“The Power of Prayer is Unlimited”

  • James 5:17-18
  • Matthew 21:22
  • Matthew 17:21
  • John 15:7
  • Acts 16:25-26

Prayer is a conversation with God. When we pray we are speaking one on one with the creator of everything. In everything you ask in prayer and believe you shall receive if you abide in Jesus and he abides in you. There are 3 keys.

You must 100% believe it is going to happen. When you sit in a chair you have 100% faith that it is going to hold you up and it usually does. That is the kind of faith you should have when praying.

We must be committed to the cause. God wants to see our commitment to the request. By fasting when praying your showing God self sacrifice to the cause.

You must abide in Christ and he must abide in you. When you abide in God you will pray for things that are in line with what God wants. Your prayers are in the will of God. Praying for millions of dollars, a beach house, or a Jaguar is a selfish prayer and is not being prayed from a heart abiding in Christ. Instead a person who abides in Christ will pray for enough money to pay the bills, a roof over their head, and a car good enough to make it from A to B.
