Jeremiah 33:1-3. While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time: 2 “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: 3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Prayer is a spiritual science. Just as science reveals facts, accurate answers come from God when you pray. It operates according to spiritual principles, much like scientific laws. People suffer due to a lack of spiritual understanding (Hosea 4:6), and believers struggle in life without grasping the mystery of prayer. When this mystery is understood and practiced, something powerful begins to take place.
When you pray, the Holy Spirit moves powerfully in and through you. As Jesus said, “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13). The Holy Spirit’s work cannot be stopped (Acts 2:1-4). He will empower you from above to overcome the forces of Satan and the world (Acts 1:8). The Spirit will also guide you on the right path (Acts 6:6-10). At the same time, in the unseen spiritual realm, God mobilizes His heavenly forces in response to your prayer.
When you pray, God dispatches His angels to receive every word you think and speak: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand” (Revelation 8:3-4). The angels offer up your prayer to the God of Creation! This is not merely symbolic—it is consistently demonstrated throughout Scripture.
The work of angels is evident throughout Scripture. Three angels delivered the message that God would give Abraham a son (Genesis 18:2-15). God sent an angel to assist Elijah in despair (1 Kings 19:5-7). God sent an army with horses and chariots of fire to protect the city of Dothan, where Elijah was staying, from the vast army of Aram (2 Kings 6:13-17). When God heard Hezekiah’s prayer in crisis, He sent an angel to strike the 185,000-strong Assyrian army (2 Kings 19:35). To Daniel in the lion’s den, God sent angels for rescue (Daniel 6:22).
To prepare for the coming of His Son, God sent the angel Gabriel to Zechariah to bring the good news of the birth of John the Baptist (Mark 1:11-20). After Jesus overcame the temptation of the devil, angels came and attended him (Matthew 4:11). The ministry of the angels intensified with the gospel movement carried out by the early Christians (Acts 5:19, 8:26, 10:3, 12:7, 12:23, 27:23). These accounts reveal a clear and unchanging truth.
The prayer of the saints spoken in the name of Jesus is powerful. In the name of Jesus, the kingdom of Satan falls, and the power of evil spirits crumbles. Prayer can change anything. So stop worrying about your life, but start praying! Yet the reason many fail to pray lies in the spiritual atmosphere they are living in.
The world is saturated with a “Nephilim culture” that deceptively whispers, “You are the center.” While modern society offers counseling and temporary comfort, these are merely bandages that fail to heal the spirit. Therefore, the answer is not external, but internal and spiritual. The true solution is the absolute bartizan of the Triune God within you. By dedicating even just 5 minutes each morning to prayer, you align yourself with Him to conquer the universe. This will imprint the Word into your brain and spirit, fundamentally changing what has been imprinted in you, deeply rooted, and become your nature. It will prepare you for the 300% journey: God’s perfect plan for you, your field of work, and your future.
Once this spiritual foundation is established, it begins to transform how you see everything throughout the day. Once your foundation is set, your perspective must shift through the eyes of faith. Just as David was seen as a mere child by man but a king by God, you must view your current struggles differently. If your life is filled with problems, you are not being punished; you are being prepared as a large vessel. You are like a tree that needs the wind and rain of the wilderness to grow strong, rather than a fragile plant in a greenhouse. Your absolute journey continues throughout the day by transforming every sight and action into prayer.
This flow of prayer does not end with the day—it continues into the night. Then your night will not be just for rest; it is a special time for nighttime prayer, where God carries out His greatest works. During this time, you seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit, fully submerged and led by God’s power. You will go to the lowest places to serve, finding value where others see none, while keeping your eyes on the highest goal. You will stop copying the world but choose “nobody” and “nothing.” You will realize that it is in the space of the absolutely impossible that God’s answers are most clearly revealed. God will bring fundamental healing.
Ultimately, this is the promise God gives to those who pray. Your heavenly Father made the earth, formed it, and established it. When you pray, He will answer you and tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come (Jeremiah 33:3). Seek first His kingdom and ask His absolute plans for your life through prayer!
Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see what happens when I pray. Help me to pray in the Spirit in all circumstances. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
