THE PRAYER ROOM
by Minister Sherry Ivy
The Prayer Room is a place we can go and get what we need from the Lord. All we have to do is come in and let our requests be made known unto God. "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6)
Everyday we are faced with some kind of troubles, we have troubles in our home, troubles on our job, troubles in our church. When these things start happening to us we need to come in the Prayer Room and cry out to Jesus and He will deliver us out of all our troubles. "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles." (Psalm 34:17)
Sometime the pain from being sexual abused, child abused, a sickness or the death of a love one can be so sharp that it leaves our bodies scared, hurting and wounded. It also makes us feel like this is a symptom that cannot be healed. It's in these times we have to come in the Prayer Room and release that pain to Jesus and He will heal us. "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 30:17) He can also heal us from any diseases that's going on in our body. "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. (Psalm 103:3)
If you caught your spouse cheating on you with a so call friend and they ask you to forgive them but you won't except it because of what they did to you. You need to Come in the Prayer Room and ask God to help you forgive them so you can get forgiveness when you do something wrong. " And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26)
There are times in your life when everything seems to be going good, then all of a sudden chaos start happening all around first you receive a letter from I R S saying you owe back taxes, then you get a phone call from the principal telling you your child has been taken to jail for selling drugs. In times like these you need to come in the Prayer Room and look up to Jesus for help. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)
So be encouraged today and always remember when you pray to God in secret He will reward you openly. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to the Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." (Matthew 6:6)
