"... And having prayed, the place where they were assembled ..."
(Acts 4:31)
 

          When the Church prays God is present. Prayer brings God into the church and placed in the bottom of our hearts.
There is genuine joy, power, love, worship or sanctification without the fuel and the heat of the Word of prayer. Without the Word and praying our efforts are merely enthusiasms that go like the morning breeze.
          Only a true "spirit of prayer", embedded in our being, can bring the Holy Spirit into the depths of our life, family, church and world.
          The structures of the earth may be shaken by the power of prayer. Extremely powerful bombs reach the depths of the rocks, break concrete dams and pierce armor of sophisticated heavy weapons, but do not change the man.
          Prayer is more powerful than the sum of all blunt weapons known. Without even an explosion, without any fuss or violence, she reaches the depths of the soul and transforms the most hardened of men.
           Prayer shakes the heavens and the earth. He maketh the family strife; silent sea; calms the winds; opens blind eyes; make tumors disappear and raise the dead from the grave.
           When the Church prays the nation is transformed. Rulers broken laws changed - even if they are not aware that it is God who is doing it.
           The bandits surrender, miscreants weep arrogant men subject themselves voluntarily - though not know where this comes persuasion.
            It is the cry of the holy God who comes to comfort the dying man to the gate of the valley of the shadow of death; Prayer multiplies the bread and gives rise to the provision of which never could imagine.
            Prayer changes the heart, and puts armies knees.
            Pray, brother. Pray for your life. Pray for your relatives.
            Pray for your church, intercede for your pastor, by their leader, and all who serve God.
            Pray for the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ in the world. Cry for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, pray for global peace.
            But pray for the salvation of the lost.
           The heavens and the earth tremble when forgetting everything, we stopped, we gather and pray. The earth is broken; sea opens, the moon, the sun has - God splits the heavens and come down to us.
            Prayer moves, shakes and transforms the world.
(Nobody needs to know anything. Goodness. Otherwise spoils.)
"... When you pray, go into your room ... pray to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who sees in secret shall reward thee openly. "(Matthew 6:6).
 

God bless you.
