God speaks today Saturday | August 10, 2024

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. (Psalm 32:6)
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Do not pray only on the day of crisis

Prayer should not only be used to get us out of trouble, but should saturate everything we do. It should be the flag that leads all our efforts and the element that specifies all the events of our day. Preventive prayer is important in strengthening the foundations of our lives and neutralizing the attacks of the devil. The best time to pray is when everything is well, so that we can prepare for the bad days. We should fill ourselves with vitality and power through prayer, and protect ourselves from the enemy's attacks. Read more...
