The Power of a Praying Coupleনমুনা

When you need to feel a sense of God’s presence with you, the quickest, most powerful, and most effective way to have that is to stop everything you are doing and give praise and thanks to God for who He is and all He has done for you. Whenever you feel the need for something to change—in your attitude, mind, circumstances, or communication—this is exactly what you need to do.

The reason praise and worship make such an enormous difference when a husband and wife praise and worship God together is because when you are in the presence of God, things change. Always! Your mind can change. Your situation can change. Your attitude can change. Even your heart can change. When you know that something needs to change but you are not certain how to make that happen yourself, just know you will not be able to do it alone. At least not to the degree that God can work that in you. You need the presence of God—plus your unity, oneness of mind, and purpose together as a couple—in order to move powerfully into that kind of holy breakthrough.

If you ever come to an impasse between the two of you and can’t seem to make a change, deliberately worship God together and invite Him to inhabit your praises. You will sense a stronghold breaking that cannot withstand the power of His powerful presence. You will feel it—if not at that very moment, then soon. You were born to worship God, and the quicker you do it as your greatest privilege and joy, the clearer you will sense His deeper purpose for your lives—individually and together.

One of the most amazing things about God is that He shares Himself with us. When we lift up our hearts to Him in worship, we are closer to Him than at any other time. And He pours into us His love, joy, peace, and all the other fruits of His Spirit. He even shares His power with us. It’s not that we become as powerful as He is. It’s that we can move more powerfully in our faith and prayers than we could ever begin to do without Him being poured into us.

Remember, when you can’t see a way to change anything, He can. And He can impart that change to you at that moment or perhaps later when you are least expecting it.

God always hears a worshipper (see John 9:31). That’s a good thing when you know you need something to change. It could be because of something you or your husband or wife has done wrong. Or it could be because of something you both have done right. Sometimes the hard things you are going through are because of the work of the enemy trying to thwart the plans of God in your life. Whatever it is, God will show you as you lift your heart to Him in worship. The quickest way to break through something that needs to change is to praise God as long as it takes to sense the breakthrough you need. Never underestimate the power of heartfelt praise and worship to God from a husband and wife together.
