“Pray without ceasing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:17
When we pray, its perfectly okay to pray for someone over and over again. Yes, that means one, two, three, four times or more. It really doesn’t matter.
The key is that we must never go back to God and say it didn’t work. The problem is not on God’s end of the line. God is faithful and when you pray according to His will, not yours, He hears you.
The issue comes down to ‘receiving’ the answer if there is no manifestation. There is an issue on the receiving end.
So keep going. Keep believing. Keep asking God. If you are able in the situation you are praying about, ask God what the hangup is.
Keep Praying No Matter What
Don’t let the devil stop you. Take a run at him again!
I like to bring up Scripture when discussing the Word of God. Take a look at Mark 8:22-26. This is the story about the blind man. Notice how even Jesus had to pray a few times until the healing came?
It’s time to stir up our faith and believe God that He is faithful and hears our prayers. As Jesus said in Mark 11:20-25, we must believe we’ve received the answer when we pray before we have it physically manifested!
As you think about how awesome God is and the fact that He has an answer when you pray, you’ll get fired up and excited. Your belief in God will go to all new heights.
Believing God Makes a Difference
Sometimes if you are praying for someone, you are where you need to be but they are not. They just can’t seem to get over the hill or mountain of unbelief.
That’s okay. Stick with them.
It might be a good idea to start out the prayer by exalting God. He is always worthy of praise and glory, but by beginning this way, we take our eyes off the problem and place them on God.
He is much bigger than any problem!
Pray and Pray Again
By structuring your prayer this way it will strengthen your faith and the faith of the person you are praying for. Then this time when you pray, there is dynamic power created and sometimes an instant manifestation.
I’ve heard of a woman who asked for prayer for her feet. When the minister prayed for her only one foot was healed. Some asked why God would only heal one foot.
The truth is He healed both!
If you ever encounter this simply keep praying until the manifestation comes.
If you can move the enemy only one inch then you have the ability through praying to move him a whole mile!
