The Power Of Prayer

Prayer: The Power Of LifeThe effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.~James 5:16b

God can impress upon your heart the need to prayFor thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. ~2 Samuel 7:27

God knows your heart and will provide you with what you needWhat prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

God knows your heart and will provide you with what you needThen hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)~ 1 Kings 8:38-39

In the midst of a crisis, pray for those who have not yet been hurtIt may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.~ 2 Kings 19:4

Its okay to beg for Gods earsNow, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.~ 2 Chronicles 6:40

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.~Psalms 55:1

If you are a leader and your flock has strayed, you should include yourself in your prayer of forgivenessLet thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.~ Nehemiah 1:6

In times of trouble, PRAYBut it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.~ Nehemiah 4:7-9

When youve lost fear of (respect for) God, you do not think to prayYea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.~ Job 15:4-5

Who needs prayer? Im perfect all by myselfThe first thing you should do when you wake up is talk to God.My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.~Psalms 5:3

Just because your bad, evil, a sinner, or whatever, God will still listen to your prayerHe will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.~Psalm 102:17

Whats the point of praying? Gods not gonna listen anyway

God knows what will happen before you do, so be careful what you Ask forIn 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. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, And said,

Save me, O God!!!God knows what will happen before you do, so be careful what you Ask forRemember 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. Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, 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. ~Isaiah 38:1-5

Save me, O God!!!BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FORGod knows what will happen before you do, so be careful what you Ask for At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

God knows what will happen before you do, so be careful what you Ask for . Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

God knows what will happen before you do, so be careful what you pray for Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.~Isaiah 39:1-6

BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITLL GET YOU.

When God has set aside a place of prayer, it SHOULD NOT be corruptedAnd Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.~Matthew 21:12-13

You must believe to receiveAnd all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.~Matthew 21:22

Long-winded prayers made for show are a damnation to yourselfWoe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.~Matthew 23:14

Persistent prayers will be heardAnd he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Persistent prayers will be heardAnd the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?~Luke 18:1-8

The people that pray together stay togetherThese all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.~Acts 1:14

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.~1 Corinthians 7:5

Pray despite lossPeter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.~Acts 12:5

If people want to pray, do not hinder themAnd on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. And when she was baptized, and her household~Acts 16:13-15a

If others pray for you, you should thank themYe also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. ~2 Corinthians 1:11

You can pray for any and everything and you should pray alwaysPraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit~Ephesians 6:18a

Pray without ceasing.~1 Thessalonians 5:17

Dont worry about things that you have no control overBe careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.~Philippians 4:6

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.~1 Peter 5:6-7

Dont Hinder Gods power by Praying too specificallyAnd Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. ~ 1 Chronicles 4:9-10

Prayer is all the more important in these last daysBut the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. ~1 Peter 4:7
