Are you a parent whose children try to avoid that praying before bed as a family? Be as wise as a serpent and humble as a dove! I’m using a scenario where your four girls are in the bedroom and you the parent are in the sitting room waiting for them to leave the bedroom!
One girl, shows up and the rest of the girls need to be dragged out the room. Come on! Rise up and go to that bedroom and pray with your girls. Prayer can travel. Learn to take it to those that need it and also those you’d like to be part of it!
By travelling I mean, firstly, that it can be carried out in any place you’d like it to be. Don’t think it intrinsic that you can only pray in such and such a place.
The secret place wasn’t designed to be static or stagnant or place-bound. Be flexible. If you intend to pray for someone, do not use the excuse that they are far, or don’t say to yourself, I hope to walk to you and yet where you wish to go is two hours away (and yet we are in lockdown)
The solution? Pick up the phone and call that person. Take the prayer to them. An asthmatic cousin of mine, I kept looking at until I had to take the prayer to her! Why? The bible says ‘You shall lay hands on the sick and they’ll recover…’
I laid hands on her! The asthma left. It’s been over 9 weeks now! She’s totally healed! There is that prayer where the layer of hands and the sick need to be together. This is what I’m trying to elucidate.
There’s the other kind, where a soldier tells Jesus that he didn’t need to reach the sick person…but to send a word. That’s not the kind I’m here to talk about (though the main point still stands as faith). Do you believe she’ll get healed only when you lay hands?
Then that’s the way she will!
Do you believe you only need to hear her voice on the other side of the phone? Then that’s the way she’ll be restored!
In conclusion, or in a nutshell, my objective today was; Be creative on how to deliver prayer, and two; know that prayer can’t be limited in anyway!
Cheers!
