This site has many pages available to look at especially if you need various sorts of religious or Christian
information,on everything from "Spiritual Warfare" to the "Da Vinci Code". If you are on this page you are moving ahead at light speed,"prayer" is by far the "best tool in the shed" as a father might say! Prayer is sometimes the hardest thing to do and sometimes the easiest thing to do. It is sometimes the only thing to do! What makes it so special is that it is the highway to God! When God inspires me to do something I am always eager to comply,and this page was no exception! It is my privilage to tell you as either a new Christian or even an elder or pastor that this is where you want to practice and perfect your faith! Although we may never perfect this,if you are a Christian without it your losses will be great, unless God just wants to show complete favor over you.
Prayer is practice of Faith! The pursuit of Faith, The humbleness of Faith,and the extreme power of Faith! and probably a few other things that I may have not mentioned. One thing is for sure if your a prayer warrior evil wants no real part of you!
God wants his children to cry out to him,God wants his children to have an relationship with him,God wants to deliver his children from evil,and God wants so many things for you! You may not even understand the great life God desires to give! One thing stands between his action and inaction that is "Prayer"

"Healing" from the chair to your feet!"
Late one night in early 2005 I watched a man I had known for a short while maybe a year raise up out of a wheelchair and walk! The church we were giving services in had maybe 100 or so members in the room,after a period of prayer by all in the room and the exclamation of healing by our pastor this man raised up out of the chair and began to walk, and even jog somewhat down the isle. Years he had been of being wheelchair bound! Did prayer do it! I would say so! He was not motivated by anything else other than unseen forces as far as myself and others witnessed and if someone thought this was a hoax it was a long drawn out one for very few to see! I had never witnessed him walk in all the time I knew him! "Praise the Lord" We had to ask for healing it didn't just happen. When Moses declared plagues unto Pharoah to free the Jews he was told to declare the coming Plague then stretch forth his staff by faith that God would do as God said he would!

You see God wants to intervene in our lives but it is according to our Faith that he
excercizes his influence. If I make the statement "God this is your word I am asking you to perform it?, I am your follower,I keep your commandments,will you help me O'Father? With this said we realize two things! first he has heard your prayer!
Second his decision to perform it! I may ask for fifty ice cream cones knowing they are bad for me or maybe even not knowing that! God isn't gonna give me a means to ruin myself just because I asked! But if my prayer were genuine and my heart were true to him and I had believed and kept his commands then he says we have what we ask! What I would like to point out is this! His timing is not ours he is an on time God we however are not! If my prayer is for another, God has a time and season for my prayer to be answered.God didn't say I would answer your prayer in 10 minutes or even ten seconds. This is often very hard for Christians to understand, because God is perfect in his decisions and his timing. Some think just because you prayed, you havent yet seen your answer so you become worried. Again his ways and timing are most of the time opposite to what your brain would think of ,as to answering your prayer. I will give you an example,you have a sick young daughter but she is recovering,and you cannot see it because it is a daily slow recovery but it is recovery! you prayed he answered and you thought she would jump up and walk around and say I am better! The fact may have been she was in immediate peril or even slowly dying but God answers with recovery! Not as you would see it but recovery just the same!
