Your Prayers Are Powerful – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 15th

(The Power Of Prayer Isn’t In Its Volume Or Shouting)

TO THE BIBLE: James 5:16 TLB
“Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results.”

LET’S TALK
There’s no situation too hopeless for us to change through prayer. Check out what James 5:16-17 says in the Amplified Classic version: “…Pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.”

Our prayers aren’t just words—they’re powerful. Think about Paul and Silas for a second. They were captured, beaten, and thrown into a dungeon with their feet locked up.

But in Acts 16:25-26, the Bible says, “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose” (NIV).

How remarkable is this! Two guys prayed and sang to God, and there was an earthquake! It’s not like they were singing so loud that it caused the earthquake and broke everyone’s chains.

It lets you know that it certainly wasn’t the volume of their singing; it was the power of their prayers!

There’s nothing you can’t change through prayer. So, make prayer a big part of your life and your daily routine. It will keep you strong and help you stay focused, even when you’re facing the toughest challenges and pressures.

Dear Father, thank you for the privilege to pray and side with you to enforce your will in the earth and in the lives of men. Even now, I declare peace, progress and prosperity for the nations of the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
