"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Matthew 21:22
Prayer is power through faith. Praise God for an answered prayer. We prayed for specific names of people, and all of them came on the launching of Shine cell ministry last week. As a result, some of them have decided to study the Bible, the rest are undecided yet all are willing to join the monthly cell fellowship. Satan was not happy; he caused discouragement and cast away confidence. The night before the big day came, I was so exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, as Psalm 120:1 says "I took my troubles to the Lord,...and He answered my prayer"(NLT). God’s sustaining grace gives me the energy to do what He wants me to do, even amid a difficult situation that we are currently facing with one of the disciples. We hoped for at least one person to study the Bible among the 10 who came, yet God gave us three! By His grace through faith, the power of prayer prevails.
