REACH WITH PRAYER

in #sc-v5 years ago

Acts 16: 25-32: "At about midnight, Paul and Silas began to pray and sing hymns to God, and the other prisoners listened to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake so strong that the prison shuddered to its foundations. Instantly all the doors were opened and the chains were released to the prisoners. The jailer woke up and, seeing the gates of the prison wide open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted: - Do not hurt yourself! We all are here! The jailer asked for light, rushed in and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. Then he took them out and asked them: "Gentlemen, what do I have to do to be saved? Believe in the Lord Jesus; so you and your family will be saved, "they replied. Then they exposed the word of God to him and to all the others who were in his house. "

The way you react to circumstances evidences how you are looking at them, whether spiritually or naturally. The worst thing that can happen to you in difficult times is to lose perspective of the spiritual reality that is happening to you. The enemy is expert in making you lose your spiritual effectiveness, so that you begin to look at things in the natural way, and there are people who do not pray because they lose perspective of what is moving spiritually in the middle of their situation, which will lead them to not be effective in the midst of that circumstance.

The Bible clarifies that we should not look at natural things, because they are temporary and temporary, and advises us to look at things spiritually because they are eternal and have power over temporal ones, when you understand this, while you pray you know how to act, what steps You have to give and what is the reality of the situation that is attacking you. Before each situation you must have an action, and you can not be passive in front of that which wants to destroy you - speaking spiritually - you must provoke a response from heaven through your prayer. The answers come because there is a wise and knowledgeable people who press the spiritual world through prayer.

Imagine that Paul had given himself to this situation in prison, that is not the attitude of the children of God. When you enter a difficult situation it begins to control your thoughts and decisions, starting to manipulate you from within, and if you do not pray and respond correctly to that situation, it is likely that this circumstance will begin to dominate you.

The greatest test of a man of prayer is the prayer character that he has, that when he does not know how to act he enters the spiritual world, breaks the barrier of the natural to observe what is happening, attacking him, or where is the proof . Remember that in the spiritual world there is the answer and the way out, in the natural world there is no door, but in the spiritual realm there is always a door that can be opened. Prayer opens doors where money and connections can not. When you move the spiritual world something happens in your environment, so it is impossible for your world to stay the same. Prayer brings answers and brings an army of angels to your favor.

Constant prayer also helps us face severe trials. The Bible says: "Pray incessantly. In relation to everything, give thanks. " Our incessant prayers help us to establish a close friendship with Jehovah. Constant prayer is essential for faith. After illustrating the need to "always pray and not give up," Jesus asked: "When the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on earth?" (Luke 18: 1-8). Meaningful and heartfelt prayer strengthens faith.
