POWER OF PRAYER 3-13-15 video prayer crippled healed
PRAYER the English word is to beg (NOT CORRECT) In Hebrew it means wholehearted-singleness of mind-focus concentration to God, worship: an orator to addressed to God: to bring to, bring near to turn the mind to, attend to, be attentive: to a person to apply oneself to, attach oneself to, hold or cleave to a person.
Ex 8:8 Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to God to rid us of these frogs. I’ll release the people so that they can make their sacrifices and worship God.”
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “Certainly. Set the time. When do you want the frogs out of here, away from your servants and people and out of your houses? You’ll be rid of frogs except for those in the Nile.”
10 “Make it tomorrow.” Moses said, “Tomorrow it is — so you’ll realize that there is no God like our God.
11 The frogs will be gone. You and your houses and your servants and your people, free of frogs. The only frogs left will be the ones in the Nile.”
12 Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses prayed to God about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 God responded to Moses’ prayer: The frogs died off — houses, courtyards, fields, all free of frogs. MSG
1 Kings 18:23 Let the Baal prophets bring up two oxen; let them pick one, butcher it, and lay it out on an altar on firewood — but don’t ignite it. I’ll take the other ox, cut it up, and lay it on the wood. But neither will I light the fire.
24 Then you pray to your gods and I’ll pray to God. The god who answers with fire will prove to be, in fact, God.” All the people agreed: “A good plan — do it!”
25 Elijah told the Baal prophets, “Choose your ox and prepare it. You go first, you’re the majority. Then pray to your god, but don’t light the fire.”
26 So they took the ox he had given them, prepared it for the altar, then prayed to Baal. They prayed all morning long, “O Baal, answer us!” But nothing happened — not so much as a whisper of breeze. Desperate, they jumped and stomped on the altar they had made.
27 By noon, Elijah had started making fun of them, taunting, “Call a little louder — he is a god, after all. Maybe he’s off meditating somewhere or other, or maybe he’s gotten involved in a project, or maybe he’s on vacation. You don’t suppose he’s overslept, do you, and needs to be waked up?”
28 They prayed louder and louder, cutting themselves with swords and knives — a ritual common to them — until they were covered with blood.
29 This went on until well past noon. They used every religious trick and strategy they knew to make something happen on the altar, but nothing happened — not so much as a whisper, not a flicker of response.
30 Then Elijah told the people, “Enough of that — it’s my turn. Gather around.” And they gathered. He then put the altar back together for by now it was in ruins.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes of Jacob, the same Jacob to whom God had said, “From now on your name is Israel.”
32 He built the stones into the altar in honor of God. Then Elijah dug a fairly wide trench around the altar.
33 He laid firewood on the altar, cut up the ox, put it on the wood, and said, “Fill four buckets with water and drench both the ox and the firewood.”
34 Then he said, “Do it again,” and they did it. Then he said, “Do it a third time,”
35 and they did it a third time. The altar was drenched and the trench was filled with water.
36 When it was time for the sacrifice to be offered, Elijah the prophet came up and prayed, “O God, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, make it known right now that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I’m doing what I’m doing under your orders.
37 Answer me, God; O answer me and reveal to this people that you are God, the true God, and that you are giving these people another chance at repentance.”
38 Immediately the fire of God fell and burned up the offering, the wood, the stones, the dirt, and even the water in the trench.
39 All the people saw it happen and fell on their faces in awed worship, exclaiming, “God is the true God! God is the true God!” MSG

2 Chron 7:1 When Solomon finished praying, a bolt of lightning out of heaven struck the Whole-Burnt-Offering and sacrifices and the Glory of God filled The Temple.

Luke 18:10 “Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax man.
11 The Pharisee posed and prayed like this: ‘Oh, God, I thank you that I am not like other people — robbers, crooks, adulterers, or, heaven forbid, like this tax man.
12 I fast twice a week and tithe on all my income.’
13 “Meanwhile the tax man, slumped in the shadows, his face in his hands, not daring to look up, said, ‘God, give mercy. Forgive me, a sinner.'”
14 Jesus commented, “This tax man, not the other, went home made right with God. If you walk around with your nose in the air, you’re going to end up flat on your face, but if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself.” MSG

1 Cor 14:13 So, when you pray in your private prayer language, don’t hoard the experience for yourself. Pray for the insight and ability to bring others into that intimacy.
14 If I pray in tongues, my spirit prays but my mind lies fallow, and all that intelligence is wasted.
15 So what’s the solution? The answer is simple enough. Do both. I should be spiritually free and expressive as I pray, but I should also be thoughtful and mindful as I pray. I should sing with my spirit, and sing with my mind. MSG
