Prayer Power, Activate!

Do you remember watching Super Friends on Saturday morning? I'm probably aging myself here, but there were twin super heroes who had rings, and would call out, "Wonder twin powers, Activate!" and their super powers would...well, activate.

I had an experience that reminded me of that, but this time, I felt the power of Christ shun the nettling efforts of Satan.

I lead a bible study for post-abortive women. That first phone call they make to me is never easy, so I enter those conversations gently. Last week, a woman called and as I tried to encourage her, the phone dropped the call. I was so worried that she would take that as a 'sign' that she didn't need to attend the bible study, so I called her back quickly. Four times the phone dropped our call. The fifth time I called her back, she wisely said, "I know what's happening. We need to renounce Satan right now. He's trying to trick me into not attending this study." She prayed to God to take away Satan's influence over our conversation, gave God the glory, and thanked Him for our conversation.

And guess what?...the phone never dropped the call again.

The power of prayer! Amazing!
