Power Of Jesus' Prayers

 Key Scripture: “I’ve prayed for you, that your faith would not fail.”  Luke 22:32

Power Point:

     Were you aware that heaven was busy on your behalf while you were sleeping?  Did you know that Jesus has already anticipated your needs for today and has set His provision in motion toward you?  If Jesus prayed for Peter’s faith to not fail, do you not suppose He is praying for your faith as well? Do you not think that He is even more interested in the strength of your faith than you are?

     Why?  Because He’s the one who gave birth to your faith, and He intends to finish it well.  He is stewarding all the power of heaven on your behalf today because He promised He would. He is intent on blessing you.  He is intent on the Holy Spirit releasing revelation to you. He is intent on saying “Yes” to all your requests. 

     We all have low times when our faith is being tested. But that’s the point isn’t it? When we are believing for something from the Someone who is the rewarder of our faith, then that faith will be tested, “until”, the answer comes.  If you think about  it, Jesus knew that Peter was going to deny Him, even as He offered him the cup and the bread at His last supper with Him. He offered him forgiveness before he even needed it. He offered him unconditional love before the betrayal even though He was well aware that Peter was about to fall short in the faith department, and instead of condemning him, He prayed for him.

     He does that for us too, Beloved. He has already prepared the way for your day.  He has already loaded it down with BENEFITS!  He’s already praying that your faith will not fail. He’s already ready, willing and able.

     When you awoke this morning, Jesus’s prayers were circling around you.

Throughout the day, throughout every test, Jesus is surrounding you with His thoughts and His provisions.  Tonight when you lay your weary head on your pillow, He’s still enfolding you in His arms, and speaking life over you and to you. He’s intent on bringing your life to a flourishing finish.  What He has begun, He will complete, with a flourish.

    Don’t give up on yourself and Beloved, definitely do NOT give up on Jesus.  Remember Peter?  Jesus knows what you’re thinking and He loves you anyway.  He’s even promised a blessing following the blunder He sees in your future. He'll work it out for good, and, He’ll use it to strengthen you and your brothers and sisters in Christ.

     Isn’t grace amazing?

Power Thought:
