I was reading In Joshua this morning...
“And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.”
Joshua 10:13-14 KJV
We must maintain crazy faith, like Joshua, who just spoke to the sun "Sun stand still."
Why is it that we doubt the power of OUR prayer as individuals? Satan wants nothing more than to sow seeds of doubt in your mind! If he can make you believe that your prayer ISN'T enough, the battle is half way over. He knows your downfalls and short-comings, he sees when you stumble- and he desires to keep you feeling unworthy of forgiveness! He battles your worth in Christ, your "clout", and wants you to doubt the power you hold when you speak the name of Jesus. You may feel tempted to pass prayer requests on, to others, so they can "help you pray" about something, and in the back of your mind you may feel THEY may reach heaven much faster than your prayers will...
Absolutely there is power in numbers, and unity -- but it doesn't make the power Christ holds inside of us ANY less!
It's time you start believing in the power that dwells within YOU -- Christ possesses all power, inside of YOU! No, it's never "look what I did!", but it's ALL for the Glory of God and God alone!
It reminds me of a message Bishop Mike Dobbs preached years ago about "Extreme Faith". Do you have that? Do you have EXTREME faith? The moment we grasp the full power potential we hold with Christ dwelling in us, and living a holy life in OBEDIENCE to His Word, there will be NO stopping the Church! Have faith, even if it's the size of a mustard seed, it can MOVE MOUNTAINS!
Believe in the power of prayer. It is important. But mostly, beginning today, believe in the power of YOUR prayer. 💕
