Day 3 of 10 Days Of Prayer
By: D. Karl Thomas
Pray (merriam-webster)
: to speak to God especially in order to give thanks or to ask for something
: to hope or wish very much for something to happen
: to seriously ask (someone) to do something
Pray:— 4336 proseúxomai (from 4314 /prós, “towards, exchange” and 2172/euxomai, “to wish, pray”) – properly, to exchange wishes; pray – literally, to interact with the Lord by switching human wishes (ideas) for His wishes as He imparts faith (“divine persuasion”).
My Definition:
Prayer is constantly ABIDINGin Him and ASKINGfor the things He reveals to come into manifestation with great ASSURANCEthat it will come to pass because you have AUTHORITYin His Name to execute each of His ASSIGNMENTS.
“God does nothing on earth except in response to believing prayer.” John Wesley
I love this story about Elijah confronting the prophets of Baal. The people really didn’t know what to do.
1 Kings 18:24 “Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire — he is God.” Then all the people said, “What you say is good.”
People were saying that they would be willing to follow the God who shows up! So Elijah prays for God to come in power.
1 Kings 18:37“Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
He is the Lord who hears and answers prayer. He is looking for people to partner with right now.
James 5:16-18“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.”
Psalm 34:15 “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.”

I love the idea of exchanging wishes with God! I’ll be praying today.
Thank you Lord that your ears are open to our cry and that you are a God who answers prayer!
I ask for some suddenlies today both for Impact London and Impact Bridgewater; for many souls to suddenly come into the kingdom, for many healings to suddenly take place!
Our God is eager to partner with us. Let’s get praying for London and the whole region to be filled with His glory!
Father, we desire to make your praise glorious and that Your Name be exalted in our homes, in this city and in our land. We declare that You will be known through explainable manifestations of Your power to heal, restore and provide in the small and the great things that people are living in. In Jesus name – the one and only name above all things that can be named!
I pray that the glory of God will fill London, Bridgewater , and the Castlefield area of Toronto.
There will be a tangible manifestation of this glory, in Jesus name!
God we thank you that seeing eyes and hearing ears come from you. We pray that you give us eyes to see what needs to be manifest, and ears to hear what our part is to accomplish what is necessary for our generation.
Thank you God that you have not left us as orphans and we are comforted in knowing we partner with you to see your kingdom come.
This one thing I know: God is on my side! —Psalm 56:9 TPT
Father, thank you that You are the God who sees; You are the God who hears, and You are the God who delights in the praises of Your people.
We love You, Lord, and we lift our collective voices and declare—Let Your kingdom come into greater manifestation here and now as we proclaim the name of Jesus and walk in His authority!
I love that God is willing to put His reputation on the line as the God who hears and answers by fire! Father, thank you for answers to prayer, so big and audacious that people know You are in town!
Father, you are the God that answers prayer and you say “there is a people while they are yet speaking I will have heard and while they are yet calling I will have answered.
We pray that may we see an abundance of healing, success and the manifestation of the supernatural as we are seeking your face during this period.
Thank you that our prayers are already answered.
I am encouraged by Pastor Karl’s definition .
Whatever God reveals, we can be assured that He will bring it to pass . He doesn’t change His mind and we can trust Him!
Thank you Father that whatsoever You reveal will come to pass and we wait in expectation to see your great plan be established through us, your servants , in Jesus mighty Name!!
The Lord is long suffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving Iniquity and transgression Numbers 14:8. I pray Lord that Your will ,will be done in every life in this City of London.Reign Lord Jesus reign.
We can learn so much from our interactions with God, prayer is our pathway to him and from him to us
