When some people tell their friends about their problems or the problems of another, the advice that’s often given is prayer. However, the advice is given in a way that makes prayer seem minor or non-effective. They may say, “All you can do is pray about it.”

The reason why prayer is presented as minor is because some of us don’t have a real grasp on our authority, dominion, and power. Our words have authority in heaven and in earth (Matthew 18:18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.) We’ve been given authority over EVERYTHING in the earth (Gen. 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth).  Also, what we properly ask for will, not possibly, come to pass. (Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.)

Prayer is not all we can do, but the best thing we can do. Let’s use our authority, dominion, and power to change our world for the better, undue the works of the devil, and bring heaven to earth.

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
