The Power of Prayer

The power of prayer is amazing! Having a prayer team or a group of people that you can have pray for you when you are in need of specific prayer is one way to insure your prayers are definitely more productive. Intercessory prayer is highly important because it is they type of prayer that focuses on a particular person, or situation through multiple prayer partners praying to help bring about solutions to your needs. 

The following are a few excerpts I've read concerning prayer.

“Intercessory prayer is our most powerful and strategic corporate weapon in spiritual warfare. Prayer has a direct impact on spiritual warfare (Mark 9:29). Prayer provides/assists in the deliverance of others who are undergoing spiritual attack (Luke 22:31-32). Power falls where prayer prevails (Acts 1:14; 2:42; 3:1; 4:31; 6:4; 10:9). Church history is replete with examples. What kind of prayer brings God’s deliverance and power in the midst of spiritual attack? Consistent prayer (Ephesians 6:18a). Intense prayer (Ephesians 6:18b). Strategic prayer (Ephesians 6:18c-20).

The missing ingredient in most Christians’ lives and in most churches is the commitment and regular practice of intercessory prayer. Scripture indicates that consistent, intense, and strategic intercessory prayer – both individual and corporate – will in fact deliver us from the evil one.

The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean people who talk about prayer; nor those who say they believe in prayer; nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time and pray. People simply do not have time to pray, because they have to give up something else to have time for prayer. This something else is important; very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer.”
