Just Praying is for Lazy People
I learned a very important lesson in my life and that was just because you pray doesn’t mean thats all you have to do. When I pray for a certain situation I have something I like to say. I pray, God bring the super- to the – natural. What this means is that if I push and do what I am suppose to do in the natural, that I believe God will come down and bring the super!
Sometimes people just pray and sit back and wait for God to answer. As if God is a genie just waiting to grant our wishes.
I really want to see miracles and all that good stuff. I want to see God break thru in ways that I havent even thought about.
What about this situation. Someone comes up to you and says “hey can you keep me in prayer”… you say yes and walk away…. WHY DONT YOU PRAY THERE! This is something I have been challenged with personally. I always would say yes of course I will… And you know what sometimes things come up and I forget! You…We need to take action and do the natural so that we can see God bring the supernatural!! What if that is all that is holding back the biggest and greatest move of God in history! What is the thing you have been praying for is right on the thresh hold of being answered.. but God wants you to take action!
One testimony. At work this month I was believing God for a breakthrough. I was praying for new clients and new business. I like to consider myself a hard worker, but this month i pushed harder then I have ever pushed and just pressed in. God came down and blessed me in such a way, that I made more this month then I have ever made in a month in my entire life! Now you may say that is just because you worked harder… Well in part yes.. but there were clients who came to me and spent money with me who i didnt really think would. When you in a career, you know the way business is. You know the ups and the downs and you know when something out of the ordinary happens. I know God came down and brought the super to my natural.
I say all of that to get to this. We need to take action as christians. Not jut sit back and pray and hope something happens. We need to rise up and be the men and woman of God were called to be. Is someone sick around you, dont say you will keep them in your prayers but take action! Are you believing God to do something great? What will you do?
