O poder da oração
A oração é o canal mais poderoso de comunicação com Deus. Através dela, milagres acontecem, montanhas são movidas e o impossível se torna possível.
Pedidos com fé
Jesus ensinou: pedi e recebereis. Tudo o que pedirmos em seu nome, crendo, Ele fará. A fé transforma a oração em poder.
"Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. [Luke 11:9-13]
And whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive."
For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you.
And I will do whatever you ask in My name [as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. [Ex 3:14] If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do it.
Oração e milagres
A oração dos justos tem grande poder. Pedro orou e Dorcas ressuscitou. Jesus disse que certos demônios só se expulsam com jejum e oração.
But Peter sent them all out [of the room] and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise!" And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
He replied to them, "This kind [of unclean spirit] cannot come out by anything but prayer [to the Father]."
Is anyone among you sick? He must call for the elders (spiritual leaders) of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
He hushed the storm to a gentle whisper,
So that the waves of the sea were still. [Ps 65:7; 89:9; Matt 8:26]
Then they were glad because of the calm,
And He guided them to their desired haven (harbor).
Orar em todo tempo
A Bíblia nos exorta a orar sem cessar, com ações de graças e súplicas, revestidos da armadura espiritual. A oração traz paz sobrenatural.
Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. [John 14:27]
With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.
