Prayer can move mountains

Greetings:
Prayer can move mountains. Not literally, but in the spiritual realm, the power of prayer does move things in ways that can't be measured in human terms.
We know that prayer can accomplish things that are above our own level of intellect and understanding.
All through the Bible we read about powerful prayers of faith, persistent prayer, intercessory prayer, prayer of healing, prayer of deliverance and prayer without ceasing.
These prayers resulted in answers.
What about today, are prayers still answered?
When we pray do we expect answers, do we expect God to move and mountains moved in our lives and the lives of others?
I really didn't understand the need and the importance of prayer until I read that the forces of evil – those who follow Satan and many non-Christian based religions – are indeed praying for our demise.
They are praying every day that God's church fails and closes their doors around the world. They are praying that God's people fail and grow weak and give up. They are praying that sickness and disease overtake God's people. They are praying that acts of war against God's people and is nations continue and there is no peace. They are praying that the strongholds of evil reign and God's message of saving grace is not preached around the world.
As Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Without pray we won’t get anything done. With prayer we can accomplish God’s calling, his purpose, his work though us.
Once we realize our own weakness and the powers that are against us we understand the need and importance of prayer. If we want to do the things God has called us to do – we have to be praying.
Be blessed.

Pray with expectancy

  Note - For the next several days I will be off the grid with no Internet or phone service. I will resume my morning writings on Monday.  ...
