So Peter was kept in prison, but
fervent prayer for him was persistently made to God by the church (assembly) –
Acts 12:5 (AMP)
Then the Lord
said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect
who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell
you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes,
will He really find faith on the earth? Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV, emphasis mine)
Many people want change but they
do not want to lift a finger in order to see the change. They want it all
ready-made and delivered to them like Pizza. However, in spiritual things, the
mode of operation is different. Everyone needs to work out his salvation with
fear and trembling, Philippians 2:12. And continuous fervent prayer is one of
the ways of doing so.
Whatever changes you may desire
in your life: spiritual, financial, emotional, physical, etc., you can achieve
them by continuously praying about it until you receive your result. Answered
prayer is possible if you don’t quit.
The enemy may say, “I am not letting
go of your goods”, then it’s time for you to tell him boldly, “neither will I
allow you to keep it” by your actions which include continuous fervent prayer.
When you persist, he will let go like he let go of Jesus after tempting Him for
a while, Luke 4:1-12. No matter how long it may take, remain dogged. He can
never withstand a persistent prayer filled with faith.
Many people lose their victory at
the nick of time just because they quit believing and praying. Jesus says there
is salvation for those who endure till the end. Your end may be NOW! Yes, you
have been on it for a long time, your change may be now. Joy comes in the
morning, and so as long there is breath in your nostril, your morning is coming.
Prayer brings about change. Read more...
