Christy Johnson - I've Got the Upper Hand

The church is so powerful because it is through our unity that we get to bombard hell with the power and the authority the Lord has given us to overcome strongholds. When Peter was in prison the church prayed very earnestly for him and although they were uncertain of what was gonna happen they were going to pray and believe and trust that God will come through. Prayer moves through time and space and moves through all natural boundaries so that God can meet His super with our natural.Here are some reasons as to why we pray together: We pray when there is nothing else we can do in the natural We pray so that we can carry each other's burdens We pray so that we can attack the problem before it attacks us.We might have to keep contending and we might have to keep pursuing Him but we intercede until He intervenes. Keep praying because we could be one prayer away from praying the walls down. Most people lust after the picture of the promise but want nothing to do with the process of what it takes to get to that place, so let's let the power of prayer transform us today!Application - Do you have a hard time praying both by yourself and corporately? How can you begin to build up a habit of prayer in your life?Prayer - Father help me stay persistent in prayer. Let me see how incredibly powerful the weapon of prayer is and show me how to wield it consistently in my life. I long to pray with power and authority because as children of God, prayer needs to be our source! In Jesus name, Amen.
