Power of prayer

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” (John 15:7)

There is power in prayer. Just when we thought prayer emmanted from us, we are reminded that the power of prayer lies with God. When we abide in Christ, and His Word abides in us, our prayers become a reflection of God’s purpose in our lives.

Charles Spurgeon preached, “A man will succeed in prayer when his faith is strong; and this is the case with those who abide in Jesus. It is faith that prevails in prayer. The real eloquence of prayer is a believing desire. “All things are possible to him that believeth.” 

A man abiding in Christ with Christ’s words abiding in him, is eminently a believer, and consequently eminently successful in prayer. He has strong faith indeed, for his faith has brought him into vital contact with Christ, and he is therefore at the source of every blessing.

Such a man, once more, will also possess the indwelling of the Spirit of God. If we abide in Christ, and his words abide in us, then the Holy Ghost has come and taken up his residence in us; and what better help in prayer can we have? Isn’t it a wonderful thing that the Holy Ghost himself maketh intercession in the saints according to the will of God? He ‘maketh intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered.’’ (Romans 8:26)

Let us not neglect the power of prayer in our lives today. We should never take it for granted. It is time for us to execute our faith through prayer.
