Acts
16:30-34
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what
must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the
Lord, and to all that were in his house.
In
Tuesday's discussion our focus was Paul and Silas' midnight prayer meeting, but
today's focus is the power of prayer. Our scripture text makes a profound
statement regarding the power of prayer. One that proves when sincere prayers
are made, God through the Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of men and they too
come to Christ.
There
are prayers of confession, intercession, petition, forgiveness, thanksgiving,
praise and benediction as each carries power and expresses a heart-felt love
for God and His power to answer. There are also prayers of comfort as the
prayer prays for comfort for self and or another. Healing prayers are often
made for the sick as the leaders of the church come together and pray. Whatever
the reason for the prayer it carries power and the results are profound. This
commonly used phrase "prayer changes things" is true and a testament
to the power of prayer.
In
God's protective armour, prayer is called for constantly to remain in contact
with God our Father. God's Word is the believer's offensive weapon used to take
the fight to Satan.
We
conclude that prayers of the righteous carry awesome power.
