The book called THE PRAYER OF JABEZ was phenominal with an awakening power of the Holy Spirit's call to spiritual Israel to awake and receive the blessings that God has already bestowed upon us. I pray this prayer everyday. It is on my refrigerator as a reminder to pray and thank God for His blessings that He has already promised in His Word to His children. The prayer of Jabez is found in I Chronicles 4:9-10. After the author of Chronicles has gone through the long list of members in the family tree of the Hebrew tribes, he comes to the tribe of Judah. The reader has to read forty-four names of the descendants of Judah's tribe in chapter 4 before the short story, consisting of only two verses that many of us have missed when reading through the Bible, shines through. I had missed this light previously. It was only through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, which came through several Christian friends, that I finally read the book and received the richness of the contents of this Godly prayer. Bruce Wilkinson challenges us as Christians to believe and receive the blessings that are rightfully and legally our own. I am praying this prayer for myself, my family, and my church. I am claiming the power of God in my life which He continues to reveal in and through His people by the workings of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that gives life to the Word. He quickens His Word in us and the Word becomes alive in us and flows out of us revealing God's power in and through us. Our faith in Him and our belief that He is working in us will motivate us to act upon what He has promised. This action of faith on our part will release the power of God for us and bring about changes in our lives. We will be blessed, indeed and our borders and territories will be enlarged. God will be faithful to keep us from evil that we may not cause grief or be grieved. The power of God is unlimited. Bless us, indeed, Lord. Enlarge our territory - the whole world is God's territory and we are His heirs and joint heirs. He is our Keeper. He keeps us from evil. When we are weak, He is strong. He knows how to stretch us and make us His warriors. If you, as a Christian, are ready for the transformation that God has available for His people, read this book. As Bruce Wilkinson says in His book, "You know beyond a doubt that you were redeemed for this." I want to encourage God's people to behold the identity that God has given to us! We are not paupers. We are priests and kings through Christ Jesus! We all need to claim our blessings that God has bestowed upon us.
