God lives and works today.
His heart is a fatherly heart, which is
filled with love for His children, and His
arm is a mighty arm that can be
moved through His children's prayers.
Listen to the following meditation by Basilia Schlint
called, Allowed to Pray, My Greatest Happiness.
A believer once said, Prayer is the greatest
happiness of my life.
And indeed it really is the greatest happiness
and a great gift from God.
It is a privilege to be allowed to
pray.
How amazing that the Father in heaven would
make such an offer to us sinners.
Ask and it shall be given you.
If a millionaire made us such an offer
we'd probably think, Now we'll never be in
want again.
What influence and power this man has.
But now God is telling us, Ask, and
I who have everything and can do everything
will give it to you.
What an opportunity.
Our God is Lord of heaven and earth.
He is omnipotent.
Therefore it does make a difference whether we
pray or not.
The prayer of those whom God wills seal
will bring the might of God to bear.
Over 35 years ago, I had a traveling
lecture ministry.
I remember that during all the six years
that I had this work, I only came
across two towns where revival had broken out.
When I asked, Why is there such life
here?
In both places I received the same answer.
Here people have prayed together for revival every
day for years.
Is your city or congregation lacking spiritual life?
Are few drug addicts being saved and set
free in your city?
It may be your fault.
For through prayer you too have the power
to move God's arm.
Our Lord Jesus is standing before us in
spirit saying, Come.
It is my joy when you ask me
to redeem you and others.
I want to make you free.
Come.
Ask and receive so that you may be
happy.
I can't tell you how glad this knowledge
has made me.
When I have problems and don't know how
to cope with them, I can tell my
Father in heaven.
My Father, this is so hard for me.
It's depressing me and I don't see any
way out.
Nevertheless, Father, I trust you.
I know that you always have a way
out.
I thank you that I can know right
now that the help and solution will come.
For you have promised us in Psalm 124,
8.
Our help is in the name of the
Lord who made heaven and earth.
Amen.
God's promises come true.
Whatever He says, He'll do.
My heart no doubt can hold about what
He has taught.
I know your word is sure.
It is a rock secure.
What you say comes about.
Of that there is no doubt.
