TEARS AND PRAYERSSpeaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: When with tears you make your praises and petitions known through prayers, God will bless your life. God brings miracles in your life through His presence. When Jesus was in this world, His very presence brought healing to the people. Everyone whom He touched was healed and so also whoever touched Him was also healed. Today, you also can touch the Lord through your prayers with a contrite spirit. When with tears in your eyes, you make your praises and petitions known through prayers He will grant you the desired miracles that you have been yearning for in your life. Just cry saying, “This is the time Lord! You are close by my side. Come into me. Touch and grant me your divine healing. Wipe away my tears. I will not leave You unless you touch me.”
When Jacob prayed with tears, the presence of God descended so much so that Jacob locked God within him. God could not move because the tears of Jacob united them. God begged Jacob saying, “Leave me Jacob! Throughout the night you have been clinging on to Me with tears. The daylight is coming and I have to leave. I will now bless, grant a new name and prosper you.”
In the same way, you can draw near God and touch Him through your prayers with tears and receive His blessings. I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them. (Hosea 11:4).
Cry out today. Lock God and receive your blessings through your fervent prayers. The presence of God alone could bring miracles in your life. "For where two or three are gathered together in God’s (My) name, He is (I am) there in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
When does God answer your prayers?
Anytime you call upon His name.
"For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the LORD our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?” (Deuteronomy 4:7).
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' (Isaiah 58:9).
When you cry out for help from God, He will answer, “My child! Why are you crying? I am right here by your side. What do you want me to do for you.”
Anytime you send your petition up He comes down to your aid.
Prayer:
Almighty God,
Listen to my prayer and remember my tears. Make me glad according to the days I have seen sorrow and fulfill the desires of my heart this day. I cast all my burden at Your feet knowing that You alone care for me. In Your immense love, grace and mercy perform mighty miracles in my life today.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen. |
