The "Power" Of Prayer 11/16/2024

 Good Morning,

Oh how good this hot cup of Door County Mistletoe Mocha Coffee tastes on this cold frosty morning. 

Hebrews 4;16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need. 


We are still in the deep freeze in our part of the world and my heart goes out to those folks who had to battle a power outage at the same time. I was told about a home where the electricity was restored and after an hour of the furnace running, it was still very cold inside the home. It will take a few hours for the home to reach a normal temperature. 

Earlier yesterday, I was speaking with a man who had been through quite an ordeal over the last few days. The cold was the final straw for him and he was at the end of his rope. As he and I prayed for the electricity to be restored in his home, we also prayed that the Power Of The Holy Spirit would restore his broken heart. This man laid his wife to eternal rest on Saturday night and his home was getting wet due to the power outage. His fireplace could not be lit due to a chimney blockage and it was getting to be more than he could bear. 

I checked back with him later in the afternoon while coming home from work and it was a whole different man. He was cheerful, and looking forward to the home heating up and a hot shower later. The electrical power was back on and so was the Power from above. It seems that one of the guys from our church was delivering a generator to the other man's home. And after all was said and done the generator wasn't needed. The electricity had just come on.  What was really needed was a visit from a guy who cares and the support from Above.  The Power was turned on and it isn't the electrical type I am talking about. The Holy Spirit made a house call right to the heart of my friend. 

God is good.
