The Power of a Praying Woman
A praying woman understands the need to pray, hence, she lives a life of prayer: She continues in prayer. To her, praying is ‘second nature’. Her life of prayer results from her knowing her God and not merely knowing about God. Her knowledge of God comes from her having an intimate relationship with Him. A relationship that is nurtured by the Word and worship in ‘The Secret Place’. It is in ‘The Secret Place’ she obtains her power as the Most Powerful One – “the same Power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in her” (Romans 8:11). In Luke 9:1, “Jesus called together the twelve [apostles] and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases”. He told them in Luke 10:19, “Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you”. This same power and authority is available to us today and a praying woman takes a hold of them. As a result, she experiences the manifestations of her prayers. Daniel 11:32b tells us “…but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God].” She knows “…what things so ever she desires, when she prays, believes (trusts and be confident) that she receives them, and she shall have them” (Mark 11:24). Smith Wigglesworth in a sermon on this Scripture made a statement so profound that ignited my desires. He said, “Desire towards God, and you will have desires from God; and He will meet you on the line of those desires when you reach out in simple faith. A praying woman desires towards God and has desires from God and He meets her on the lines of those desires when she reaches out in simple faith. Therein lays the ‘Power of a Praying Woman’.
