Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
- James 5:16 (NKJV)
Destiny must be birthed first in the spirit before physical manifestations will emerge. Prayer is one of the tools we use to successfully midwife our glorious destinies. It is not a five-minute prayer, but a call to a deeper place of extensive prayer backed by a good understanding of God's will in the scriptures.
This kind of prayer releases so much power. It generates so much power which brings us divine encounters that open us up to instructions from God. It also incapacitates the opposition that would have hindered us from maximizing our new season. Paul said a great and effectual door was open before him, but there were many adversaries (1 Corinthians 16:9). The way we incapacitate the adversaries is by prayer.
This kind of prayer also produces an upward thrust and a breakthrough force. It is the kind of prayer Elijah prayed that made him outrun the Chariots of the king (1 Kings 18:41-46). The kind of power that is released over your destiny through this prayer will bring forth a supernatural shift.
Beloved, God is waiting on you. When you call upon Him through fervent and effective prayers, He hears you and brings your new season to pass. Amen!
