Prayer CHANGES EVERYTHING

I can reminder a time when I found it very hard to pray. It wasn't that I didn't believe in prayer, it was that I didn't know about the POWER of prayer. When I saw people pray, it always seemed that they were so spiritual, with all the eloquent words and authoritative sound of their voice. I thought I could never pray like that. Then God revealed something to me about prayer. He said, "I am not looking for people with ability, I am looking for people that are available to me".

When I realized that God was looking for a willing and submitted vessel, then I thought, "well, I am certainly available to you and willing to receive whatever it is that you have for me". However, I was still stuck on the whole "speaking with the tongues of angels" thing, as I didn't think I could speak like that and if I couldn't do that I thought, "will God hear my prayers"?

It wasn't until years later that God revealed truth to me about "how we should pray". I was asked to pray at a Singles meeting in Virginia Beach and I didn't really know what I should say or how I should pray, until I walked up to the podium and God said "open up your mouth and I speak my heart through you. When I opened my mouth and spoke a few short works, I saw the hearts of the people open and tears were flowing. I was shocked at what God was doing in the mist of His people. It was at that moment that I finally got it! I understood what prayer was really about. It was not about ability, it was about relationship.

When you have a relationship with the Father, you learn His heart and He is the one that gives you what to say and it accomplishes what it was sent forth to do. So, when you pray today, don't think about how you sound or what you say. Simple get in tuned to what the Father wants to say in and through you and let His will be done.

You will come to know as I now know, prayer is a WEAPON! It is more powerful than any earthly arsenal. Although man has built weapons that will destroy the flesh, he has yet to build a weapon more powerful than prayer, that divides soul and spirit. Prayer, not only changes things...It changes EVERYTHING!
