The BIG question, however, is:
You see, we are a weapon in God´s hand: a weapon of prayer! Even so, the activation of this incredible (and powerful) weapon IS BEYOND God´s reach! We are the sole ACTIVATOR of this weapon!
There are MANY things that God WANTS to do… God WANTS to perform miracles and other supernatural interventions… All the while He is waiting for some intercessor (YOU!!!) to pick up the weapon (of prayer) and ACTIVATE DIVINE POWER!
For the dense minded (and hard-headed), I repeat: God CANNOT pray! But if He could, what would His prayer be?
Where do you see God desiring to work and perform? Where is the miracle just shimmering on the edge of reality? Where is there that revival just bubbling below the surface? All of these are examples of how your prayer life would REALLY change if you were to start praying… “Lord, I know you WANT to perform the miracle, but you are WAITING for someone to say SOMETHING!”
Maybe that was the reason why the Angel turned back to talk with Abraham: God WANTED to save Lot but NEEDED someone (you Abraham!) to SAY something!
In reality, we each KNOW what God is “dying” to perform… but we are the ONLY ones that can ACTIVATE the ACTION!
I well understand this short text will rub some of my “friends” the wrong way; they will claim that there are theological errors in the presentation… truthfully, they may be better at words and Biblical doctrine than I am…, but no one can debate what I felt in prayer this morning as the power of this simple thought sprang into ACTION while I was crying out to God… I heard Him say…
…You are the ONLY PRAYER I HAVE! So…
Pray Me into ACTION!
