My wife, Melinda, is such an amazing woman. She woke up early this morning and texted me the below. I really needed to hear that today.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14).
Prayer is an extraordinary privilege! When we pray in the name of Jesus, we communicate with the Almighty Creator of heavens and earth, we are heard by Him and have the opportunity to have our prayers answered.
In the Bible, we are told to pray continually and that means prayer should be a lifestyle for Christians. By prayer we can fellowship with our heavenly Father and enjoy a loving relationship with Him. When we pray, we also affirm our submission to and dependence on God. Pray constantly and consistently. Pray presenting your requests and offering thanksgiving.
When ministering to someone in need of healing, pray and ask for a miracle. Jesus is still asking those in need: “What do you want me to do for you?”
Putting it into practice: When you pray for someone in need of healing, ask the person what they need and then ask God for a miracle in the name of Jesus. When you pray, do that with a heart filled with expecting faith to receive your answer.
