Proverbs 21:1
The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.
Ps. 46: 10- “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
Mark 11:24-25
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received[c] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[d]
Paul says, "The God to whom we pray is one awesome God. And He can do so much more than we can imagine!" Which leads us to the kind of prayer that I learned to pray that night in the arena – the "blow the lid off" prayer. It's for those situations where the Holy Spirit seems to say, "I have more for you, much more." I'm convinced that we often are under-living because we're under- praying. We are praying under the mighty thing that God really wants to do.
So for your family, for your ministry, for that unreachable person, for that relationship, for that huge need, for that mission impossible – as the Spirit leads, pray something like this, "Father, if anyone other than you is holding a lid on what's happening here, blow the lid off in Jesus' Name." Now, that kind of God-sized faith may unlock a God-sized answer that will not only blow the lid off – it will blow you away! Ron Hutchcraft
The only One who truly loves the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, and it is He who has “poured out in our hearts” the very “love of God” (Romans 5:5). Whenever the Holy Spirit sees an opportunity to glorify Jesus through you, He will take your entire being and set you ablaze with glowing devotion to Jesus Christ. Oswald Chambers July 2
