Prayer is a privilege
Prayer is a privilege. It is a powerful tool. Without it you will be a foolish
worker in the fields of the dead. Pray and ask the Lord of the harvest to
raise the dead to life. Bend your knees in fellowship with your Lord. Let Him
wash you in His presence and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Prayer is where
you meet Him. Prayer is where you are shaped. Pray.

wow.. powerful.. now i see the power of prayer.. we can actually influence
God in prayer! Look at 2 Kings 20:1-7. King Hezekiah was told by the prophet
Amoz that he should set his house in order because he was surely going to
die (v. 1). Hezekiah prayed earnestly (v. 2,3). The Lord heard his prayers and
said, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you.
On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD. And I will add
fifteen years to your life" (v. 5).
Hezekiah's prayer made a difference. That is why you, as a Christian, can be an
effective witness, because you have influence with God and because you can ask
God to save. Prayer is a vital part of witnessing.
spiritual work need spiritual help.. evangelism is doing spiritual work! we can
ask God for spiritual help to soften the hearts of people that we can't do!
gonna make use of prayer from now onwards!

anyway just spent my quiet time at John 18.. the Pilate don't even trust the
Jews because of the life they living.. but the Pilate trusted Jesus' words!
Why? because Jesus live a sinless life.. what i can learn and apply from here
is that people trust your words through your life.. if they don't trust your words,
examine our life, are we living the way God wants us to be! :D
got to go now.. meet zijie :D pray for spiritual breakthrough in zijie's life!
