The Honor & Power of Astonishing Prayer (8.18.14)

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness - Hebrews 3:13

May I suggest a short prayer that you and/or your family
can lift up each and every day?
“Lord, show us the people You want us to help or encourage today.
Lead us to those who are hurting or in need,
and we will trust you for the means to do something about it.”


I can promise you that our loving Father will answer,
if you will listen and obey.
He will trust you with small things first and then He will stretch you 
to be obedient in His bigger plans and purposes.

Being the answer to the prayers of others
is one way to be used by GOD. 
Being the answer to our own prayers is an astonishingly powerful privilege. 

There may be situations in the lives of people you know, 
or perhaps He will choose to use your prayer to work 
in the lives of those you may never meet. 

Prayer is a great mystery, 
but GOD has chosen to use us to be His agents of answered prayer. 
Knowing this, makes prayer such an honor. 
It encourages us to pray more and to listen better! 

We should always be ready to stand in the gap 
when the Lord places a burden or need on our hearts. 
He may not always use you in certain situations, 
but because of your prayers, He may have touched the heart of others to respond. 

A good prayer when those you are praying for are far away is,
“Lord, would you put one of Your willing servants
into the path of this person today who can be a blessing to them?” 

The family of GOD is extensive and worldwide. 
He will use every heart that is willing to listen to His voice.
