A reminder for
today
So
give Your servant an understanding mind and
a hearing heart [with which] to judge Your people, so that I may discern
between good and evil. For who is able to judge and rule this great people of Yours?”. (1 Kings 3:9)
I do hope you had a great weekend and that you are well rested
for the week ahead. I want to add to our sermon yesterday, because I believe a
revolution is at hand. You see we are Christians, but we are not revolution
starters. We are reluctant to fight the battle on our knees. Maybe it is because
we are not aware of the power of prayer or maybe we lack the faith. Whatever the
reason it is time for us to become warriors and take the fight to the enemy.
If you look at people like Smith Wigglesworth you will see that
prayer was a large part of his life. Smith believed in the power of the name of
Jesus. He prayed and fasted frequently and surrounded himself with people that
he knew loved to pray. Smith Wigglesworth was an evangelist whose childlike
faith in Jesus led to the performance of many lasting miracles of great worth
and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Church during his lifetime.
Smith would pray,
and the blind would see, and the deaf were healed, people came out of
wheelchairs, and cancers were destroyed. One remarkable story is when He prayed
for a woman in a hospital. While he and a friend were praying she died. He took
her out of the bed stood her against the wall and said, "in the name of
Jesus I rebuke this death". Her whole body began to tremble. Then he said,
"in the name of Jesus walk", and she walked. Everywhere he would go
he would teach and then show the power of God. He began to receive requests
from all over the world. He taught in Europe, Asia, New Zealand and many other
areas. When the crowds became very large he began a "wholesale
healing". He would have everyone who needed healing lay hands on
themselves and then he would pray. Hundreds would be healed at one time.
We need to be like this. We need revival and revolution. We need
to stand up and say that we will take this no more and we should show the glory
of God and change this world. We must stand firm in our faith and trust the
Lord our God. It is time, my friend. This year will be known as the year we brought
God back into this world as we claim it in His name. This year will see people
change, nations change, and countries change. This year will be known as the
year we started to pray, and the Lord showed this world His power. I have already
written that our message for this year is that God is going to do something new.
I believe this, and I believe we are about to see many miracles
and amazing things when God speaks. I believe that the enemy will have a very
hard time, because I know we will have many prayer warriors in this year and we
will see the power of prayer as we unite. It is a revolution against the forces
of evil.
Lord, I pray that every Christian will have an unstoppable desire
to pray and that we will pray more often. In the name of Jesus.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
