Weekly Prayer Tip

God's Word for you this week "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."  John 15:7-8  Prayer for this week Lord, today I choose to remain in You, and to have Your words remain in me. In reality, that choice was made because You first chose me and brought me near. Now Lord, though, I respond in love to Your grace and draw near. Thank You for the astonishing promise of answered prayer. Help me to pray in a way that brings glory to the Father and demonstrates Your life within me.   Reading for this week Prayer is simply God's appointed means of accomplishing His work in the world.  If He chose, He could act arbitrarily without regard to prayer or lack of it.    All power originates in God and belongs to Him alone.  He ordained prayer not primarily as a means of getting things done for himself, but as part of the apprenticeship program for training the Church for her royal duties which will follow the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Unless she understands this and enters into sincere cooperation with God's plan of prayer, the power needed to overcome and bind Satan on earth will not be released.   God has the power to overcome Satan without the cooperation of His Church through prayer and faith, but if He did it without her it would deprive her of enforcement practice and rob her of the strength she would gain in overcoming.  This is God's primary reason for inaugurating the system of prayer and unequivocally binding himself to answer.  Therefore, there is no authority apart from persistent believing prayer.  ~ PAUL BILLHEIMER Dave Butts Harvest Prayer Ministries and National Prayer Committee National Day of Prayer Task Force www.NationalDayofPrayer.org   Carl Ray Louk "FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS" SG-1996 "LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY" SG-2000 "THE PHOENIX SHALL RISE" SD "EVEN A MAN WHO IS PURE IN HEART AND SAYS HIS PRAYERS BY NIGHT, MAY BECOME A WOLF WHEN THE WOLFBANE BLOOMS AND THE AUTUMN MOON IS BRIGHT."
