Do you desire to do “Great things for God”? YOU NEED TO PRAY! The power of the disciples originated in prayer. Jesus said, “ASK ME FOR ANYTHING IN MY NAME, AND I WILL DO IT!” That is, “ANYTHING” we ask in Jesus’ name He will do! WOW! There are no limits to the power of prayer.
But, you know what; we usually ask Jesus for such small things. But He can do anything. The great missionary, William Carey said, “Expect Great Things from God, Attempt Great Things for God.” Ephesians 3:20 declares, “He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” So let us stop setting limits on Jesus Christ by our small prayers!
Here’s another thing; some of us are confused about whether we should pray to God or to Jesus. Well, it makes no difference. It does not matter whether we pray to Jesus or to God; they both hear and answer together. Did you notice in the passage of Scripture that Jesus Himself answers our prayers? In other words; God answers your prayers. Jesus answers your prayers. God and Jesus do everything together. Here’s the key: when we pray in Jesus’ name, we pray with HIS AUTHORITY. We pray for HIS SAKE. We pray according to HIS WILL. When we pray in this way, Jesus promises do ANYTHING we ask!
