L. Caldwell, Pastor New Jerusalem Baptist Cathedral There is a scripture which says God has given the church gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and for edifying the church (Ephesians 4:12). One other version of the this scripture uses the phrase, “for the perfecting of the saints.” Equipping and perfecting are on going processes. One of the major spiritual items the church is to be perfected in is prayer and praying. Prayer is sacred and holy and is not to be toyed with. There are those in the church services who still are not in tuned to prayer. Some in worship service find prayer and praying boring and often find something to preoccupy their minds until this portion of the worship service is over. A church is not God’s sanctuary unless we make serious prayers to cover our sins, sicknesses, hopes, healing, and life’s dreams, godly praises, and the unity of spirit in our hearts. Those who do not value prayer in any way and think it is a waste oftime are not believers in God. It is true, there is enough distasteful things going on in the world for many to believe there is no God, and if there is, then He doesn’t care for innocent and poor people. Of course this is not true. So much of the ugly stuff happens to us and in this world simply because we don’t pray daily as our Lord had commanded us to pray. Prayer is the only way we can communicate to God our needs and forgiveness. Jesus prayed often to the Father. Job prayed often for his children. The story of the Prodigal son indicates that the son’s father prayed for the son’s return daily. Parents and friends should never give up praying for their children, whether they are good or bad. When the scriptures tell us to “be still” this implies that the only way you are going to hear God speaking to you is to be still and quiet. Many Christians have lost many opportunities to be blessed and or to hear God speak to them when He wants to guide them through the midst of a crisis. They miss hearing God simply because they have not learned how to be still before the Lord in their personal prayers and in worship service (Psalm 4:3-4). For the believer there is faith in the midst of his/her prayers. The prayer of the believer must be used to protect the church and those therein-And the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. And if the enemy damages or destroys the church it will be simply because there was no serious prayers or praying going on in the church or in the hearts of the people. Some people in the church fail to understand that whenever prayer is being said, we are standing before the throne of the Almighty and Everlasting God. What should our behavior be then? What then will be able to distract us from the presence of the Lord? Mark and Luke tell us of an event which took place in Peter’s house in Capernaum. This incident symbolizes the conditions of all ofus at one time or another. This is the story of a paralytic man. When we are in in our sins, we are helpless just like this paralytic. This paralytic could not do anything for himseli unless somebody gave him aid. The same is true of us. Those who believe that they have been able to out run their sins and do for themselves, needing no one’s help is determined by God to be spiritually sick (Mark 2:17). Physically sick people know when they are sick, but spiritually sick people, especially some religious ones often fail to see their illness. Jesus said I come to heal those who are sick. Our Lord is telling us that we need someone to pray and look after us. Four men, four friends brought their paralytic friend to Jesus to be healed. Because of the crowd around the house where our Lord was preaching, the men could not bring the paralytic man in close proximity to gain the Lord’s attention. The following actions of these four men show their love and commitment for their friend as well as their faith in Jesus Christ. The love for their friend did not allow them to give up while they had Jesus in sight (Mark 2:4). These men begin to uncover the roofing over Jesus head. This mean they will replace and repair the roof afterwards. They uncovered the roof without saying a word to each other. They did not allow themselves to be distracted by anything as they were lowering their friend on a pallet bed down in the presence of the Lord to be healed right in the midst of Jesus’ sermon. They each held their corner of the pallet as they steadily lowered their friend right in front of Jesus. Their action was their prayer, their action was their faith and their faith was their prayer in action. Faith without action is dead. This is why having godly friends is always important (Romans 5:6; Ephesians 2:12). Jesus saw their faith and love for their friend and declared the man free from sin, “Son your sins are forgiven.” Shortly afterwards, Jesus told the former paralytic to take up his bed and go to his house. We can bring our children and friends to Jesus, even though we cannot save them nor heal them. We can do this through much prayer, personal and compassionate conversation and a warm, encouraging invitation for them to get to know Jesus for themselves.
