--A Message from Jesus

It's a law of My Spirit that your prayers have an effect; they move My hand and they go to work in the lives of those you pray for.

Prayer shows your faith in Me--faith that I will bring the solutions, show you the way, work in people's lives, or even do the impossible when necessary. It also shows that you realize you need Me and are depending on Me, and this pleases Me greatly.

Prayer is the means by which I give you My blessings. I work through both your spoken prayers and the unspoken prayers of your heart, but when you put your prayer into words, this is an even greater manifestation of your faith. This glorifies Me and acknowledges that I am the One who performs miracles, supplies, protects, and guides you.

When you pray, you are operating in the realm of faith, where miracles are born. Just little old you praying and asking Me to do something is very powerful. You don't have to feel that power. It's not the feeling that matters, it's the spirit of prayer that is powerful, supernatural.

Prayers always have an effect. When you pray, things happen in the spirit world, and because of that, things happen on earth. The minute you pray, we connect in the spirit and I begin to do the work that only I can, whether you see the answer right away or not. I may not always give you the answer that you ask for or expect, but I promise to answer according to what I know is best. I respect your prayers and have committed Myself to answer every one.

This is a law of the spirit: When you pray, you begin the spiritual process and set off a chain reaction of events. But if you don't pray, those things can't happen. The more you pray about things, the more I can work for you.
