The Prayer Mantle


            children to walk into their inheritance. The way by which
            God's people can enjoy His blessings in their lives is by
            getting  on  their  knees  to  pray.  The  Bible  says  in  2
            Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my
            name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my
            face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
            from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
            their land." We are guaranteed of speedy answers to our
            prayers only if we can go to God in prayer. Psalm 65:2
            says, "O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh
            come".  Solomon  also  confirmed  God's  willingness  to
            grant us our requests as we pray. 1 Kings 8:28-30:


                   [28] Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of
                   thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD
                   my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the
                   prayer,  which  thy  servant  prayeth  before
                   thee to day:
                   [29] That thine eyes may be open toward
                   this house night and day, even toward the
                   place  of  which  thou  hast  said,  My  name
                   shall  be  there:  that  thou  mayest  hearken
                   unto  the  prayer  which  thy  servant  shall
                   make toward this place.
                   [30] And hearken thou to the supplication of
                   thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when
                   they shall pray toward this place: and hear
                   thou  in  heaven  thy  dwelling  place:  and
                   when thou hearest, forgive.
