God Works through the Prayers of His People: Prayer Note # 7

     “So complete and final was Adam’s authority over the earth that he, not just God, had the ability to give it away to another! Listen to the words of Satan in Luke 4:6, 7 as he tempted Jesus: ‘I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if you worship before me, it shall all be Yours.’

     The part about the domain being handed over to him was true and Jesus knew it…. So complete and final was God’s decision to do things on earth through human beings that it cost God the Incarnation to regain what Adam gave away. He had to become a part of the human race. .. Without question, humans were forever to be God’s link to authority and activity on the earth.

     Here we have, I believe, the reason for the necessity of prayer.”

“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders my be done through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”  Act. 4:29, 30
