Releasing the River of Power: Prayer Note #95

  Dutch Sheets asks this question: “Why did it take Jesus Three hours in the Garden of Gethsemane to break through?

 

   Why didn’t the angels come immediately and comfort Him? Surely God was not holding out on this righteous, sinless man!

 

   Power was being released in the spirit to cause the breakthrough. 

   I am not speaking to you about vain repetition.

 

    I am not talking about asking God again and again and again. I am talking about understanding the ways and principles of God enough to know how to release the river in order to give birth to things out of your spiritual womb.  

   When we intercede, cooperating with the Spirit of God, it releases Him to go out from us and hover over a situation, releasing His life-birthing energies until that which we are asking for comes forth. 

   [Sheets questions why it took so long for God to heal the cyst on his wife’s ovary. He could see it as happening gradually, over time.]

 

   Power was being released in the realm of the spirit and was accomplishing something physically inside of her. Every day when that power was released, it was destroying the cyst just a little bit more..and more…and more” 

   Eph. 3:20, 21 “Now to him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and forever. Amen”  

Eph. 3:20, 21 says He has enough power to do more than we can ask or think with more added to that—more than more than.  

   So why are we often deficient?”

[Father, help us to trust you in what You're doing on behalf of what we are praying for, and are believing is in accordance with Your will.]

Today’s treasure truth #15: If you are “born again”, you are casting all your cares on Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7

Our thought for today:  The tragedy of today is un-prayed prayer.

Charles Stanley: "In the birth of Jesus Christ, we celebrate the fullest picture of God the world ever received. He came to earth as a baby grew to be a man who ate, walked, and walked, just as you and I do. By the life He lived He revealed the hert of our gracious and loving Father." [from Intouch, their Dec. magazine issue.]
