Prevailing Prayer Gets God's Attention

[Don]

Prevailing Prayers get answered

Remember the story of Jacob in Genesis 32, he wrestled the Angel of the Lord all night long, He told that angel I won't let go till you bless me. When I was saved in 71 the one thing I remember about the saints of God in our church was that they would go to the alter and pray. Some would stay at that alter and pray the whole service. They prevailed in prayer, it was serious business to pray until they had the answer. Today seems were to busy to get down to real praying as those saints did. One thing I know about those dear saints was they had the power of God in their lives and their prayers were answered and many miracles took place. It might behoove all of us to take a lesson from this, If its serious enough to pray for, it's serious enough to tarry for.

Heard a testimony of a pastor, She had a husband that was lost and a drunk. He left her, and she prayed about it with no success. Then she really inquired of God about this and God told her she had a superficial prayer about the problem. God told her to quit complaining and to grab hold to the alter about the problem. She locked her self in a prayer closet, and began to pray. She made her mind up she wasn't going leave that closet till God answered the prayer or released her from it. Hours on end she prayed and God honored her prayer. The husband came home that night and gave his heart to the Lord and was delivered totally from alcohol. All this to say, Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Thank you Father for this prayer post, it is a great reminder of our need to fully and completely have our faith in you and your power. I also thank you Lord for the Saints that showed Don the power of prayer in his younger years, may we all be so blessed with such leadership. These most likely did not realize the impact they had on this man and possibly many others, by simply living their faith openly. Father may we be so bold and faithful to share our strength in you with others in such an impacting way. I pray Lord we learn to always seek your face above all else in this world, in Jesus name, amen.

 

Great post, Don. Thank you so much for sharing your spirituality. Your sister in Christ, Lamb.

Don, you know I love this post. It is so true and so needed at this time. Too many saints of God are giving up and falling away even many pastors. May God help us all to fight the good fight and it begins on our knees.
 
Pray without ceasing.  1 Thessalonians 5:17

 
Peter therefore was kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him. Acts 12:5
 
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers
Romans 1:9

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
