If we pray at all, we expect prayer to be answered.
If that prayer is answered, God has done it; and if God has answered prayer He has performed something outside of the Realm of Reason.
We will have to give up our prayer life utterly, or we will have to believe in Miracles.
I believe in Miracles.
I believe in divine intervention.
I believe that the prayer of Faith reaches God our Father, and when it reaches Him He acts in response to that Faith.
When He acts in response to our Faith, His action is above our reason. It is in the Realm of Miracles.

Prayer and Miracles 12/19 Wednesday Wisdom
You can't have prayers answered without having Miracles performed.
If you deny that Miracles are for this age, you deny the need and the privileges and the benefits of prayer.
The two-fold value of prayer lies first in sitting in His presence, or in direct Fellowship with the Father.
The second benefit is the answer that comes to us. . . .
For God the Father to hear my prayer is equivalent to His answering it. . . .
For God to answer my prayer, regardless of its natures, is a Miracle.

Prayer Channels 12/18 Tuesday Truth
Certain men and women are led to become the prayer channels for a whole congregation.
So few of us, in our busy lives, take time to pray, that the Spirit searches through the congregation for the willing hearts that will deny themselves some of the common pleasures and will be first in the line of prayer instead of last.
On these willing hearts rolls the burden of the entire church. . . .
Force yourself into the prayer life. Regardless of how you feel, drive yourself to prayer. . . .
You are praying to the Father.
You are praying in the Name of Jesus.
You are praying through the Holy Spirit.
Your prayer is based upon the Word.

Dare to Climb 12/17 Monday Meditation
So, let us dare to climb the heights of God.
Let us say without fear, "I am what He says I am."
"He is in me what He says He is."
"I can do, with His ability in me, what He says I can."
--E. W. Kenyon

Right of Way 12/14 Friday Faith
God wasn't any more His [Jesus's] Father than He is ours.
He [Jesus] said, "The Father loveth you even as He loves me."
He was the Son of God.
You are a son of God.
He was Deity.
You are a partaker of the Divine Nature, that is Deity.
He had the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him.
You have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you.
The difference is that Jesus gave the Holy Spirit right of way in a sense of which we have never yet learned.
He took advantage of the God-life within Him in a way we have never yet been able to take advantage of the God-life within us.

Know Your Privileges 12/13 Thursday Thoughts
The more that I study the life of Jesus, I am convinced that He did not exercise divine power in excess of what every intelligent child of God possesses today.
The difference is that Jesus knew what belonged to Him and Jesus used His rights.
We do not know what belongs to us. Not knowing what is ours, we cannot use our rights.
When Jesus cast out demons, He used authority that He has delegated to the church.
He said, "In my Name ye shall cast out demons." . . .
Let me state it again: I am convinced that intelligent children of the Lord could walk in the same life and power and divine liberty as Jesus walked, if they understood their privileges.

Prayer is a Visit 12/12 Wednesday Wisdom
This prayer habit will be born of your own will.
This habit is hard to form for most people. It should never be a duty, for just as we do not enjoy those who visit us because it is their duty, so it is with the Father.
We want those who love us to come because they cannot help it.
Prayer is a visit with the Father.
We should think of it as a rare opportunity.
