God's Promises Sunday

 

The Power Of Prayer

Mark 11: 24, Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you received them, and you will have them.

One of the most common doubts that many Christians have, is whether or not prayer works. Many preachers encourage those who have received answers to prayer to tell people about them.

There are many people who would doubt an answer to prayer if it fell on their head, but those who have faith realize that without a doubt prayers do get answered. I tell this little personal story because I want people to know that prayers being answered really do happen.

I have had a personal experience very recently, that really was a boost to my faith as well as the few people that I told it to. A month or two ago I had an attack of eczema. It got to the point where I had about 80% of my body covered with a rash.

The first thing most of us do is what I did, I looked for some product that promised relief. Needless to say, that didn't happen. My problem was so bad that when I fell asleep, the itching was so bad that it woke me up. I didn't know what to do. In a very short time, I remembered the fact that taking problems to the Lord is essential.

I spoke to the Lord about healing; I claimed it and believed it. Nothing happened. As things seemed to be getting worse. I stepped up the time I spent talking to the Lord. I was trying very hard to believe about a healing, when every day it seemed to be getting worse.

Luke 17:19, And He said to him, Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.

About two weeks ago I was taking a shower. As the water was hitting my body I had a feeling that the only way I could explain it is by using the word ecstasy. That is not an exaggeration. Everything felt so good I felt like staying there forever with the water directed all over me.

Shortly after my shower, I told my wife that I believed what I was feeling was the power of God washing my body clean. She thought so too. The next day my situation was better, but that's as far as it went.

I guess I needed a little boost for my faith because the Lord put it in my heart to find a moisturizer rather than looking for a medical type of solution. I believe He directed me to the one I did get.

The next day, I was about 90% healed, and by the end of the day, it was 100%. I don't know of any other way to explain what happened other than the fact that the Holy Spirit touched me with the healing power on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My message to everyone that reads this, is believe what the Bible says no matter how tough it gets. Sometimes it isn't easy, because satan tries to nullify God's work. Stand firm and win. God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the Cross for me. By your Stripes I was Healed and your Blood washed away my sins. Your Death and Resurrection made by Salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal Savior. Thank You Lord

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
