|
<p>God not only commands us to pray; the Bible gives us numerous examples that prayer truly does work.<b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Jonah</b>
|
|
<p>The people of Nineveh, upon hearing of impending judgment by God, fasted and prayed. The Bible says God responded from their prayers:
|
|
<blockquote><p>Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it (<a id="nbi544-si1" onClick="return mV('Jon',3,10);">Jon 3:10</a>).<p></blockquote>
|
|
<p>Because of their prayer of repentance, God spared the city of Nineveh from destruction.
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Moses</b>
|
|
<p>Moses interceded on behalf of his people.
|
|
<blockquote><p>And now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have spoken...Then the Lord said: I have pardoned, according to your word (<a id="nbi544-si2" onClick="return mV('Num',14,17);">Num 14:17</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Moses' prayer was answered and the people were spared the judgment of God.
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Cornelius</b>
|
|
<p>Cornelius, a Gentile, wanted to know the true and living God.
|
|
<blockquote><p>At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly (<a id="nbi544-si3" onClick="return mV('Act',10,'1-2');">Act 10:1-2</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
<p>God heard his prayer and sent Simon Peter to preach the message of Jesus Christ to him.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Prayer Works!</b>
|
|
<p>From the first page of Scripture until the last, it is clear from Scripture that prayer is not just a religious exercise in which we are to go through, prayer works.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Summary</b>
|
|
<p>Prayer works. This is testified throughout Scripture. When people turn to God in prayer He answers them.</p>
