Prayer Secrets by Kenneth Copeland

23 Apr

kenneth-copeland_1

Prayer is the foundation of every successful Christian

endeavor. Time spent with God is vital if you desire a fruitful

Christian life. As the foundation of every Christian endeavor,

it plays a vital role in living a successful Christian life. Study

the lives of the great men and women of God from the past,

and you’ll see the strong emphasis they placed on prayer.

Without prayer, they would never have been able to achieve

such tremendous results.

  

Throughout the New Testament we can see the value of

prayer in the founding of the early churches. The Apostle Paul

prayed and interceded many hours for the new believers. In

Ephesians 1:16 he wrote, “[I] Cease not to give thanks for you,

making mention of you in my prayers.” In Colossians 1:3 he

said, “We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, praying always for you.” In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, he

instructed the Church to “pray without ceasing.” Luke 18:1

says, “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.”

 

It is not enough to know that we should pray. We need to

know why. Look at Ephesians 4:14-16:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to

and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,

by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,

whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking

the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,

which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole

body fitly joined together and compacted by that

which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual

working in the measure of every part, maketh increase

of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

 

Compare the Body of Christ to a brick building. The bricks

would topple if they were not joined together. Mortar forms

those bricks into a solid, impenetrable wall. It is held together,

or made useful, by the effectual working of every part. In the

same way, the power of love, through prayer and intercession,

is the mortar which knits the Body of Christ together. Each

member, or “brick,” contributes his part by building up the

Body and strengthening it through prayer. If one is injured, or

weakened in some way, the others are able to stand in prayer

and make up for that weakness.
