Power of Prayer

Power of Prayer – Dan 9:23

    Prayer enables us to fully experience God’s love and power in the midst of trails.  Prayer gives us insight on how God hates arrogance and selfishness and it shows how when we trust and acknowledge God we have the victory.  Daniel was a man that understood that certain conditions enabled him to have successful prayer.  They are as follows.

a.  Contrition.  2 Chron 7:14, says that we must humble ourselves, seek his face, turn from our wicked ways and pray.  This will bring, God’s hearing, forgiveness and healing.

b.  Wholeheartedness.  Jer 29:13 says, when we seek God we will find Him, when we seek him with all our heart.  

c.  Faith.  Mark 11:24, Jesus stated that if we ask in prayer and believe we will have it.

d.  Righteousness.  James 5:16, says that the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

e.  Obedience.  1 Jn 3:22, reminds us that we will receive from Him anything we ask because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.
