A beautiful day that Lord hath made. Church, if you feel that you are struggling with your jobs, finances, health, family or any other problem, then this is the right time to practice faith.
Everyone in this world like or try to pray.
2 Chronicles 7:14
Many of us probably have increased or decreased in our Prayer life. Pray is hearing the depth of God. It is seeking the face of God and hearing the voice of God.
Prayers shouldn't be a parrot's prayer. God says prayers should be desperate prayers. When children of God cry unto Him, He will always respond. Our prayers will be answered, but the question is, are we really desperate for praying?
Bartholomew never cared about people. He prayed! Are we praying like Bartholomew? If we study the book of acts, we will realise that there are over 30 instances of prayers. In the book of acts, we will also notice one of the first persecution.
Acts 4:24, "And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them."
Even this verse suggests, it was not one person, but a group of people.
Acts 12:5, "So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the Church."
2 Corinthians 1:11, "You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessings granted us through the prayers of many."
Ephesians 6:18, "Praying all the times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints."
For an instance, Peter walked on water, later started drowning. Even though he fell, he walked. Our desperate prayers will be answered says the Lord. God is not looking for big prayer or prayers with complicated words or well structured prayers, but, He needs honest and desperate prayers. Even if the words are few, prayers must be desperate.
When Revival comes, moral climate will change. Revival will come and there will be rejoicing. God is not concerned about filling up the empty churches, but he is concerned about filling of hearts.
Numbers 11 talks about Moses praying desperately, so does Genesis in several chapters.
On China, there were over 6000 believers, but now there are as mug as 700000 believers. This is what happens when people pray desperately.
