Confess your faults one to another, and pray
one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much is a much quoted phrase, but this question comes to mind, what cause the
righteous man prayers to yield what is prayed for? The answer can be found in the first part of
the scripture verse which states that the prayer must confess his/her own
faults as well as pray from the heart with sincerity believing that God will
answer.
There are other reasons for effective praying and some are:
(a) praying in the authority of Jesus name. (b) Our prayers must align with the
will of God as the prayer must be living in harmony with God. (c) The prayer
prays constantly as praying is a method of communicating with God and the more
the prayer communicates with God a harmonious relationship develops. (d) The
prayer pray in honesty and in faith; believing in what is being prayed for
whether it is an intercessory prayer, thanking God or petitioning God whether
for self or someone else. (e) The prayer is persistence in his/her prayers.
This incorporates Matthew 7:7-8, which is asking, seeking and knocking. In
doing those three things will be rewarding. Lastly, we as prayer warriors are
encouraged to adore God, thanks Him for His goodness, grace and mercy.
God loves to hear and talk with us; just as He answered
prayers of those in the Bible days and beyond He will do the same for us today.
Pray. Pray. Pray God hears and answers.
