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.
"Keep asking God for what you need. If you do that, he will give it to you. Confidently keep expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like [MET] knocking on a door in order to enter a room. And the way will be opened {God will open the way} for you to get what you pray for.
In addition to that, whenever you ask God for something when you pray to him, if you believe that he will give it to you, you will receive it from him."
So I tell you, whenever you ask God for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, if you do, God will do it for you.
And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show you how great my Father is. Anything that you ask my Father to do, anything that you ask with my authority [MTY], I will do."
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. Then he got down on his knees and prayed. Then, turning toward Tabitha’s body, he said, "Tabitha, stand up!" Immediately she opened her eyes and, when she saw Peter, she sat up.
He said to them, "You can expel this kind of evil spirit only by your praying that God will give you the power to do it. There is no other way that you can expel them."
Whoever among you is sick [RHQ] should call the leaders of the congregation to come to pray for him. They should put olive oil on him and, with the Lord’s authority [MTY] (OR, calling on the Lord to heal him), pray. And if they truly trust in the Lord when they pray [PRS], the sick person will be healed. The Lord will heal him. And if that person has sinned ◄in a way that caused him to be/and because of that he became► sick, if he ◄confesses what he did/says that he did what is wrong►, he will be forgiven {the Lord will forgive him}. So, because the Lord is able to heal the sick and to forgive sins, tell each other the sinful things that you have done, and pray for each other in order that you may be healed {that God may heal you} physically and spiritually. If righteous people pray and ask fervently for God to do something, God will certainly do it in a powerful way.
In their troubles, they also called out to Yahweh,
and he rescued them from their distresses.
He ◄calmed the storm/caused the wind to stop blowing►,
and he caused the waves to completely subside.
They were very glad when it became calm;
and Yahweh brought them safely into a 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 worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray to God, tell him what you need, and ask him to help you [DOU]. Also thank him for what he does for you. As a result, God will enable you not to worry about anything [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds in every way) [PRS]. That is, he will cause you to have inner peace because you have a relationship with Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!!
As you are doing that, keep praying to God at all times, and requesting him to do things for you and others; and let God’s Spirit direct what you pray. For this purpose, always be spiritually alert/watchful, and ◄always be persistent in/never quit► praying for all God’s people.
