James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Prayer is the tool that God has given to each one of His children to help us in our situations; to help bring people out of trials, to help people get healed, to help people find Him. It’s through prayer that God will reach down from His throne and help us.
We can invest our time in all sorts of things; work, kids, family, church, etc., but the most important investment we can make is in time spent at the feet of Jesus Christ.
Through Salvation He has made a way for us to come and pray to the Father. There, laying down our concerns and our troubles, we can cry out for others and to get God’s answers.
It takes one person with a strong desire, to unite with God and see His change for whatever situation we find ourselves in.
Praying is up to us to do. It’s up to us to take hold of and invest our time in prayer. It’s more powerful than we could ever know. But if we don’t see it in this light, if we don’t see the importance and the power that it carries through Christ Jesus, we will just leave situations and circumstances on the table and watch them fall into the hands of the enemy.
We have a powerful tool that sits within us. What good will it do if we just leave it dormant?
Mark 1:8 (NKJV) 8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
He has given us a way to be accurate in our prayers. Understanding and knowledge lives within us, through His spirit. He gave us what it takes to go to battle, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to ask the Lord to baptize us in the Holy Spirit and to lead us in our prayers.
If you are the only man or woman in your country that prays, you can begin to turn that place around. If you are the only man or woman on your job that prays, you can turn that place around. If you are the only man or woman in your home that prays, you can turn that home around. And if you are the only man or woman in your church that prays, say it with us, I can turn that place around!
As we let the Holy Spirit guide us in our prayers, we will make a difference right where we are at today!! Invest our time each day in prayer God will turn things around.
