Wednesday Devotional - June 25

The power of prayer. All of you are familiar with Jesus verse about moving a mountain.
MATTHEW 17:20 "So Jesus said to them, "..... for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING will be impossible for you."
This devotional will concentrate on the power of prayer, the power of the spoken Word. Words matter, they are as a two-edged sword. They can make a child's spirits soar, or cut a person to their core. Count your words carefully, but never spare them when confessing Jesus. Should your words bring a wanderer back to Christ, you will be blessed.
JAMES 5:20 says "let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death AND cover a multitude of sins."
I don't know about you, but I sure would like to be able to cover a multitude of my sins. I picture standing before God on Judgement Day and I have to listen to my sins listed; the mean things I have said or done opposed to the kind things I have said and done; BUT first I hear - "you saved this person's soul so we have washed away all the sins on page one." OKAY, so that may be rather loafty thinking, but I'm always a person who is filled with hope.
Because I am a person of hope, I will leave you with one more verse, one that is positive. One that gives you rightful hope and trust that our Lord hears your prayers - they are never in vain.
JOHN 14:13 "And wh**ever you ask in my name, that I will do, that my Father may be glorified in the Son."
MATTHEW 17:20 "So Jesus said to them, "..... for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING will be impossible for you."

From the hymn Sweet Hour Of Prayer:
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief .....

Called a prayer partner, we keep it before Him. Praise the Lord.
