Living in Increase (Part 7) - Increase in PrayerSample

The Power of Persistence

If we have hope and faith in people in positions of authority to carry out justice on our behalf, we can certainly trust our Heavenly Father to do so! John 18:1- 8 also speaks to being persistent in our asking. When you pray, claim victory over the enemy and give Glory to God even before it comes to pass. Every time a situation comes to mind, claim the victory!

Within this Scripture, the verse that shouts the challenge to me is the “however” at the end:

“However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

It takes faith to believe that He hears and answers our prayers. He is looking for that purity of heart, where His children know He loves them completely and is listening!

Action Step: Ask God if there is a person in your life that you consider an adversary. Simply file your petition (tell God about it!). Leave the courthouse (your prayer time) believing He will handle it.
