Get ready to have your faith strengthened! Today, I am sharing a powerful testimony of bold prayers and big answers! Warning! This will encourage you.
Several months ago, social media became the engine God used to ignite His people to pray for Pastor Robert Morris (Gateway Church). In what could have been his last moments, Pastor Robert asked his wife to use social media to ask people to pray for him. Hours later, I saw reports of churches around the world holding prayer meetings for this man of God.
CBN reported: More than 290,000 people joined a live prayer for Morris Monday night and now the pastor is in stable condition. “We’ve had prayer going on all through the night and it has made a world of difference as we’ve battled in the spirit realm,” Todd Lane, Lead Executive Senior pastor at Gateway, said. “Many people have been praying for the last 24 to 48 hours.”
In this video, Pastor Morris tells about his life versus death experience. You will be AMAZED by the goodness of God expressed to him and how prayer was critical to this victory in his life. (Click here to watch the video on YouTube)
What stood out to you in this remarkable testimony of God’s faithfulness and the activation of his earthly army of intercessors?
God keeps impressing this truth into my heart. “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Pastor Morris experienced great trouble. God’s Spirit led him to ask for prayer because God had a plan for him beyond this trouble. God already planned to overcome this situation.
Is God inspiring you to ask for prayer?
My prayer for us:
Almighty God, thank You for strengthening our faith. Thank You for letting us see the reality of Your goodness expressed toward Pastor Robert Morris. Empower us to express this renewed faith in fervent prayer. We resist the heavy burden we often associate with prayer. Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).
Forgive us for when we have been lethargic in prayer. Forgive us for the unbelief that has hindered our prayers.
Let our faith be childlike. Let prayer flow out of us as naturally as our own breath.
We desire to be BOLD and courageous in our asking for what You say is ours.
Let the eyes of our hearts be flooded with light so that we know when and what to pray. We desire to be filled with new levels wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You (Ephesians 1:17).
In Jesus, I pray.
Amen
Matthew 11:28-30 The Passion Translation

Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
