Beyond Words power to kill us if it is misused. The power of GOD, however, of which electricity is but a pale shadow, is regarded as of little or no importance. We therefore think that the efficacy of prayer is that it may be able to change the mind of GOD. This is magic, but it is not religion. Gideon and Joshua knew this and were successful only because they knew they could only achieve their objectives if they asked for the help of GOD and asked Him to speak to them and reveal to them a practical strategy which would work. We too will achieve great things if we open ourselves up to GOD in this way, but we must know more about how GOD speaks to us.
