Prayer Saves Lives!

You, yes you, can have a direct impact on the lives of Hurricane Florence victims. You can access this power of help, restoration and restitution through prayer.

“The most comfortable visitations, which God hath sent men from above, have taken especially the times of prayer as their most natural opportunities” Richard Hooker

The greatest moments of comfort and peace in the Bible are found while someone was praying. Prayer is our spiritual and metaphysical connection to God. Prayer can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time. It only takes one to pray, but all can benefit from it.

“Prayer is that which we always have in our power to bestow, and they never in theirs to refuse.” (Richard Hooker)

So pray. Now!

“True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God; it is not the utterance of words. It is not alone the feeling of desires; it is the advance of the desires to God, the spiritual approach of our nature towards the Lord our God. True prayer is not a mere mental exercise, nor a vocal performance, but it is far deeper than that—it is spiritual commerce with the Creator of heaven and earth” (Charles Spurgeon).

Folks, if there ever was a time for individual and corporate prayer, now is the time.

Look at the power of prayer to save lives. Paul and his company, while in Asia, encounter such troubles as that they were, “pressed out of measure, above strength” and had the “the sentence of death in ourselves”. For his rescue and salvation, Paul credits God, who “raiseth the dead” and the corporate prayer of the Corinthians!

“For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf (1 Corinthians 1:8-11).

God and corporate prayer overcame exhaustion, despair, and death.

Pray for the victims of Hurricane Florence. Pray continuously for their recovery, restitution and rectitude.

Prayer works.
