Prayer Changes Things

Monday of this week, my dad who has several physical challenges, was nauseated and could not keep anything on his stomach the enire day.  Before he retired for the night my mom and I prayed over him and asked God to heal him of this physical attack that had the characteristics of  a virus.
I decided to spend the night at my parents home to be a support and relieve my mother.  During the night, I kept a watchful eye on my dad.  Once again, God proved himself faithful to his word.  Not only did my father sleep without incident, the next day he was able to eat and keep everything down.  What a mighty God we serve! Casting our cares on God results in peace and allows us to experience a positive outcome.  No matter what we are going through or the circumstances we face, God is  faithful to do that which he promised because he is a God that cannot lie.  He will take care of  those things that concern us.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS

God says that, "the fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much."  Tonight I prayed with my Life giver prayer group.  It was awesome! Lifegivers is a serious group of women who pray together weekly and are committed to praying until something happens!  "Pray without ceasing." (I Thessalonians 5:17)  At the beginning of the prayer session we had a short but impactive scripture lesson that included the following questions:

(1)  Who are your spiritual children? (As christians we are called to make disciples after the
                                                              character of  Christ)
(2)  Who can I influence?
(3)  Who am I called to lead?
(4)   Is my character worth multiplying? (Ouch!)

I believe the Spirit of the living God is calling the body of Christ to fervent prayer in this eleventh hour.  Together and with the help and direction of the Lord we are battle ready and army strong!
So let's kick butt in the Spirit! 
 So, I send a shout out to all my brothers and sisters in Christ to put on the whole armor of God to prevent war casulties and surprise attacks that render you ineffective.
