Reaping the Harvest through the Power of Prayer
“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive” (Matthew 21:22).
The church has seen many miracles and wonders. The church has seen many souls filled with the Holy Ghost. But “thou shalt see greater things than these” (John 1:50). We have entered into the year 2011 with a great expectation of what God is going to do. More than ever before, we are expecting a greater harvest. The power of prayer breaks every yoke, sets those in bondage free, reaches for those whom the world has given up on. Through the power of prayer, God saves the lost, reaches for His prodigal children, heals the sick, and, yes, even raises the dead. There is a greater harvest of souls coming! In this last day, the church will see a greater harvest of souls and many miracles and wonders through the name of Jesus. Through the power of prayer, when we ask and believe, God will do His Work. Through the power of prayer, we will see the “overflow” of souls and miracles.
