Psalm 119:149 "Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your laws. "

Living According to God's Way: Prayer and Evangelism

Proverbs 14:27 - "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death."

Acts 3:1-6 "1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

While waiting on God today, these versus above impressed on my heart. It reminded me of a saying, that much prayer, much power; no prayer, no power. We see that in Acts 3 that there was a time of prayer. One can conclude that the early church was a church of prayer, and as a result, they were a powerful church, where thousands were coming to Christ and people were being saved daily. It says in Luke that 11:9 that when we ask, it will be given to use, explaining the power we have in asking God. Something key in living according to God's trustworthy laws is being his witness( we are called to do the Great Commission Matthew 28). In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us that we will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us, and we will be His witness in all the earth. How does the Holy Spirit fill us up? Luke 11:13 gives us the answer, that the Father will give generously the Holy Spirit to those who ask. Therefore, let us pray in reverence of God, let us seek God, and let us see His Kingdom come and His will be done.
