152 days until the Lilburn, GA, USA Revival Conference
The fourth essential characteristic of mountain-moving prayer is it needs to be fearless praying. If were going to see miracles, were talking about something only God can do. If we want to see in this nation the release of supernatural power that can change what voting cannot change, what councils cannot change, what committees cannot change, it can only come by Gods intervention. And if thats true, there must be fearless prayer
prayer that comes to God expecting Him to do something
God is more willing to answer prayer than we are to ask Him. He doesnt want us to approach Him hesitatingly, as if we were beggars, or as if we were unworthy, but rather with confidence and boldness. We arent coming in our own righteousness, but in the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Having therefore, brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.... (Hebrews 10:19-22).
If ever there was a time when the people of God need to lie prostrate before the Lord and pray with fearlessness, with boldness, with anticipation, with excitement, with expectancy, this is the time!
Little puny prayers that we lift up while hopping out of bed or driving down the expressway in the morning wont get the job done. God is not going to change a life or change a nation with that kind of praying. I know the excuse people give: You can pray anywhere. Sure you can, but you wont move mountains by praying on the expressway! The kind of prayer that approaches God is one expecting Him to do something and not giving up until it happens.
How many times have you said to God, Lord, heres what You said Youd do. I am not giving up until You do it. Ill keep sending it back up to You until the answer comes pouring out of heaven, just like I ask. Thats fearless praying! -Charles Stanley
