The Amazing Power of Prayer

Prayer has Amazing Power  

The Revealing Word states “prayer is the most highly accelerated mind action known. It steps up mental action until one’s consciousness synchronizes with the Christ Mind. It is the language of spirituality.” Theologically, is prayer the foundation of our faith, or is our faith the foundation of prayer? This may sound like a riddle, but it is not. In Glimpses, the author speaks of a “Let it in or Let it out” methodology alternative for prayer. With regard to the idea that prayer is our mind in action, then one could rightfully assume that prayer is both” letting in” the Supreme consciousness of Source, and at the same time, “letting out” our fervent desire to commune with that Source. Our faith allows us to believe in the power of prayer and our prayer time develops and strengthens our faith.

Prayer is possibly the most overlooked source of power in the universe. One could only imagine what divine possibilities might arise if the leaders of our US Congress were to meet in a closed-door session of intensive prayer. What if church and state were not separate? Early in our country’s history, and in the history of Christianity, there was no separation between church and government. Were we more effective then as a society and culture? Could this be at the root cause of our divided political system?

Putting this tedious question aside, let’s return to attempting to clarify the power in prayer. Without a “let it in” and “let it out” system, prayer may not be all that effective. However, when an individual or a group decides to move toward the cyclical pattern of both letting in God’s divine grace and at the same time letting out one’s internal Christ light, extraordinary things begin to happen. An analogy might be our very breath. If we were to breathe in and simply hold our breath, eventually we would expire. And if we decided to simply release our breath, that to would be tantamount to suicide. However, when we breathe in God’s grace and love, and then when we allow such power to activate our Christ spark within, it initiates and automatic response to release into manifestation God’s presence on earth. This may sound a little far-fetched for some, however it is also analogous to the ocean and its rhythm and its tides and it’s moving in and moving out, as part of the “wholeness” of the ocean, without which the ocean would surely die.

Effective , powerful prayer can be accomplished when there is a rhythm and exchange between the son/daughter and his/her Father/Mother God. Without that give-and-take, that cyclical exchange of energy, prayer is impotent. But with an intentional, open and loving communion with Source, amazing miraculous things will take place. I may have come to the garden alone, but in my deepest exchange with Spirit, both Spirit and I are changed, and I leave the garden as a new creation, and God is expressed even more.
