in the face of every storm let's walk
00:01:23
this journey together and discover the
00:01:25
Power of a Praying Woman would you like
00:01:28
me to expand this into a full length
00:01:30
sermon The Power of a Praying Woman is
00:01:33
something that cannot be underestimated
00:01:36
when a woman prays she Taps into the
00:01:39
very presence of God the creator of the
00:01:41
heavens and the Earth she is not
00:01:43
speaking into the empty air nor is she
00:01:46
engaging in a lifeless ritual she is
00:01:49
standing in the presence of the almighty
00:01:51
where strongholds are broken where
00:01:53
battles are won and where Miracles take
00:01:56
place there is something about the heart
00:01:58
of a woman who knows how to get on her
00:02:01
knees and cry out to God that shakes the
00:02:04
foundations of Hell itself because a
00:02:07
woman who prays is a woman who
00:02:10
understands that her strength does not
00:02:11
come from herself but from the one who
00:02:14
sits on the throne of Heaven the world
00:02:17
may tell her that she is weak Society
00:02:19
may tell her that she is alone fear may
00:02:22
try to creep into her heart and convince
00:02:24
her that no one is watching over her but
00:02:26
the moment she lifts her voice in prayer
00:02:29
everything
00:02:30
changes suddenly she is no longer just a
00:02:33
mother a wife a daughter or a sister she
00:02:37
is a warrior in the kingdom of God
00:02:40
prayer is not just a passive act it is
00:02:42
an act of spiritual warfare it is the
00:02:46
way she pushes back the darkness the way
00:02:48
she covers her family the way she
00:02:51
secures the promises of God over her
00:02:54
life prayer is her defense against the
00:02:57
enemy's schemes it is her source of
00:02:59
strength when she feels weak it is her
00:03:02
refuge in times of
00:03:04
trouble there is a reason why the enemy
00:03:07
fears a Praying Woman he knows that when
00:03:10
she prays Heaven listens he knows that
00:03:14
when she prays chains are broken he
00:03:17
knows that when she prays The Impossible
00:03:20
becomes possible throughout history the
00:03:24
greatest victories have not come from
00:03:26
those who had the most power the most
00:03:28
money or the most influence the greatest
00:03:31
victories have come from those who knew
00:03:34
how to pray a woman who prays does not
00:03:36
need to have all the answers she does
00:03:39
not need to have everything figured out
00:03:41
she does not need to be the strongest
00:03:43
person in the room all she needs is a
00:03:46
heart that is fully surrendered to God
00:03:49
and that alone is enough to move
00:03:52
mountains look at the stories in the
00:03:55
Bible when Hannah prayed God opened her
00:03:58
womb and gave her a son Samuel who
00:04:02
became one of the greatest prophets of
00:04:04
Israel when Esther fasted and prayed and
00:04:07
entire nation was saved from
00:04:10
destruction when the women at the Tomb
00:04:12
of Jesus were weeping their prayers were
00:04:15
answered with the greatest Miracle of
00:04:17
all the resurrection of the Son of God
00:04:21
time and time again God has shown that
00:04:24
he listens to the cries of a Praying
00:04:27
Woman and he has not changed
00:04:30
the same God who answered the prayers of
00:04:33
those women is the same God who listens
00:04:36
today the woman who praise is never
00:04:38
truly
00:04:40
alone she is never truly unprotected
00:04:43
because the moment she bows her head
00:04:46
Heaven stands at attention and God
00:04:49
himself Becomes Her
00:04:51
Shield God's promise of protection is
00:04:54
not just a comforting thought it is a
00:04:57
Divine guarantee an unshakable truth
00:05:00
that has stood the test of time when a
00:05:03
woman prays she does not pray into
00:05:06
uncertainty she prays into the promises
00:05:09
of a God who never fails from the very
00:05:12
beginning God has revealed himself as a
00:05:14
refuge for those who seek him he has
00:05:17
declared I will never leave you nor
00:05:20
forsake you and those words are not
00:05:22
empty they are the foundation upon which
00:05:25
every woman who prays can stand the
00:05:28
world may shift circumstances may change
00:05:31
and storms may come but God's protection
00:05:35
remains constant there is a shield that
00:05:37
surrounds the woman who places her trust
00:05:40
in him a covering that no force of
00:05:42
Darkness can penetrate when a woman
00:05:45
prays she activates the Divine security
00:05:48
of Heaven she is not abandoned to the
00:05:50
dangers of this world she is held in the
00:05:53
very hands of God the Bible speaks of
00:05:56
this over and over again Psalm 91
00:05:59
declares that those who dwell in the
00:06:02
secret place of the most high will abide
00:06:05
under the shadow of the almighty that is
00:06:07
not just poetic language it is a
00:06:10
spiritual reality a woman who prays does
00:06:14
not walk through life uncovered she is
00:06:16
hidden beneath the wings of a loving
00:06:18
father shielded by his power and
00:06:21
sustained by his
00:06:23
faithfulness even in the darkest of
00:06:26
times even when fear tries to creep in
00:06:29
she can stand firm knowing that God has
00:06:33
promised to be her refuge and her
00:06:35
Fortress there is something unbreakable
00:06:38
about the woman who understands this
00:06:41
promise she does not crumble when
00:06:43
adversity comes she does not live in
00:06:47
constant worry about what tomorrow holds
00:06:49
she knows that no weapon formed against
00:06:52
her shall prosper because her protection
00:06:54
is not based on human strength it is
00:06:57
based on the word of God and God's word
00:07:00
does not return void it accomplishes
00:07:03
what it was sent to do if he has said
00:07:06
that he will shield the woman who prays
00:07:09
then that is exactly what he will do his
00:07:12
protection is not limited by
00:07:14
circumstances nor is it weakened by the
00:07:17
threats of the enemy his protection is
00:07:19
as sure as his name and his name is
00:07:22
above every other
00:07:24
name history has proven this time and
00:07:27
time
00:07:28
again when Daniel was thrown into the
00:07:31
lion's den it was not human power that
00:07:33
shut the mouths of the Lions it was
00:07:36
divine
00:07:37
protection when Shadrach meach and
00:07:40
Abednego were cast into the fiery
00:07:42
furnace it was not human intervention
00:07:45
that kept them from being
00:07:47
burned it was the presence of God
00:07:49
standing in the fire with them and the
00:07:52
same God who did those Miracles is the
00:07:54
same God who watches over every woman
00:07:57
who calls on his name today
00:08:00
prayer is not just communication it is
00:08:03
the key that unlocks the promises of God
00:08:07
the woman who prays is never without
00:08:09
defense never without covering never
00:08:12
without the assurance that she is held
00:08:15
in the safety of the almighty
00:08:18
Faith over fear is the defining Mark of
00:08:21
a woman who prays the world tells her to
00:08:23
be afraid to worry about tomorrow to
00:08:26
carry the weight of every problem on her
00:08:29
shoulder ERS but she
00:08:31
refuses not because she is naive not
00:08:34
because she ignores reality but because
00:08:37
she knows a greater
00:08:39
truth God is with her fear Whispers lies
00:08:45
but Faith declares the promises of God
00:08:49
fear magnifies problems but Faith
00:08:52
magnifies the power of the almighty a
00:08:55
woman who prays has made her decision
00:08:58
she will not be ruled by fear but by
00:09:01
faith in the one who holds her life In
00:09:03
His Hands fear is a thief it steals joy
00:09:07
peace and confidence it paralyzes
00:09:10
keeping people from stepping into the
00:09:12
fullness of God's plan but a woman who
00:09:15
praise does not allow fear to have
00:09:17
dominion over her she knows that fear is
00:09:20
not from God for his word says God has
00:09:23
not given us a spirit of fear but of
00:09:26
power of love and of a sound mind that
00:09:29
means when fear comes knocking she has
00:09:32
the authority to reject it she does not
00:09:35
entertain it she does not let it take
00:09:37
root in her heart she replaces it with
00:09:40
faith because faith is the weapon that
00:09:42
defeats fear every single time look at
00:09:45
the examples in scripture when the angel
00:09:47
appeared to Mary and told her she would
00:09:49
give birth to the savior of the world
00:09:51
his first words were do not be afraid
00:09:54
Mary had every reason to fear society
00:09:57
would judge her her future would was
00:09:59
uncertain and the task before her seemed
00:10:02
impossible but she chose Faith she
00:10:05
responded let it be to me according to
00:10:08
your word and because of that Faith she
00:10:11
became the vessel through which God
00:10:13
brought salvation to the world when
00:10:15
Esther was faced with the possibility of
00:10:18
death for standing up to the king she
00:10:20
could have given in to fear instead she
00:10:23
fasted she prayed and she declared if I
00:10:25
perish I
00:10:28
perish the that is the kind of boldness
00:10:30
that comes from trusting in
00:10:32
God and what happened God protected her
00:10:36
and an entire nation was saved a woman
00:10:40
of prayer understands that faith is not
00:10:42
just believing that God exists it is
00:10:44
trusting that he is who he says he is it
00:10:49
is believing that he will do what he has
00:10:51
promised it is knowing deep in her soul
00:10:54
that even when she cannot see the way it
00:10:57
is standing firm when the storm r
00:10:59
because she knows the one who calms the
00:11:02
storm this faith is not blind optimism
00:11:06
it is built on the unshakable foundation
00:11:09
of God's word and when she prays that
00:11:12
Faith
00:11:13
grows the more she seeks him the more
00:11:16
her fears
00:11:18
diminish the more she declares his
00:11:20
promises the more her heart is
00:11:22
strengthened she does not live in worry
00:11:25
anxiety or dread of the future she walks
00:11:28
in peace in confidence in the assurance
00:11:31
that she is covered by the most high
00:11:33
faith has become her shield and fear has
00:11:36
no place in her life the Bible is filled
00:11:40
with stories of women whose prayers
00:11:43
Chang the course of history these were
00:11:46
not women with great political power
00:11:48
unlimited resources or Earthly influence
00:11:52
they were ordinary women who dared to
00:11:55
trust an extraordinary God they
00:11:57
understood that their strength strength
00:11:59
was not in their own abilities but in
00:12:02
their connection to the almighty when
00:12:04
they prayed walls crumbled Miracles
00:12:08
unfolded and destinies were
00:12:11
altered their stories stand as a
00:12:14
testimony that God listens to the cries
00:12:16
of a Praying Woman and that he moves on
00:12:19
her behalf Hannah was a woman who knew
00:12:22
the pain of
00:12:23
barness she was mocked ridiculed and
00:12:27
made to feel less than others because
00:12:30
she had no children in her culture this
00:12:32
was considered a sign of disgrace and
00:12:35
she could have easily given in to
00:12:37
despair but instead of allowing
00:12:40
bitterness to consume her she took her
00:12:42
pain to the Lord in prayer she wept
00:12:45
before him pouring out her soul making a
00:12:47
vow that if he gave her a son she would
00:12:50
dedicate him back to him and God heard
00:12:53
her he did not just answer her
00:12:57
prayer he gave her Samuel
00:13:00
a prophet who would anoint Kings and
00:13:02
lead a nation Hanah story reminds us
00:13:05
that no pain is too deep no request too
00:13:08
small for the God who hears the prayers
00:13:10
of his
00:13:11
daughters then there was Esther a young
00:13:15
woman placed in a position of influence
00:13:17
for a purpose far greater than she could
00:13:20
have imagined when her people faced
00:13:22
extermination she had a choice stay
00:13:25
silent and hope for personal safety or
00:13:28
risk her life by stepping into the
00:13:30
king's presence to plead for her people
00:13:33
but she did not rush in blindly she
00:13:36
called for a time of fasting and prayer
00:13:39
seeking divine intervention before
00:13:42
taking
00:13:43
action and because of her obedience and
00:13:46
faith God turned the heart of the king
00:13:49
and an entire nation was saved from
00:13:52
destruction Esther's story teaches that
00:13:55
prayer gives courage and when a woman
00:13:58
aligns herself with God's will he grants
00:14:01
her the strength to fulfill her calling
00:14:03
and what about the Canaanite woman who
00:14:05
came to Jesus pleading for her
00:14:08
demon-possessed daughter the disciples
00:14:11
tried to send her away and at first it
00:14:14
seemed as though Jesus himself would not
00:14:17
Grant her request but she refused to
00:14:20
give up she persisted believing that
00:14:24
even the smallest Touch of God's power
00:14:26
could bring healing her faith moved the
00:14:30
Heart of Jesus and her daughter was set
00:14:33
free this woman teaches us that
00:14:35
persistent prayer bold faith and
00:14:38
unwavering trust in God will never go
00:14:42
unanswered from the Old Testament to the
00:14:45
new the pattern Remains the Same women
00:14:48
who pray are women who change the world
00:14:52
they do not rely on Earthly power but on
00:14:54
the Limitless power of God they do not
00:14:57
run from battles but face them them with
00:14:59
faith their prayers do not just impact
00:15:02
their own lives but generations to come
00:15:05
and just as God heard them he hears the
00:15:08
cries of every woman today who lifts her
00:15:11
voice to him even in today's world the
00:15:15
power of prayer is not just something we
00:15:17
read about in ancient stories it is
00:15:20
alive active and transforming lives
00:15:24
there are countless testimonies of women
00:15:26
who have experienced God's supernat
00:15:29
natural protection provision and
00:15:31
guidance through the power of prayer
00:15:34
these women were not immune to trials
00:15:37
but when the storms of life came they
00:15:39
found their refuge in God and he
00:15:42
answered he shielded them delivered them
00:15:45
and proved once again that he is the
00:15:47
same yesterday today and forever
00:15:50
consider the mother who intercedes daily
00:15:53
for her children she may not see
00:15:55
immediate results but she presses on
00:15:58
trusting that God's promises will come
00:16:00
to pass many testimonies have been
00:16:03
shared of wayward Sons and Daughters who
00:16:07
despite years of rebellion suddenly have
00:16:09
an encounter with God and turn their
00:16:11
lives around and when asked what change
00:16:15
they often trace it back to a Praying
00:16:17
Mother who never gave up the prayers of
00:16:20
a mother are powerful because they reach
00:16:22
places she cannot physically go when her
00:16:26
child is lost God's presence can find
00:16:28
find them when they are in danger his
00:16:31
angels can protect them when they are
00:16:34
broken his Spirit can heal them no
00:16:37
distance no darkness no Rebellion is
00:16:39
beyond the reach of a mother's prayers
00:16:41
then there is the woman who faced an
00:16:43
impossible situation a financial crisis
00:16:47
a health scare a desperate need she
00:16:49
could have given in to fear but instead
00:16:52
she chose to pray and just when she
00:16:55
thought there was no way out a door
00:16:57
opened a big bill was unexpectedly paid
00:17:01
a doctor's report was miraculously
00:17:03
reversed a job opportunity arrived at
00:17:06
the perfect moment this is not
00:17:09
coincidence this is the faithfulness of
00:17:12
God over and over we hear stories of
00:17:14
women who in their deepest despair
00:17:16
called out to God and saw his hand move
00:17:19
in ways they could not have orchestrated
00:17:22
themselves he is Jehovah Gyra the God
00:17:26
who provides he sees every tear he hears
00:17:29
every whisper and he answers in ways
00:17:32
Beyond human
00:17:35
understanding and what about the woman
00:17:37
who faced real danger the stories of
00:17:40
divine protection are too numerous to
00:17:42
ignore a missionary surrounded by danger
00:17:45
in a foreign land yet inexplicably
00:17:49
unharmed a woman walking home late at
00:17:51
night sensing an unseen presence
00:17:54
shielding her from harm a wife in an
00:17:57
abusive situation who prays for
00:18:00
deliverance and suddenly finds a way of
00:18:02
Escape these are not just stories these
00:18:04
are testimonies of a God who Shields the
00:18:07
woman who prays his angels encamp around
00:18:11
those who fear Him his Spirit
00:18:14
strengthens the weary his power makes a
00:18:16
way where there seems to be no way these
00:18:19
modern-day Miracles serve as reminders
00:18:21
that God is Not distant nor is he silent
00:18:25
he is near to the Brokenhearted he is
00:18:28
attentive to the cries of his daughters
00:18:30
and just as he moved in the lives of
00:18:32
women in the Bible he moves today the
00:18:35
God who answered then is still answering
00:18:38
now and the woman who prays will always
00:18:41
find him
00:18:42
faithful a call to action is what
00:18:45
transforms inspiration into
00:18:47
transformation it is not enough to
00:18:49
Simply hear about the power of prayer it
00:18:52
must become a way of life a woman who
00:18:55
prays is not just a woman who
00:18:57
occasionally lifts a request to Heaven
00:19:00
she is a woman who makes prayer her
00:19:03
foundation her Lifeline her greatest
00:19:07
weapon it is easy to be inspired by the
00:19:10
stories of Hannah Esther and Mary or to
00:19:13
be moved by modern-day testimonies of
00:19:16
God's
00:19:16
protection but the real question is will
00:19:20
you become that woman will you be the
00:19:23
one who stands in the Gap who seeks
00:19:26
God's presence daily who refuses is to
00:19:29
let fear and doubt rule her
00:19:31
heart the enemy does not fear a woman
00:19:34
who worries he does not tremble at a
00:19:36
woman who complains but he fears a woman
00:19:40
who prays because when a woman prays
00:19:43
chains are broken strongholds are torn
00:19:46
down and God's kingdom
00:19:49
advances a Praying Woman is dangerous to
00:19:52
the forces of Darkness because she
00:19:55
understands where her strength comes
00:19:57
from she knows that she is not fighting
00:19:59
her battles alone she knows that her
00:20:02
help comes from the Lord the maker of
00:20:04
heaven and Earth and when she calls upon
00:20:06
his name he answers the world
00:20:09
desperately needs women of prayer
00:20:11
families need praying mothers and wives
00:20:13
who cover their homes and God's
00:20:15
protection churches need women who
00:20:17
intercede for Revival for lost souls for
00:20:20
the Next Generation communities need
00:20:23
women who stand in the gap for the
00:20:25
broken the hurting the desperate there
00:20:28
is a spirit spiritual war taking place
00:20:31
and the greatest warriors are not always
00:20:33
the ones with microphones or titles they
00:20:36
are the ones who pray in secret trusting
00:20:39
that the God who sees in secret will
00:20:42
reward openly if you have never made
00:20:45
prayer a priority now is the time it
00:20:49
does not require eloquence it does not
00:20:52
require Perfection it only requires a
00:20:54
willing heart start where you are set
00:20:58
aside time to seek God not just in times
00:21:01
of Crisis but as a daily habit speak his
00:21:05
promises over your life your family your
00:21:09
future when fear tries to creep in
00:21:12
combat it with faith when doubt Rises
00:21:16
counter it with truth When Trials come
00:21:19
take them to the one who has already
00:21:22
overcome prayer is not just a duty it is
00:21:26
a privilege it is the key ke that
00:21:29
unlocks doors no man can shut it is the
00:21:33
bridge between the seen and the Unseen
00:21:36
between the natural and the supern it is
00:21:38
the greatest gift a woman can give to
00:21:40
her children her marriage her church and
00:21:43
her world God Shields the woman who
