EARTHQUAKE
MEMORISE:
'Two are better than one; Because they have a good reward for
their labor.' (Eccles 4:9)
READ: Acts 4:23-31
Peter
and John had been accused by the authorities for healing a lame
man and turning thousands to Jesus. After their trial, they were
warned never again to preach in the name of Jesus. The disciples
had no name other than Jesus to talk about, so they went to meet
their brethren and reported all that had happened. The next thing
they did was to pray from the heart and a small earthquake followed.
In
Acts 16:23-28, Paul and Silas delivered a young girl of the spirit
of divination through which her masters made money. When these
men realized that their source of income was gone, they arrested
Paul and Silas and brought them before magistrates, accusing them
falsely. They were beaten and locked up. But because they were
spiritual eagles that knew how to laugh at the storm and glide
in it, they began to pray and worship God in the prison and before
they knew it, there was a great earthquake that shook the foundations
of the prison and immediately set everybody free.
If
these brethren could pray and sing and attract earthquakes, you
can, too. When you get God's attention like that and he sends
an earthquakes, the foundation of your problem will move, and
every humiliation in your life will give way: you will be totally
free.
How
do you bring down an earthquake? The first thing was that Peter,
John and the others lifted up their voices in one accord. There
was no dissenting voice. They were all in unity. There is power
in unity. There is a good reward for the effort of two or more
who are in agreement (Eccles 4:9-12). Looking at their prayer,
you can learn from the pattern.
Start
by telling God who he is then tell him what he has done from the
past till now. After this, present your problems to him and tell
him what you want him to do for you. At this time let your praise
be 'High praises' and let it come from a pure heart. Release your
faith to expect its immediate manifestation. When he answers,
you will know.
ACTION POINT
Between today and the end of December, pray daily
With Ephesians 1:16-19, 3:16-19 and Colossians 1:9-11. |
