The Power of Prayer

Powerful praying gets results

When the 120 disciples gathered in the Upper Room for a time of prayer, the outcome was awesome! The Holy Spirit fell on them; 3,000 souls gave their lives to Jesus—in one day—and the New Testament Church was birthed! That is the power of prayer. This same ability to have tremendous efficacy in prayer, privately and corporately, is available to us today through our relationship with Jesus Christ.

If we truly understood that our prayers have power, we would be motivated to use every opportunity to pray more. Like Jesus, we too can enjoy unrestricted and uninterrupted communion with God (Jn. 11:41- 42), but too often we allow self-erected barriers to diminish our success in prayer. It is crucial that we understand the position, power, and authority Christ has invested in us so we can pray powerfully and see results.
