Love you all, praying for you… 
 
I just love God’s Word.  It’s simple.  James 5:16 – Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so you may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  What is prayer?  A petition, a request before God.  Something that you cannot do on your own, you need His help.  He is the only One who can do it, or He can do it infinitely better than you can.  What kind of prayer? Effective prayer – not misguided, the prayers that are effective are the prayers He wants you to pray, because it’s what He wants to do.  These prayers are not for personal gain or self-indulgence, these are prayers directed by the Holy Spirit – to join with the move of God on the earth.  And once effective (meaning God-directed), then they are fervent (Energeo) active, boiling hot, ardent, earnest, excited, animated, glowing, vehement. What God directs you to pray do it with all the energy He gives you.  And keep doing it!  These are the kind of prayers - but it also depends on who’s praying them.  The fervent effectual prayers of the righteous man (male and female) availeth much.  What is righteous?  Right Standing (in Christ) Right Doing (What he tells you) and Quick Repenting (and turning, if you make an unrighteous choice).  These prayers by these people – God said they avail much.  They accomplish much!  They make a difference – they make things happen.  They contribute, they play a part, an important part.  Availeth – to profit – to turn to advantage.  To assist or profit, to affect the object or bring to a successful conclusion, to be of great use or advantage, to have strength force or efficacy sufficient to accomplish the object.  They bring an advantage toward success.  If there ever was a time to pray – it is now.  God is joining together hundreds and thousands across this country – to pray.  If there ever was a time to pray, it’s now.  If there ever was a time to be effective in what you pray (to seek what is on God’s Heart, the righteous judge and the merciful Savior) it’s now.  If there was ever a time to be fervent – with all the strength God’s grace will give, it’s now.  If there ever was a time to be righteous – to choose holiness, not compromise, it’s now.  If there ever was a time to call on the Name of the LORD, it’s now.  Praying that you will simply pray.  That it will be what God tells you to pray – what is on his heart for this nation – the resolution He has ordained, that you will be effective by the Holy Spirit, that you will be fervent and undeterred, that you will be righteous in thought, word and deed. That your prayers which are His prayers – would avail much, would accomplish much, would bring to success everything God has in His heart to do, in this nation, and in the world, in this generation. 
 
Love you all,
