the power of a praying people
What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more
What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates
Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way
And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
Going to A chrstian School I'm constantly Sorruonded by God. and THe realization of the power of a praying people, and when that lacking of a power comes in. I constantly have heard..."We need a spirtual revival" and "why isn't God working?!" I guess, 'I've come to the point where I'm at a Question with my self. why is it so hard to pray for an hour and a half?! I mean, this is GOD OF THE UNIVERSE! and I can't talk to him for more than an hour? what's wrong with me? I just don't understand myself.
THE POWER OF A PRAYING PEOPLE. It's so amazing the difference between something that is FOUNDED something that Is BASED on prayer. and something that Prayer was an after thought and another thing that Prayer isn't metioned or done. Guess which one God shows up at. it's amazing How God moves when people pray. Ask and you will recieve. PRAYING, yea that's asking. so translation into Jessi's mind: Don't complain that God isn't doing anything in your life when you don't pray. and I mean intense prayer...not "oh God holy art thou..." and a billion other words I can't say and would butcher if I attempted to spell.
I think I'll go on what I THINK prayer is and what it's not. like I said before prayer isn't a bunch of rehearsed lines! that ticks me off so much. THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE isn't gonna care if you pray with the right phrases or not. he just wants that intamate relationship with you. he doesn't care if you use big ole' words like....never mind...lol. can't spell. but I'm not even joking. do you know how to you tell if you have an intamate relationship with God?! If you can use bad grammar with Him! Lol!
WHy is America so scared to pray?! I just don't get it. GOD IS SO AMAZING! and half of the CHRISTIANS of america don't realize that! because why?! they don't pray! HELLO! sorry...I'm sick sooo freakin sick...of lame-o prayer that is just done for the "I'm holier than you" thing. when it DOESN'T EVEN MATTER AT ALL! because God doesn't care. God wants your heart and that's all. *shuts up before I really go off*
