 My dear viewer, welcome again today to the series on 40 days of prayer and we are on day 13th when we are beginning a brief sub-series of word where we will be looking at the power of word in the next few days and today being day 13th of our series. We are introducing the power, the ministry and the miracles of the word of God. I want to invite you to be part of this today. We apologize because yesterday we were not able to bring you this program because of so many conveniences but we are glad that we are back today to have you and give you the privilege of being together with the Lord in this 40 days of prayer. I want to invite you as we start that we can say a brief prayer and then I'm going to read the text that is going to be our meditation as we pray for this particular day. Let's together join in prayer. Breaches for the in heaven thank you for this precious day and moment when we are at your feet. We thank you and we pray as we begin this program. I take you quickly to the book of Mark chapter 4, a very interesting story, of course you can find it in the book of Matthew chapter 8, a story of where Jesus, you know, account the storms. And in Mark account chapter 4 beginning of verse number 35, the Bible says, on the same day when the even was come, said unto them, let us pass over unto the other side. And when they have sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. There were also with him other little ships. There arose a great storm of wind and the waves bit into the ship so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a pillow. And they awakened him and said unto him, master, here is thou, nor thou we perish. And he rose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, peace be still. And the wind ceased. There was great cold. Very interesting. We have listened to this text so many times speaking about peace be still. But we have not laid emphasis on what meant the sea to be still. Of course, you know, this is Jesus who has power. But I want you today to appreciate what Jesus used to steal the sea. He did not strike the sea. You know, I will remember the stories in the Old Testament when the Moses was passing through with the children of Israel, that great sea. And, you know, they couldn't be able to get into the water through to the other side of the sea. And they didn't know how. But God instructed Moses to strike the sea. You also remember the story of River Jordan, Joshua, and stepping into those waters that were raging and then the river part into two. You know, Jesus would have taken a stick and stuck the water and the water would have been calm or he would have stepped into the water. But then he chose to speak to the water. He chose to speak to the waves. He chose to speak to the storms. He chose to speak to the troubled waters. So the Word of Jesus was the means by which the storms were calm. And so we are appreciating the power of the Word of God. You see, of course, we can go into the exposition of the power of the Word of God into the Bible or from the Bible. And we appreciate, especially in the Book of John where it says, in the beginning was the Word and the one was with God and the one was God. You know, that Jesus in the beginning he was God. So because we appreciate in that particular text of the Book of John that the Word is Jesus. And so we are interacting with the Word of God. But also we know right in the Book of Genesis, when God came to create, He spoke and the things came to be. He spoke and everything was formed. He spoke and everything was ordered the way we see things today. So there is power in the Word of God. Of course, this morning or this afternoon or this evening from wherever you are, I am reminding you that there is power in the spoken Word of God. Well, there is power in the Word of God, the Bible. And there is power in what God speaks to you or about you. And so as we go to prayer, the question is, what is the storm in your life? What method are you using to calm, to silence the storms in your life? Many of us when we are under storms we look for various ways. Some of us we run to our friends, others we run to our relatives, others we go even out to seek for mediums and witchcraft and all the powers of darkness just to get help from the challenge we are going through. And some other people they feel so much of a wound even they commit suicide. They terminate their lives because they don't know how the storm in their life can be silenced. But Mark is reminding us here that there is power in the spoken Word of God. When God speaks to you, when God speaks about you, there is power. You see, Jesus is interested in making you to understand that you are safe in His hands. You are safe in His hands. That you can trust Him. You can go before Him. Tell Him what you are feeling. Tell Him where you are hurting from. And listen to Him. Listen as He speaks to you. Listen as He speaks about your case. Bible says here, Jesus woke from sleep and He said peace be still and the wind ceased. The storms were silenced. And I am praying that this morning, this afternoon, this evening wherever you are, that may the storms of your pain be silenced. May the storms and the struggles be silenced. May the storms of conflict in your life be silenced. By Jesus speaking peace in your life. By Jesus speaking hope in your life. By Jesus speaking breakthroughs in your life. By Jesus speaking success and victories in your life. And this our prayer is a time when you not only need to speak to Jesus but you ought to listen when Jesus is speaking to you. So possession yourself create an environment where you can dialogue with Jesus. You can listen to Him as He speaks to you and you shall hear Him for sure saying peace be still. Is there anything too difficult for the Lord? I say no, there is nothing too difficult for Him. He can say peace be still and the storms in your life can cease. So as you pray, don't be fear because of what you are going through. Don't be fear because of what you are experiencing today. Don't be fear because of what you expect is going to happen in your life. But only trust that Jesus is with you even in silence is still with you. Cry out to Him and you shall hear Him say my child, my daughter, my son, peace be still. So come along with me as you pray. Wherever you are you could be at your workplace, you could be at home, you could be driving in your car. You could be anywhere in the market, anywhere you are. And we are getting this message today. We are talking about the power of the Word of God. The power of the spoken Word of God. And of course we know the entire scripture. This is the Word of God spoken by God Himself inspiring people to speak and to write. This is where hope and soul is in the troubled moments. And so I want to invite you that you will be at peace with the Lord even as you pray. This general 40 days of prayer shall be a blessing to you, to your family and to people around you. Let's pray together. Our gracious Father in Heaven, we thank you so much for the privilege of this fellowship. We thank you for the opportunity of the 40 days of prayer. And Lord we thank you today that you are reminding us that there is power in your Word. Power in the spoken Word. Disciples struggled the way we struggle. Employing our free and human methods to solve a spiritual crisis. Forgetting that indeed it is only you who can give a solution for such kind of challenges. It seemed you were asleep and were giving up. But yet when they cried out and you worked from your sleep. You came, you spoke and your Word came to pass. But indeed the storms were silenced. And there was peace in the sea. And everyone was overwhelmed and asked who is like this man. And today Lord I know that we are going through various storms in our lives. We are going through various conflicts and afflictions, pain, distress and depressions. There is only one way we can have peace. We shall learn how to listen to you. But then Lord we find the text that is until they cry out to you. That you rose and say in peace be still. And in this hour we are crying out to you my Father. And we are waiting to hear you say peace be still in that marriage. Peace be still in that career. Peace be still in that home. Peace be still in that health. Peace be still in our lives. And indeed because there is power in your spoken word. We shall receive miracles of healing and bread foods. Peace and love and reconciliation because Jesus spoke blessings upon our lives. This moment Lord we thank you. We pray that we can continue strengthening our faith. And that shall bring us at every moment we spend with you. Whatever few minutes it may be. It is never in vain. This moment Lord I know indeed it is not in vain that you are blessing us. Give us faith to wear upon you every day but more importantly to listen as you speak to us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Don't forget that we are still praying for seven member list. I hope you have already your list. If you have not gotten a list please just think about seven people that you want to be praying for. I mean you can even pray for more than seven. But then in this experience of four days of prayer we are also interceding and carrying along our family members or friends and those who that we know they need interventions. We are presenting them before the Lord every day. Please continue praying for them.
