Power Of Prayer - How powerful is it?
The power of prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 declares, "…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers.
Jesus taught, "…I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20). 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." The Bible urges us, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).
Power Of Prayer - How do I tap into it?
The power of prayer is not the result of the person praying. Rather, the power resides in the God who is being prayed to. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him." No matter the person praying, the passion behind the prayer, or the purpose of the prayer - God answers prayers that are in agreement with His will. His answers are not always yes, but are always in our best interest. When our desires line up with His will, we will come to understand that in time. When we pray passionately and purposefully, according to God's will, God responds powerfully!
We cannot access powerful prayer by using "magic formulas." Our prayers being answered is not based on the eloquence of our prayers. We don't have to use certain words or phrases to get God to answer our prayers. In fact, Jesus rebukes those who pray using repetitions, "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him" (Matthew 6:7-8). Prayer is communicating with God. All you have to do is ask God for His help. Psalm 107:28-30 reminds us, "Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven." There is power in prayer!

Power Of Prayer - For what kind of things should I pray?
God's help through the power of prayer is available for all kinds of requests and issues. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." If you need an example of a prayer, read Matthew 6:9-13. These verses are known as the Lord's prayer. The Lord's prayer is not a prayer we are supposed to memorize and simply recite to God. It is only an example of how to pray and the things that should go into a prayer - worship, trust in God, requests, confession, protection, etc. Pray for these kinds of things, but speak to God using your own words.
The Word of God is full of accounts describing the power of prayer in various situations. The power of prayer has overcome enemies (Psalm 6:9-10), conquered death (2 Kings 4:3-36), brought healing (James 5:14-15), and defeated demons (Mark 9:29). God, through prayer, opens eyes, changes hearts, heals wounds, and grants wisdom (James 1:5). The power of prayer should never be underestimated because it draws on the glory and might of the infinitely powerful God of the universe! Daniel 4:35 proclaims, "All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: 'What have you done?'"

Kekuatan Doa - Bagaimana kuat itu?
Kekuatan doa tidak boleh dianggap remeh. James 5:16-18 menyatakan, "... Doa orang yang benar sangat kuat dan efektif Elia adalah. Pria seperti kita. Ia berdoa dengan sungguh-sungguh bahwa itu tidak akan hujan, dan tidak hujan di atas tanah selama tiga setengah tahun. Sekali lagi ia berdoa, dan langit memberi hujan, dan bumi yang dihasilkan tanaman tersebut. Tuhan yang paling pasti mendengarkan doa, doa jawaban, dan bergerak dalam menanggapi doa.
Yesus mengajarkan, "... Aku berkata kepadamu kebenaran, jika Anda memiliki iman sekecil biji sawi, Anda dapat berkata kepada gunung ini, 'Pindah dari sini ke sana' dan akan bergerak Tidak akan mungkin bagi Anda." (Matius 17:20). 2 Korintus 10:4-5 memberitahu kita, "senjata kita berjuang dengan yang tidak senjata dunia. Sebaliknya, mereka memiliki kekuatan ilahi untuk menghancurkan benteng-benteng. Kami meruntuhkan argumen dan setiap pretensi yang menempatkan dirinya melawan pengetahuan Allah, dan kita mengambil tawanan setiap pikiran untuk membuatnya taat kepada Kristus. Alkitab mendesak kita, "Dan berdoa dalam Roh pada semua kesempatan dengan segala macam doa dan permintaan Dengan ini dalam pikiran., Waspada dan selalu terus berdoa untuk semua orang kudus" (Efesus 6:18).
Kekuatan Doa - Bagaimana saya tekan ke dalamnya?
Kekuatan doa bukan hasil dari orang yang berdoa. Sebaliknya, kekuasaan berada di dalam Allah yang sedang berdoa kepada. 1 Yohanes 5:14-15 memberitahu kita, "Ini adalah kepercayaan yang kita miliki dalam mendekati Tuhan: bahwa jika kita meminta sesuatu menurut kehendak-Nya, ia mendengar kita Dan jikalau kita tahu, bahwa Ia mengabulkan kita - apa saja yang kita minta - kita tahu. bahwa kita memiliki apa yang kita minta kepada-Nya. . Tidak peduli orang yang berdoa, semangat di balik doa, atau tujuan doa - Allah menjawab doa-doa yang sesuai dengan kehendak-Nya. Jawaban-Nya tidak selalu ya, tapi selalu sesuai dengan kepentingan kita yang terbaik. Ketika keinginan baris kami dengan kehendak-Nya, kita akan memahami bahwa dalam waktu. Ketika kita berdoa penuh gairah dan sengaja, menurut kehendak Allah, Tuhan merespon kuat!
Kita tidak dapat mengakses doa kuat dengan menggunakan "formula ajaib." . Doa-doa kita dijawab tidak didasarkan pada kefasihan doa-doa kita. Kita tidak harus menggunakan kata-kata tertentu atau frase untuk mendapatkan Allah menjawab doa-doa kita. Bahkan, Yesus memarahi orang-orang yang pengulangan menggunakan berdoa, "Dan ketika Anda berdoa, jangan terus mengoceh seperti orang kafir, karena mereka berpikir bahwa mereka akan didengar karena banyaknya kata-kata. Jangan seperti mereka, karena Bapamu mengetahui apa yang Anda perlu sebelum Anda bertanya padanya "(Matius 6:7-8). Doa adalah berkomunikasi dengan Allah. Yang harus Anda lakukan adalah meminta kepada Tuhan untuk pertolongan-Nya. Mazmur 107:28-30 mengingatkan kita, "Lalu mereka berseru kepada TUHAN dalam kesesakan mereka, dan dia membawa mereka keluar dari penderitaan mereka Dia terhenti badai untuk berbisik,.. Gelombang laut itu senyap Mereka senang ketika itu tumbuh tenang, dan ia membimbing mereka untuk surga yang diinginkan. Ada kuasa dalam doa!
Kekuatan Doa - Untuk apa jenis hal yang harus saya berdoa?
Bantuan Tuhan melalui kuasa doa tersedia untuk semua jenis permintaan dan isu-isu. Filipi 4:6-7 memberitahu kita, "Jangan khawatir tentang apa pun, tetapi dalam segala hal, dengan doa dan permohonan dengan ucapan syukur, sekarang permintaan Anda kepada Tuhan hati. Dan Damai sejahtera Allah, yang melampaui segala pengertian, akan Anda penjaga dan Anda pikiran dalam Kristus Yesus Jika Anda memerlukan contoh doa, membaca Matius 6:9-13. Ayat-ayat ini dikenal sebagai doa Tuhan. Doa Tuhan bukanlah doa kita diharapkan untuk menghafal dan hanya membacakan kepada Allah. Ini hanyalah sebuah contoh bagaimana untuk berdoa dan hal-hal yang harus masuk ke doa - ibadah, kepercayaan pada Tuhan, permintaan, pengakuan, perlindungan, dll Berdoalah untuk hal-hal seperti, tetapi berbicara kepada Tuhan menggunakan kata-kata Anda sendiri.
Firman Tuhan penuh dengan rekening menggambarkan kekuatan doa dalam berbagai situasi. . Kekuatan doa telah mengalahkan musuh (Mazmur 6:9-10), kematian menaklukkan (2 Raja-raja 4:3-36), membawa penyembuhan (Yakobus 5:14-15), dan mengalahkan iblis (Markus 9:29). Tuhan, melalui doa, membuka mata, hati berubah, menyembuhkan luka, dan hibah hikmat (Yakobus 1:5). Kekuatan doa tidak boleh dianggap remeh karena mengacu pada kemuliaan dan mungkin dari Allah tak terbatas yang kuat dari alam semesta! Daniel 4:35 menyatakan, "Semua bangsa di bumi dianggap sebagai apa-apa Dia sesuka hatinya dengan kekuatan-kekuatan dari surga dan bangsa di bumi Tidak ada yang bisa menahan tangannya atau berkata kepadanya:.." Apa yang telah Anda lakukan? "
