YES I FOUND IT!!!
YES I FOUND IT!!! THE REASON WHY WE APPEAR WEAK AND POWERLESS DESPITE OUR PRAYERS PART1
The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”
James 5:16b AMPC
From the above scripture we see that the technology that makes power available to a believer is prayer, I give praise to God that some of us including myself in our generation have pioneered a prayer movement among the young people from our denominations and across the body of Christ, from 12 hours prayers to 48 hours to 72 hours to several days of shut down. My generation is not alien to all these, so the issue here is not whether we pray or not but why are we powerless with our prayers.
I have read about the prayer life of Jesus and the results that followed, same with Elijah , Apostle Paul, well we might say those are Bible guys what about men like Charlse G Finey, D.L Moody, John Knox, Ayo Babalola, Daddy Adeboye and the host of others.
We read and heard about their prayers and the exploits that followed but it appears to me that the prayers of my generation is at best seen on the social media and our pictures and stories.
What is the problem?
As I began to probe into this, I saw something very very profound, I saw that the difference between our prayers and theirs is a word called DISTRACTION
They had less distraction compared to us, but with us, distraction is the definition of our day.
If you break the word distraction into two we will see something like
DIS....... TRACTION
What is Traction? Traction is the support or interest that is needed for something to make progress or succeed
God is our traction.
What happens to us is that satan comes with his agenda which is to
DISCONNECT is from our TRACTION hence we experience what is called DISTRACTION.
There is something about those men of old, when they pray, they are always away from any form of distraction, they stay away from the people, they stay alone.
