What is praying in faith? It is knowing that God can give you what you request, and that you’ll know God will answer long before the answer comes. Elmer Towns

To this day I tell young people at Liberty University, don’t even think about marrying someone you can’t pray with. As a matter of fact, don’t even go out with that person if you can’t pray together on your date. Elmer Towns

When you understand How God Answers Prayer, then you realize prayer is all about trusting your heavenly Father. You must trust Him to answer what is best for you…how it’s best for you…and when it’s best for you. Elmer Towns
Reflection on 2 Corinthians 12:11-21
Scripture
When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did signs and wonders and miracles among you.
Observation
Paul is not inferior to the so-called “super apostles”, even though he is nothing at all. Paul proved his credentials as an apostle when he was with them by performing many signs and wonders.
Paul will visit Corinth a third time, and he will not be a burden to them. Some people claim he was tricking them. Paul asserts that everything he does is to strengthen them.
Pail is afraid that when he comes, he will find them engaging in the same fleshly behaviour and that they have not repented of their sexual immorality.
Application
One of the generally accepted signs of apostolic grace is the gift of miracles. Here, Paul says that he performed signs, wonders and miracles in Corinth.
Having said that, signs, wonders and miracles should not be seen as the exclusive domain of apostles. These are things that every child of God should experience as the normal christian life.
What would a life of supernatural gifts look like?
Firstly, we must always have the same attitude of Christ. He did these things patiently. Humility and devotion to Christ alone are the true marks of the christian.
Secondly, we must always walk in submission and obedience to Christ. God will only give us the power that we can handle in submission to Him. We seek the Giver not the gifts.
The core issue is this: Can I be trusted with signs and wonders?
Prayer
Lord, please help me to submit myself entirely to you. May the gifts of your Spirit always be signs of your kingdom, pointing others to Christ. Amen.
Quote for the Day
An unrestrained tongue is a demonic playground because demons love to talk, especially during deliverance sessions. They will make it seem as though the person needs to share past experiences or to have someone listen to him. Such tactics are an attempt to get the minister to function more as a counsellor (demons enjoy counselling sessions) rather than in the boldness of kingdom deliverance. Alexander Pagani

Quote for the Day
Through our words, we give demons legal access to our lives! If our confession is negative, full of worry, evil, unwholesome, etc., we will open wide the doors to demonic spirits that can only gain access if we give them permission. Words give demons power! But the great news is that same way our words open the door, our words can also close the door and deny demons entry if we speak those things that are true, just, and lovely, as Philippians 4:8 instructs. When you change your confession, you’ll see the devil flee! Alexander Pagani

What distinguishes mankind from the rest of God’s creation is our ability to speak intelligently. This privileged ability to communicate verbally allows us to expand and establish God’s kingdom on the earth. Alexander Pagani
