Listening To The Word - 1 Yearნიმუში

After Prayer
Acts 28:8
“His father was sick in bed…Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.”
Prayer is not convincing God about a course of action, but rather cooperating with God’s purposes. Paul prayed to God and then he placed his hands on the chief official’s father and healed him. Paul could only do what God showed him to do. The key to effective prayer is learning to listen and learning to see what God wants us to do in prayer. Once we have a sense of the direction in which God is leading us, we have faith to obey and pursue what we see and hear. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing God’s Word. Paul’s faith and our faith are built on a relationship with the Living God through prayer and knowing his Word to us.
Jesus, you are the Living Word. Thank you that you still speak and release faith within us to cooperate with your purposes.
