"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

Ephesians 6:18 NIV


Prayer is not something we apply to only specific moments in life, but something that should be a constant practice in the life of the believer. Believers are called to pray in every circumstance, whether thanksgiving, intercession, supplication or praise. Properly understood, prayer is also a weapon. Prayer aligns us with the thoughts of God, enabling us to effectively defend and protect ourselves from our adversary's attacks.


However, the effectiveness of this weapon is often hindered because we don't pray being led and guided by the Holy Spirit, but by our own fleshly desires. The Spirit led believer yields to God and allows Him to direct our prayers according to His will and purposes. This can only happen when we pray "in the Spirit." This means praying under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit. We know this yielding has occurred when we find ourselves saying, "Father, not my will, but Your will be done in my life." 


Once we embrace this attitude, prayer becomes a powerful weapon. Satan hates a praying Christian who is submitted to the will of God. He knows he cannot defeat a Christian who spends considerable time in prayer. Our adversary becomes nervous when praying Christians learn the secret of a fulfilled life. The secret is to pray under the direction of the Holy Spirit.


Just imagine a trial or test comes your way, and you address that situation with prayer. Someone speaks evil of you and attempts to harm you, and you meet that challenge with Spirit-led prayer. I tell you that there is no defense to Spirit-inspired prayer. Prayer is our greatest weapon!


Yours in Christ,


Bishop Eric A. Lambert, Jr., Pastor

While when a miracle happens is up to God’s perfect timing, we must keep praying for one. We must keep praising God for the good things in our lives now and those to come. Being persistent in prayer will lead to the miracles. 


When we need or want a miracle in our lives, we may not get it because it is not the right time in our lives for us to receive the miracle and blessing in our life. Or, it may be that God does not think it will align with the plans that He has for your life at the current moment, but maybe in the future. It is hard to remember that our life is not under our control, but under God’s control, and He is the one that makes things happen on His own timing, not ours. 


However, there are some things that Christians can do to make sure that we are ready to receive God’s miracles and blessings for us in our lives. We have to have our hearts open to letting God move in the way that He knows best and letting Him give us what He knows is best for us.


In Philippians 4:19, it says “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” This means that God will give you the desires of your heart because He is able to do more than we can ask or even think of, for He is God Almighty. 


Opening your heart to let God move and not placing any expectations on the way you want things to go, is a good way to start. Another way is to be at peace and trust God. We know that God will always provide for us, always protect us, and will never leave us insufficient. 


It is also important to pray to God about your struggles and what you want Him to do in your life. God always knows what we are experiencing, and He always knows what will happen in our life. However, it is important to pray and surrender your situation to God and He will do amazing miracles in your life. Being honest to God about what you are struggling with, how you are feeling, and what miracle you would like in your life will also help draw you closer to God. Of course, you may experience a different miracle than what you thought you would get, but God will always work and move with a purpose. 


Everything you go through and experience in life is for a reason. It has a purpose, and it is to draw you closer to God and learn to trust Him more and more. 


Praying and talking to God, meditating and reading scripture and focusing on how God performed miracles in the Bible, and being at peace with the situation and leaving your heart open to experience anything and everything that God has for you, will have you experiencing wonderful miracles and blessings in your life at the right time and moment.

As Christians, it can be difficult waiting for a miracle to happen in our lives, especially in times when we need a miracle the most. There’s no specific solution to seeing and experiencing miracles in our life. We can’t control when they happen nor do we know what God has planned for us, especially the miracles that He performs in our lives. 


However, we can continue to put our faith and trust in God that He is working, and that one day, He will give us a miracle or improve our current situation, which might be a miracle in itself.  


At times, it can feel quite frustrating not being able to feel or see any difference in our situation or in our lives, and feeling like we won’t be getting a miracle, but that’s when God wants us to keep trusting Him and know that He always has a plan for us. 


Continuing in prayer and lament, and studying the scripture are ways to get closer to God to be able to hear His voice and let Him guide you during times of your life. The closer we get to God and strengthen our relationship with Him, the more peace we feel. We are able to trust God in anything and everything He does for us. 


Sometimes, God puts us through waiting periods and seasons of our lives to test us to see how much we rely and trust in Him, and if we stay faithful to His word. 


Of course, you can be doing all these things and still not be experiencing the miracle or the breakthrough that you want and need at the moment. Sometimes, God doesn’t give us what we want and need at the exact time because it isn’t the right time for us. He can see what is going to happen in our life down to the specific time and day. God knows best as to when He is going to perform a miracle and when, even if it is not on our own timing. 


Other times, God may seem silent because He knows that we have the necessary tools and skills to overcome and get through whatever situation we are experiencing. When we are going through a difficult time, God doesn’t just take away the problem and give us a simple solution with a snap of a finger. He moves through us by giving us new thoughts and beliefs, and motivates us to get through the problems ourselves. 


It would be nice if God could give us the answers any time and every time that we need it, but the reason why He does not is so that we can learn to rely and trust on no one but God, and we continue to grow in our faith. In the future, we are better equipped to approach problems and situations better. 


Seeing biblical miracles isn’t simply a cause-and-effect situation, it is meant for us to trust God and let Him work in our lives, and at the right time and when we don’t see it coming, that is when God works the miracle in our lives.
