#51 RISE UP, SPIRIT OF THE LORD
When the Spirit of the Lord rises up from deep within, you know it! I prayed for someone and when one particular topic was touched, it was like a match was ignited and energy shot forth with each word. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much, and two of us were in agreement in the Name of Jesus. That is when praying is fun. You know things are getting accomplished and your words are backed up by a God who cares and does not falter. We reminded Him of His promises that His Word will not return void. That pleases Him, and us too!
I do not want to spend time praying if it is just to appease someone. Faith must be the force behind the prayers and when the words are supported with the Word of God the fire is more than lit. It has an impact of shooting a torpedo forth on behalf of those who are on the receiving end. Darkness is lifted off of them and they are lifted up out of evil, away from the hands of the enemy. Snatching souls out of hell is joyous, and God always has ways of confirming the change of heart. He is faithful.
When you have been delivered from much, and know it, have experienced the joy of being free in Christ, you are pleasured to pray for the fallen. Knowing there is hope for them as long as they are still breathing, means keep praying....never give up on them. God did not give up on me....or you, for that matter. Seeing lives change because Jesus now is real to the person you prayed for is thrilling.
Jesus becomes their savior, trusted friend, is a voice they want to know and listen to. Jesus is not hanging on a cross, or laying in a tomb, he is alive and well. He sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. When a soul is saved and set free....has entered into a personal relationship with Jesus....money can not buy such liberty. Don't ever give up on your loved ones especially. Pray believing because God is listening and values your prayers. Like the old song says...It is no secret what God can do.
Acts 16:31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy household." (Immediate family....I claimed it for my Daddy years ago and had the privilege of leading him to a fresh commitment to the Lord, with tears streaming down his cheeks. God honored His promise in Acts 16:31, and little did I know that 15 1/2 hours later..... my Daddy... would be in Heaven. "Mission Accomplished!" Glory to God.
