The Prayer Connection
It is easier to do nothing and passively let life throw you some moves before you react or respond to them.
Fewer people understand that through faith you can override what is happening in the natural through God’s power.
Through faith, you can reach out to receive what is eternal and invisible, and allow it to change your visible situation.
“He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your offspring.” (Genesis 28:12-13 WEB)
In Jacob’s dream, he saw angels ascending and descending on a stairway. The stairway connects Heaven and earth so that what is in Heaven can be brought to men here on earth.
When you pray, the angels assigned to you may bring your prayers in the form of golden bowls of fragrant incense up to Heaven, and there they receive God’s command on how to help you here on earth.
“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!” He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”” (John 1:47-51 WEB)
Jesus received a vision of Nathaniel, and this caused Nathaniel to be so amazed. Afterwards, Jesus made reference to Jacob’s dream, suggesting that He Himself is the stairway that connects Heaven and earth.
Truly, Nathaniel went on to see Jesus doing many miracles—healing the sick, casting out demons, and much more. Jesus’ prayers were speedily brought up to the Father in Heaven, while visions and power were brought down to earth as answers to His prayers.
Thanks to Jesus’ finished work at the cross, we have been reconciled to God. The prayer line has been restored. Even we have become stairways that connect Heaven and earth. Angels ascend and descend on us when we pray.
Prayer is intentional and very powerful. Even if you cannot see what is going on, there are many angels gathered and at work, especially when believers pray.
“Then he said to me, Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I have come for your words’ sake. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” (Daniel 10:12-13 WEB)
When Daniel first prayed for understanding from God, his prayers were already heard by Him. God sent the archangel Gabriel to deliver the prophetic word to Daniel, but the spiritual warfare was thick because the devil knew how important the message must have been.
The demon prince called the “prince of the kingdom of Persia” tried to prevent Gabriel from reaching Daniel, but he could not prevail when archangel Michael joined the fight.
Can you imagine that the demon had the ability to delay Gabriel for twenty-one days? Imagine if Daniel had stopped praying on the twentieth day.
Keep on praying until you receive the answers, and until the angel assigned to you comes back with the grace that you need.
There are things unseen that we may not understand fully, but trust in the power of prayer!
God has equipped you with mighty spiritual weapons in Christ so that you can emerge victorious in spiritual warfare.
