How does it differ from a prayer that is not earnest? Who is<br \/>\nrighteous? What kind of power are we talking about?<\/p>\n<p>A righteous person is one who is right with God, doing things God\u2019s way and thinking<br \/>\nGod\u2019s way. He is not a perfect person. He makes mistakes, but He knows that God<br \/>\nhelps him to stay on the right path and do the right things. If he slips, God is there to get<br \/>\nhim back on track. That is what we call grace. Grace is God\u2019s ability released on your<br \/>\nbehalf to do what you can\u2019t do in your own ability, no matter how hard you try..<\/p>\n<p>An earnest prayer is one which is from your heart. You really mean what you are<br \/>\npraying. You expect something to happen as a result of your prayer. When you say<br \/>\nthat you are in earnest about something, it means you are serious about it. Your mind is<br \/>\nfocused and straight on the target, with the intention of hitting the bull\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n<p>This word power here is the word \u201cavail\u201d in the King James Version of the Bible.<br \/>\nIt means to have or exercise force. There are many definitions of force but in<br \/>\nthis instance, force is that which is capable of producing results. It is literally the<br \/>\nword \u201cstrength,\u201d energy which produces action or motion. God\u2019s energy is called power.<br \/>\nHis power is the greatest power in the universe. That, my dear reader, is the power we<br \/>\nhave available to us when we pray. It is God\u2019s power which is working.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why you can get excited about prayer. It is not dull or boring, but packed with the<br \/>\npunch of the power of God.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PRAYER QUOTE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>MY PRAYERS ARE POWERFUL!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earnest Prayer PRAYER SCRIPTURE James 5:16b, Amplified Bible The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
