Ep. 83: Prayer of Blessing: Unleashing Unlimited Power

<p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 83, “Prayer of Blessing: Unleashing Unlimited Power,” Kim discusses the unlimited power of God which is released when humble, willing hearts pray for others. Boaz, a godly man of integrity, has chosen to fulfill his role as a kinsman-redeemer for Ruth and Naomi. This paints a picture of our own kinsman-redeemer, Jesus Christ. When Boaz publicly proclaims his commitment to redeem Ruth, the witnesses pray a prayer of blessing over them both. However, little did they know how God would answer their prayers for this couple and their offspring far beyond anything they could have imagined. For whom do you need to pray and unleash the unlimited power of God?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The primary scripture text for this episode is Ruth 4:1-12, with focal verses of 11-12:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">11 Then the elders and all the people standing in the gate replied, “We are witnesses! May the Lord make this woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of Israel descended! May you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. 12 And may the Lord give you descendants by this young woman who will be like those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah.”</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">SOME IDEAS FOR SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS FOR OTHERS:</p> <ul class="ul1"><li class="li1">Please give ______ a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline.
