At Day Of Prayer, Radio Station President Says Prayer Works
By Jackie Gorski-
Montana said she’s had prayers answered.
“How many of you had all had a miracle happen in your life because you prayed for something?” she asked. “All of us could say that. So when you start remembering what God has done in your life, then you can go back and remember that he’ll answer your prayer again. Because if he’s done it before, he’ll do it again. Amen.”
There’s no limit in what people can ask because nothing is “going to mess God up,” she said. Nothing’s going to throw him off. God can do anything. She said God loves everyone and hears people’s prayers.
Something happens when people say they believe their prayers can be answered and God is willing to answer them, she said.
“It’s something powerful when you say, ‘I believe that can happen because I trust God because he’s answered my prayers before and he’ll do it again.’”
Montana said if people can believe prayers will be answered in their lives, they can believe their prayers can be answered for things to happen in the nation and the world.
“We want to pray big God prayers from our heart because he loves to communicate with us. Do you know how much your father loves you? This is communication with God,” she said.
She also told people to teach their children and grandchildren how to pray. She said if students have a tough day at school or if people have a problem, to pray about it. She said if a person’s prayer gets answered, they should say it in front of their children.
In order for prayer to work, Montana said, people have to ask. If people aren’t praying big God prayers and only paying little prayers, they’ll only get little answers.
Montana said it looks like the world is falling apart.
“Well, it is. The world is falling apart,” she said. Montana said God said things are going to be tough. She explained prayer like boot camp for the military. The military goes to boot camp so they are prepared to win when they go to battle.
Life goes too fast and people shouldn’t get stuck on things like what other people might say. People should continue to pray in order for God to help them to serve God and honor him “and trust this country will turn around.”
Montana said prayer works and people should pray like prayer works.
While she’s had some defeats, she lives for victories.
She’s had times of doubt when she didn’t feel she could go on. When she started praying, Montana said something happened and she felt God was willing to move a mountain for her. People have to believe prayer will work. When people do, they start talking and walking differently. It doesn’t matter age, denomination, gender, God will answer people’s prayers if they call to God, she said.
God is alive in our culture, she said. People need to change their language when talking about politicians or celebrities they don’t agree with or like. She suggested praying to send the Holy Spirit to change their trajectory of how those people decide things.
There’s always going to be people that anger you, Montana said. Montana suggested praying for those people.
Prayer is about God’s timing, too. There’s a process that needs to happen.
“We don’t know what’s going on in someone’s life. So when we’re praying prayers, we have to pray for God to lead us, God to lead our country, God to lead our communities. Not to do it in our timing,” she said. Prayers don’t always get answered on people’s expected timing.
After Montana spoke, several members of the regional community led prayers on different topics. They were government, Laurie Renier, clerk-treasurer of Winona Lake; education, Joe Bryan, retired teacher from Warsaw Community Schools; ministry and missions, Dr. Freddy Cardoza, dean of Grace Theological Seminary and the School of Ministry Studies; families, Tom VanMeter, founder of Forte Residential and Forte Home Health Care; military, Joe Wilkey, founder of World Compassion Network; business, Andrea Payton, financial controller at Warsaw Community Church; media, Josh Raines, “Josh and Friends” broadcaster on Christian radio station STAR 88.3.
