Exodus 4:31
“And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.”
We need a certain mindset in order for the power of prayer to work.
The first thing you read in this verse, is that they believed. I believe many of our prayers seem to go unheard, simply because we do not have any faith at all. So, in essence, we defeat ourselves even before we get to the gate!
It moves the heart of God when He sees that you dare, or take a chance, to believe in His word and say I want to believe. He will meet you where your faith is. Like the Apostle Paul, he was made blind and realized he needed to make business with Christ.
God is calling our attention as a nation today. Let us arise and seek Him, now that He still can be found.
