Equality Through Prayer
The way God designed creation is the most equitable and fair way possible. Anyone can have the most power, if they want it...if they believe God is actually the most powerful and is looking for ways to help them.
The greatest power is available to anyone who wants it, because the greatest power a human can possibly wield is prayer.
Prayer is self-qualifying. Anyone can excel at it. Anyone can begin praying today for the first time and be the most serious pro at it in minutes, because prayer only requires genuine trust and desire. You could have no arms and legs, and be on a ventilator in a hospital and still be the most excellent user of prayer on the planet. In fact, weakness is a great help in choosing prayer as your place of power.
What the fall in the garden did was take true power and hide it behind a veil. Jesus made it possible for anyone to grab the power on the other side of the veil.
Before the fall...before the veil was erected between heaven and earth...Adam saw heaven move at the sound of his words in an open heaven. Heaven STILL moves immediately at the sound of my words. But, because it is usually unseen at first, it takes faith...confidence...to actually choose to use the most powerful tool known to mankind.
I have honestly NEVER prayed about something like I really meant it and not eventually seen a pretty amazing result. Rarely is the answer to prayer what I expected or pictured, but never have I ever come to the conclusion that prayer didn't significantly impact the situations I applied it to.
Right now, creation is groaning for more prayer to take place. Anyone can be the one who changed the entire experience of creation...if they simply believe it works...
it works....even when all I can manage is a groan or an utterance
Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
Romans 8:18-26 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
