Make Something Happen — Pray!


When we begin to pray — consistently and with purpose — God will begin to work in the realm of the spirit. Things will happen that had not occurred before. We will begin to experience the power of God working through our lives. God will give appointments that we did not previously place on our calendars. He will send us to men…and men to us. We will naturally expect the unexpected. What seemed impossible (after consistent prayer) is now on the horizon!

Our purpose for ministry is renewed when we pray. Our senses are sharpened and we will truly have a “purpose-driven” life. Prayer opens new challenges! Our name finally comes up once again before God to be used by Him.

When we pray, chains fall! Lifestyles change. Depression has no place! The power that once held us is at bay. God’s riches blessings are upon our lives as we walk in the Spirit.

Pray always. Don’t faint…and watch God make something happen!
