Jesus said, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." (John 14:13-14) What a promise! Last night, some of the Streamers met for prayer. We entered into God's presence, prayed up our praise, repentance and requests. Since then, I have been carried along by the Holy Spirit on the prayers of His people. I sensed God calling us to believe in Him for the new church and the concerns of our lives. Today, I am hearing the testimony of answered prayer and I'm a little surprised! Not sure why, Jesus promised us. Maybe it's because there is so little that is certain in our world, maybe because I feel like often I ask with wrong motives so the prayer doesn't qualify as "in His name." Why am I surprised....I don't know. What I do know is God has called Living Streams to pray and our prayer meeting last night was filled with the Holy Spirit. The prayers of God's people are a powerful weapon in the world we live in. Rev 8:3-5, "Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake." On your knees.....people of the living God, we have the earth to shake! Blessings.
