Prayer Manifests in the Physical

Prayer Manifests in the Physical

In this post, I will show how prayer (a spiritual action) can manifest in the physical (it can change our physical reality).

Firstly, I need to clarify or define "prayer"

Prayer

- a petition to God

- an earnest request or wish

- the act or practice of praying to God

At the very end of this post is a video about "Prayer Basics" (You can scroll to the end or click HERE if you would like to watch that video).

Remember that our struggle is not in the physical (flesh and blood) but in the spiritual (see verse below):

Jesus said that whatever we ask for in His name (if we say "Heavenly Father, in Jesus name I pray......) then it will happen.  The verse below clearly states that we should be able to do even greater miracles than Jesus did when He was here!

Everything that Jesus did was requested in the spiritual realm but the change occurred in the physical realm.

Here is the controversial issue - WHATEVER we ask for shall be given to us.  Well, that is not very Christ-like is it?  That would be like - "I want this and I want that."  

The Scripture passage below clarifies that dilemma.

Nobody should seek his own good but rather put others first and help them in their needs.  Selfishness is never constructive or beneficial.

It is very difficult to know exactly how to pray because we often cannot fathom the amazing answers to our prayers that God has planned.  The Holy Spirit intercedes for us and uses the spiritual language with groanings to convey what is truly in our hearts (see Bible verses below).

Also, in the last verse below we see that the answers to prayer are in the physical - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him".  The phrase "in all things" means that we see results/answers both in the physical and spiritual realm. 

In Ephesians chapter 6 where it talks about "Becoming a Christian Soldier," we read the same thing about "praying in the Spirit" (see below).  Prayer really is our most powerful "spiritual weapon."  (click HERE to read "Becoming A Christian Soldier - PRAYER")

Also, notice in the verse above the last part about "always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." - keeping focus on others rather than being selfish.

Answers are not always instantaneous (they can be but not all the time) - we need to pray without ceasing - pray continually (see below).  Plus, being joyful and thankful prevents us from always complaining.

Focusing on joy and on being thankful prevents the downward spiral of depression and despair.  See Scripture in the picture below.

I want to end this post touching on "abundance".  I recently saw a commercial talking about "manifesting abundance."  Well, that is so wrong because abundance that truly satisfies can only come from God.  Multiplication and increase comes from our Heavenly Father and not from the "universe".

Prayer is talking to God and that will mean unimaginable changes in our physical reality.
