Prayers are like the powerful sounds of trumpets. When God's people come together and pray, the walls that challenge progress will fall.

About This Quote

The Bible tells us that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible also tells us that when God created the heavens and the earth, he said, “Let there be light.” When God created light, it was a beautiful thing. It was beautiful in its content, but it was even more beautiful in its form. The form of light was something that had never been seen before on earth or in heaven.

It was a radiant glow. In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, he created a beautiful light. It was a brilliant light that shone from the universe, a light that blazed from above and below and around everything. But when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, they turned away from God and began to be self-centered instead of being selfless.

They forgot what it means to be part of a family with a Father who loves them with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. That is why Adam and Eve were banished from paradise. In their hearts they were still selfish children who only loved themselves. The Bible says that one of the reasons we are all born into this world is because of Adam's sin: "By one man sin entered into the world and death by sin." (Romans 5:12).

When Adam sinned against God and took an apple from the tree of life to satisfy his own selfish desires, he brought death into the world. And because we are all born sinners, we all have to die because we were all once children of Adam whose sinful nature had corrupted his spirit. But when we turn to Jesus Christ as our Savior who died on Calvary's cross three thousand years ago, God raised him from death on Calvary's cross three thousand years ago so that we can live again on Calvary's cross today . He has given us eternal life (Eph 2:4-6; Gal 3:22).

And through faith in Christ we can be made alive again (Jn 3:16; Rom 6:23; Eph 2:5; Col 3:1). We can actually rise up every time we fall (Eph 3:14). The walls that challenge progress will fall today if Christians get together and pray for one another (James 5:16; Heb 10:23). If Christians get together and pray for one another , then new walls will come down which will allow new victories to come in our lives
