Good Morning,
This the morning after elections in the USA. The Lord who made the heavens and the earth is upon the Throne. He is Sovereign. He rules and over rules. Our help is in the name of the Lord. Somebody once said that the God's telephone number is Jeremiah 33:3 (King James Version): "Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
Almighty God has promised to hear and answer prayer! Great things happen when we pray! We used to be a praying people! It’s past time for some "Prayer Warriors" to be about the Lord’s business! The Message Bible (MSG), records Jeremiah 33:3in this way: "’Call to Me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’"
Moses cried out to Almighty God and God spared Israel from judgment! Joshua’s prayer made the sun stand still! Hannah’s prayer was answered with a baby boy! Solomon received wisdom in answer to his prayer! Fire came down from Heaven when Elijah prayed, and it devoured the sacrifice on Mount Carmel! Jonah’s prayer brought him out of the belly of the great fish! Peter prayed and Dorcas arose from the dead! The thief on the cross prayed and was saved immediately! The early church prayed and the place was shaken where they gathered together! Peter got out of jail in answer to the early Christians’ prayers! The door of the Philippian jail fell off when Paul and Silas prayed! It is amazing to read of the accounts of the prayers of the saints of Almighty God in the Holy Bible, the written Word of Almighty God!
Church history books will also stir your soul, as one reads how God answered the prayers of people such as the late great Prussian-born British Christian evangelist, George Fredrick Muller (1805 - 1898), of Bristol, England; and, the late great American missionary to the Native Americans, George Brainerd (1718 - 1747), of New England!
The late great British Protestant Christian missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission, James Hudson Taylor (1832 - 1905); and, the late great American Presbyterian minister, evangelist, revivalist, and author, Charles Grandison Finney (1792 - 1875) believed the Holy Bible and received the Power of Almighty God through answered prayers! They called upon Almighty God and He answered them; and, showed them great and mighty things which they knew not!
Matthew 7:7 (NLT) records Jesus, our Lord Himself, saying, "Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened." In Matthew 21:22 (NLT), Jesus, tells His Disciples and us: "...I assure you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ’May God lift you up and throw you into the sea,’ and it will happen."
In James 4:2 (NLT), we are told, "You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous for what others have, and you can’t possess it, so you fight and quarrel to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it." In James 5:16 (NLT), we are told: "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results."
In Jesus our Saviour,
Brown
