Title: The Wonderful Results of Prayer
Text:
James 5:16 (NLT)
16b The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Observation:
There is only one way to meet the position of being a righteous person, and that is through the sacrificial provisions of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (HCSB)
21 He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Do you realize the power of prayer that you have in your life if you are a child of God?
Colossians 1:27-28 (NLT)
27 For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
28 So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.
I encourage you to never forget who you are because Christ Jesus lives in you. There is nothing that is impossible as you live in daily communications with God in prayer, and by faith, walk in the way; as you walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
What a wonderful world it would be if the lyrics of this song was the daily fruit that was produced from our prayer life, and our daily walk with Jesus leading and guiding us in each step we take, and each word that we speak.
"While passing through this world of sin,
and others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you".
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, thank You for giving us the gift of Jesus, and His abiding presence in the hearts of Your children.
Father, I pray that great power, and wonderful results will be the fruit of the hearers and the doers of Your divine word. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
