Prayer is not limited by time. The prayers of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago are still being answered today. The prayers I pray today can be answered three weeks from today. They’re not limited by time.
Prayer is not limited by space. You can pray and it’s like sending a missile. I can pray all over. I get up tomorrow morning and go into my study and spend 15 minutes in prayer and I pray for missionaries around the world.
Prayer is limitless in its power. People may reject your appeals, reject your arguments or reject you as a person, but they’re totally defenseless against your prayers. They have no defense system. They go straight to the heart.
D.L. Moody, a great pastor, once said, “Every great movement of God can be traced to a single praying, kneeling figure.”
A praying church is a holy church, a committed church. When you pray it makes you sensitive to God and to other people. It sensitizes your life. A praying church is an enthusiastic church. Churches that pray see miracles and that gets people excited. A growing, praying church is a church that sees God act. God acts according to prayer. And churches pray when they see their leaders praying.
