Re: POWER of PRAYER- No Matter Which Faith You Follow=GOD is With You
Our Source of Peace
"But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (Psalm 37:11, NKJV).
In a dream, I saw an army that refused to break rank. Despite all the wickedness and cruel violence around them, they were unperturbed. They were going down into the living waters of praise and worship and coming out on the other side of the river with perfect peace and rest. They are the redeemed of the Lord, who have been given a peace that passes all understanding.
Joel saw an army of mighty men and said, "Everyone marches in formation, and they do not break ranks" (Joel 2:7).
God's people will not break rank nor run in fear because they know they are secure under the precious blood of the Lamb. They know that in spite of all the violence and wrath of men, the body of Christ on earth is in excellent health and is growing stronger every day.
While all that is earthly is being shaken, and world governments are spinning out of control, the true church of Christ is solid and unmovable.
The specter of devastating violence and potential destruction has robbed mankind of peace and security. Yet at the same time, God is bringing his people into their greatest hour of rest and safety. While the ungodly cry for peace and safety and never find it, God's chosen are now possessing great peace and perfect security.
God's people who rest in him can say with David the psalmist:
"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive. When their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul, then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 124:2-8)
Today, rest in the peace of knowing our help is in the name of the Lord!

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4
