit. They keep pressing in to the things of God through prayer. Have you ever thought about this - the power of prayer does not necessarily depend on the one who makes the prayer, BUT the power most certainly depends on the ONE who hears the prayer.
Church, you and I can go to Jesus on behalf of others. Your prayers activates God's power in heaven and "God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven."
You are the SOMEONE in God's Kingdom. You have access to the Throne Room. When you speak, Jesus hears - When Jesus hears, things happen - When things happen, there's change - ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE PRAYED.
P. Tom
