I recently watched a documentary called Father of Lights, the documentary was pretty amazing. It show cases different people from all over the world and the amazing things they are doing for the kingdom of God. One of the people in the documentary is a man named Todd White, he travels all over the world and basically walks around praying for people to be healed. There are some pretty amazing videos on YouTube of this guy healing people he meets on the street. The other people in the video are doing some pretty amazing things also, and it all lead me to wonder if the majority of Christians (my self included) are offering up weak prayer. I find myself praying in safe ways, not praying for specific things to happen right then (at least not out loud) out of fear of them not happening. We might pray for healing for some one but it sounds like "God please heal ____ from his/her sickness" and then we wait and hope over the next few months _____ gets better. After watching Todd pray for healing, I feel we are doing it all wrong. Todd prays for specific healing right then and will continue to do so until the person is better. He seems to have no fear of failure, he is not worried about his prayers not being answered. God says he will never abandon us, and Jesus said we would do even greater things then He did. I don't think praying with fear of God failing to come through is what Jesus thought of when he said "greater things".
Imagine what could happen if even half of the Christians in the world prayed like Todd White, or had the confidence in God that any of the men and women did in the documentary. The world would be permanently changed if half of Christians took Jesus at His words of "greater things".
