Day 4 "Unleashing the Power"

Would that the people of Greater Bethel learn how to have this kind of faith. The church is the place where people should find healing for their hurts, a shoulder for their sadness, a friend for their failures and a word for their worry. What happened to the time when people prayed for each other? A time when the members of the church prayed and interceded for each other. A time when church was a one big family. I would that the church would return... To the old landmark. I know that sounds funny coming from me but there are somethings that the church should never get to big, educated, sophisticated, technology astute that we leave prayer out.

Thought for today: "The Holy Spirit is the one, who by His presence flowing in our lives, generates the power in us. When we pray, we are opening an avenue for the release of His power. The Holy Spirit brings the power of God into our lives and enables us to be conduit of it. We become like a lightning rod as we transmit the power in prayer?"

Pray for today: Father, You have taught us that Your power works through faith-fill people who pray. Teach us during these 40days of prayer how to become people of prayer, believers who pray and a church that understands the power of prayer given to us. Each and every day we encounter people who feel worthless, useless, purpose less, a failure and no good. Those whom play those old tapes over and over and over in their heads. Let our Greater Bethel be a lighthouse. Let our church be a hospital. Let our church be the family one needs in order to find the love they need. Set free those who are bond by the hold of the enemy whether it is emotional, physical, spiritual, financial, or social through the prayer of the church. You said that if we touch and agree you would hear and answer our prayers. Unleash Your power in us, for us and through us. For Your glory and honor. Again, we pray that You will make us a powerful, prayerful and purposeful church. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
