A Prayer That God’s Creative Hand Would Rain The Miracles, The Signs And Wonders And Will Turn Wickedness Into Righteousness
Scripture: Isaiah 45:8
Perhaps one of the greatest promises in Isaiah is Isaiah 45:8. It is one that we should know, memorize and be praying specifically in this season. When the calamity of verse 7 comes and people repent, we can pray verse 8, “Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies, pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it.” Verse 8 is a prayer for a people who want a harvest. It is a prayer that God’s creative Hand would rain the miracles, the signs and the wonders and will turn wickedness into righteousness because after a calamity, people will turn to the Lord. When we start praying verse 8, we are preparing for the aftermath of the next calamity. Calamity is often necessary to stem the tide of evil! Calamities turn people and turn nations. Why have we not been able to turn our nations after calamitous events? Because the church was not in a place to demonstrate the creative power of God and He is calling us now to get ready. Praying Isaiah 45:8 is upon us.
- We must pray and get rid of certain things that are inflicted by familiar spirits:
- Throne-takers; rest robbers and destiny robbers. They stop you from enjoying the rest of God by getting you to strive and struggle in your own strength, whereas Jesus said “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28). For example:
3. Pride:
Pride will stop you from acknowledging who you are as a child of God. Pride is not only thinking you are something better than you are, but also in addition disagreeing with who God says you are. It is about agreeing with the enemy, who says you are useless, that you will never amount to anything.
