THE POWER OF PRAYER

Do you ever have those kind of days,
When nothing turns out right?
Where you feel like your walking in total darkness,
And you wish so for the light?

Where every single step you take,
Feels like your walking uphill?
And just continuing with your life,
Takes every ounce of will?

Does it sometimes seem your hopes and dreams,
Will never come to be?
And when you stop to look around you,
Pain is all you see?

Do you ever feel like giving up?
Ragged, used or worn?
Have you ever hurt so much,
That you wished you were never born?

Don’t feel so alone for we all have those days,
And there is someone who cares,
You can always reach His listening ear,
With a simple word of prayer.

The power of prayer is very great,
It's stronger than sin, lust or hate.
It can shake the roots of sin itself,
Until it falls apart,
It can humble even the strongest soul,
And can soften the hardest heart.

It brings hope to those who have no hope,
And to those who are oppressed,
It brings comfort to those who are in pain,
And to those who are distressed.

So when you feel your days been long,
Or you weep for some small loss,
Remember the agony that Jesus felt,
As He suffered on the cross.

Remember the crown of thorns on his head,
Remember the spear thrust in His side,
Remember the nails in His hands and feet,
Remember.................for you He suffered and died.

Take a long hard look at all your problems,
And those Jesus had to bare,
You'll find your little problems,
Are nothing to compare,

So when you feel downtrodden,
And you need someone who cares,
Just bow your head, close your eyes,
And experience the power of prayer.

 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me
 

They are called the “ten words” in the Hebrew.  We call them the ten commandments.  But a most interesting factor is that while they were the basis of the covenant God made with the entire nation of Israel (Ex. 19:1-3), they are stated in the singular pronoun “you” or “thou” rather than the plural “ye.” 

     “You (individually) shall have no other gods “before Me."  A more accurate rendering would be: "beside me" or "in addition to Me.” God claims to be God and there is no other (Isa. 46:9).  He specifically states we are not to follow other gods (Jer. 25:6; 35:15). 

     This commandment is reiterated in Exodus 20:23-24:  “You shall not make other gods besides (same Hebrew word translated “before”) Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves” (NAS).  The NIV translates this verse like this:  “Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold” (NIV).

     It was not good enough to say that you worshipped the Eternal (YHVH) the God of Israel but then said that you also worshipped Dagon the god of the Phillistines.  You could not worship YHVH and Chemosh or Molech too.  This is what the commandment forbade.       No one compromised himself more on this commandment than did King Solomon.  He built shrines for his foreign wives with their pagan religions.  He held to the Eternal God but he didn’t think that it would hurt if he allowed others to have their gods and even if he joined his wives in their worship!  God spoke to him twice about this but he would not listen or change (1 Kings 11).

     The great commandment that Jesus sanctioned was:  “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deut. 6:5).  This left no room for watering down or placing other gods beside Him.

     “Who among the gods is like you, O LORD?  Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” (Ex.15:11). 

     Jesus refused to bow down to and worship Satan even for all the kingdoms of the world quoting the passage:  “For it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only” (NIV). 

     Anything can be made into a “god.” Pride, covetousness, sensuality or anything that is esteemed, loved, feared, delighted in or depended on more than God Himself! 

     Paul said that in the world there are many “gods” and many “lords” but for us there is but one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom al things come and through who we live” (1 Cor. 8:4-7 NIV).  The command forbids us to worship others in addition to the Father & Son.      Each individual must search his/her own heart to be sure there is no other god beside or in addition to the Almighty God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
