TEXT: 1 CHRONICLES 4:10

INTRODUCTION
According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, power is an ability to act or produce an effect, and also a legal or official authority, capacity, and right. What makes prayer powerful is not in the loudness or the beauty of the prayer point but the heart that prays and to whom the prayer is offered.
Most times what we call prayer are lamentations of experience.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ENGAGE THE POWER OF PRAYER?
- It means to pray according to the will of God.
1 John 5:14
KJV:And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
- It also means praying to get results from God.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing
HOW CAN WE ENGAGE THE POWER OF PRAYER?
- By praying fervently from a sincere heart.
James 5:16
KJV:Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
- By praying in the name of Jesus.

SOME BENEFITS OF ENGAGING THE POWER OF PRAYER
- We will be free from the afflictions of this world.
James 5:13
KJV:Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
- We will reign with Christ in heaven.
Revelation 3:21
:To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
CONCLUSION
Finally my bretgren, prayer is a wonderful opportunity God has given to man to access Him. It is also a weapon of warfare against our adversary the devil and a light to navigate against the end time storms.
Our success in life depends on the degree at which we are able to engage the power of prayer with consistency and strong desire to obtain a result of prayer.

It's therefore important for every child of God to always PUSH in the place of prayer ( Pray until something happens).
Thanks for your time!
God bless you!
