We are living in an hour of power and yet most of us don’t have a clue about it. Nothing breaks my heart more than having a brother or sister ask me for prayer and as soon as I am done, they open their lips to let loose with doubt, or to say something opposite of what we just finished praying for.
So far I have maintained, but I have to be honest, it takes every ounce of self-control not to pounce on them in love. I just want to push those silly words right back into their mouths. For now that’s just a visual I get in my head while I am standing there trying to fathom what they don’t know about the power of prayer. This is usually when I am gently reminded, I once walked in that place of doubt too. Now it is my responsibility to stand in the gap holding up their little faith by adding to it more faith and let the Lord do what He does best.
