Praying ALWAYS!

Read: Acts 12:1-16

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. Acts 12: 5

        Peter has no idea what is happening, he thought he saw the vision. Verses 8-9 said,Then the angel said to him (Peter), "put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "wrap your cloak around you and follow me." the angel told hi. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. he thought he was seeing a vision. All the happening was so fast, Peter could not recognize the vision or reality.


         It is the prayer which brings effective power (James 5:16). We don't need to understand ALL, but we pray the things are together for Good to those to whom God has loved, according His purpose. (Romans 8:28) Sometimes, we have to take out our no answer prayer's mind. We may say, "It is so hard or big for God!" But Word of God for today tells us, "Praying Always!" It is your powerful and fruitful life today.


        Anna, a Taiwan girl, visited me for three weeks, I drove her and my servant girl Maria to Mikumi National Park, but we was out of oil, I was driving mile and mile, there were no petrol station. Then my right front tire was cutting off the skin, I discovered that I could not stop the car, we went to crash opposite truck. But I prayed to God to deliver me on time, after I stopped the car, my hearts were grateful Jesus who has done for me or for us. The worse things were not stopping. And then I asked Maria to ask people to help us. She asked and directed me to turn right, I drove so slowly as turtle, then I made right turning. There were Mikumi National Park, my car had various problems. We visited there car parking area, we couldn't get into the park.


         Then I asked Maria to find out where we could fix the car, then she told that she knew and said, "Mikumi downtown!" After that we were going up to Mikumi downtown, Anna told me that you need to know how many minutes we could arrive the town, so I asked Maria again, how long we could arrive town, she told us that she didn't know it. Anna and I decide to turn to Morogoro, our town. But my car finally ran off petrol. We stopped on side of high way. Moreover, I asked Anna to stop any car or truck to help us. Another worse thing, my cell phone battery was dead, I could not read a message for brother Steve and other people. Then I used Maria cell phone to send out messages for help, and her battery was dead too. All our hope had gone, Anna was culture shock so much and she was silent. Until Maria had stopped one truck, one man came and help us, but he did not have any tools to change tire. I was just praying and trust in God. After that another Indian family car stopped, he had the tool to change my spare tire. Praise the Lord! We got the tire. But we didn't have petrol, Anna & I gave all money for buying petrol, then this truck man and Maria went and bought petrol. I was taking pictures for views and my foot, then I sang gospel songs until they returned.


        They got some petrol, this man put into my oil tank, my car could walk, that man and Maria wanted to go to Mikumi National Park, but Anna and I just wanted to go back Morogoro home, I told them that we wanted to return back Morogoro. God is good all the time, we returned to Morogoro town, I drove to Supper market, I went to ATM and took some money for petrol. After that my car just made to petrol station, but not getting petrol way, then I asked to push my car and got a lot petrol.


        The true experience tell us, we need to pray ALWAYS, whatever is good or bad time. Psalm 118:5 said; "I called on the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me."

Prayer is an answer for God who will deliver you in His time, NOT yours.

Praying holy hands which have always worked in the Kingdom of God, NOW are you praying?
