Prayers Don’t Expire
Matthew 21:22 (NLT) “…You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”

Halleluiah, in the Name of Jesus! There is no expiration date on anything we ask of our Heavenly Father. It is true that ‘the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results’ James 5:16b (NLT). Faith-filled prayers have eternal delivery dates! There are relatives and friends in our family line that have gone on to be with the Lord. But when they were alive in the earth, they were prayer warriors. They petitioned prayers of protection, provision and blessings for you and me that they knew they might not live to see in the physical sense, but they were certain the answers to their prayers would come to pass. Think about those times when God delivered a breakthrough for you, or He turned things around in your favor. Think about how God moved obstacles out of your way that were meant to hinder you. Think about how He cancelled a doctor’s diagnosis and healed you to your wholeness of health! Some of those blessings were the answers to prayers made long ago! Someone prayed blessings forward just for you, and someone is somewhere praying for you right now! Why don’t you do the same for someone else? Invest in a faithful prayer life. Your prayers don’t expire in the realm of Eternity.
