Is Prayer Really Necessary? : Prayer Note # 4





     Dutch Sheets shares with us, “The real question is: Does a sovereign, all-powerful God need our involvement or not? 

     Is prayer really necessary? If so, why?


     I believe it is necessary. Our prayers can bring revival. 

     They can bring healing. We can change a nation. Strongholds can come down when and because we pray. I agree with E.M.Bounds when he said:


     ‘God shapes the world by prayer. The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil….The prayers of God’s saints are the capital stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon earth. God conditions the very life and prosperity of His cause on prayer.’


     I couldn’t agree more—and want to share with you why I believe this is so. If you concur with me, you’ll pray more. 

     You will most likely pray with greater faith, too.”


“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.” Ps. 34:15 NKJV

I’d like to encourage you to share these “Notes” with others…If you’ll keep a “file” of them, you can refer to them, and send them on to others. We all need this information that Dutch Sheets is sharing with us. They have been posts on my blog, so you can look them up anytime in the PAGES.
