Jesus said that prayer is essential. Prayer is at the center of the issue, and our response to Jesus' words should manifest in prayer. The Bible emphasizes not duty but ability. The issue we need to address is one of capability. Prayer is crucial. Prayer is not mere words but the fruit of life. Though we may pray with words, the outcome of prayer manifests as fruit. Prayer without fruit is not true prayer. Whatever the content of our prayers, there must be fruit and events. We must pray prayers of power. Through prayer, we should receive God's ability. When we pray in the name of God, God fulfills the prayer.
