The Power of Short Prayers | Pastor Jentezen Franklin 

My mother who will be 88 this year, told me a story that happened after she gave her heart to the Lord Jesus in her 39th year of her life. Even after she was saved, she said she still struggled with smoking. She kept praying for Jesus to help her. One night ,while in Bible study she ask the man who was leading the Bible study to pray for her about her smoking. She said the man held both of her hands in his and simply said, lord, Bless Rayma. She said that after that three word prayer that she felt a warmth come from his hands to hers, up her arms and into her body. From that moment she never desired another cigarette and never smoked again. To top it off she had a doctor's appointment later in her 40's and the doctor told her she had the veins of a 19 year old. Jesus just didn't deliver her, he cleaned her up as well. Glory to GOD

One night while I was asleep, I suddenly woke up and felt a dark presence near my bed. This presence grabbed my throat and started choking me. I yelled JESUS and this thing took off in a flash. There is power in the name of JESUS.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace and rest. He will drive you and pave the way for you. Amen ♥ 🕊

Speaking of short prayers, once I was on a flight about two hours from landing at Jfk airport. The flight was on the way home from St. Lucea and there were so many turbulents that it was preventing the flight attendants from serving the snacks and drinks. The pilot stated that they had received information that we were going to have a bumpy ride all the way to NY. Just as the pilot made that statement, the plane hit a huge air pocket and dropped down so far that it made several people scream. My heart dropped at that point, and I yelled, "Jesus." As I called the name Jesus, in that instance, the turbulents instantly stopped. There were no more turbulents at all for the rest of the flight. What was amazing is that I didn't even get the full name of Jesus out of my mouth as the turbulents were instantly stopped, and we had a smooth flight all the way through after.

Before I was saved I was driving down a highway and lost control of my car. I was in the direct path of a head on collision with a tractor trailer. Less than 2-3 seconds from sure death. I cried out a short prayer….God save me! I literally passed through the truck and came out the other end. For the next two and a half hours I cried out “I believe in God!” Two and a half months later I was miraculously saved/born again. Short prayers work miraculously

Whom ever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved 🙏🏾❤️🔥

I believe my mom is healed through my short prayer Jesus answers prayer praise God in the name of Jesus I am healed

A 3 words prayer was enough for me one time when I saw the lights of a police car behind mine for over the limit speed. I said "Jesus, help me. " I stopped, the officer parked behind me and a few moments later, he did a U-turn and left. Glory be to Him who hears even a three word prayer!

Please pray for my children to come back to Jesus and freedom for them from their unhealthy habits and addiction

Do not underestimate the power of prayer.

Every time I hear What a friend we have in Jesus, tears run from my eyes

I pray for complete healing and wholeness for my son 🙏🏽 It will be done In Jesus name 🙌🏽 Amen ❤️

I remember back in 2009, I was really struggling with homelessness and my salvation. My friend had told me about City of Refuge Church in San Antonio, TX where I was living. He told me that they give everyone a prophetic word the first time you visit. The night before I went to check them out, I hit rock bottom, and started crying out to God in prayer. It was a very short prayer..... I said "Father, please let this be a test! Please take me to the next level! In Jesus name!", and I cried myself to sleep. The next night was the church's Wednesday night Bible study, and I went to check them out. Pastor Sherry Gunkle took immediate interest in me, and welcomed me. After praise and worship, she had me stand up, and they handed me a mic. She said "Sir, I have a word for you. The Lord wants me to tell you that He is very pleased with you. He keeps saying that He's very pleased with you. And He wants me to tell you that you've passed the test, and He's taking you to the next level, but to remember that with new levels come new devils." And then she said "How was that?" And all I could say was "It's really hot in here...." And the congregation just started laughing. The Holy Spirit spoke directly through Pastor Sherry, and gave me a literal word for word answer to my prayer that night! BLOWN AWAY!!!! I will NEVER forget that lesson!!! Thank you for your faithfulness, Pastor Sherry! And thank You for loving me, Abba! Less than a week after that, I met the woman of God I would marry, and we now have three daughters together. Jesus has blessed me far and above anything that I ever deserved!!!! Once again, I'm asking, Abba..... Please let this be a test! Please take me and my house to the next level! In Jesus name! Thank You, Almighty God of Heaven and Earth! I trust You, Lord! I can't see the answer, but I'll do it by faith.....

I ask for prayer that not one person in my family from the oldest to the youngest be lost. That In The Name of Jesus my whole entire family be saved and filled with the Holy Ghost!!! Deliver anybody in my family that is drinking, smoking cigarettes, on any kind of drugs even using profanity to be delivered if there be any in my family that’s doing any of these things. Father God, in the Name of Jesus set them free! No only in my family, but other families too. Nothing is to hard for God. What is impossible with man is possible with God!!! With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!

My family & I are under spiritual attack, I am recently saved and have a 24yo son(lives on his own) @ 22 yo daughter still home. They are both unsaved, please pray for us. Their names are Brandon & Aliyah.

The God of impossibility, you will fix my son's lives and cause them to walk back to you because you love them too much

When my sister was hospitalized for 2 years I, requested this pastor to pray for my sister through Instagram and I was not sure whether he will get my message or not and with the mercy of God ,he replied "Your sister will be well soon " indeed my sister got well .May God bless everyone like God the almighty blessed my family through his anointed man 🙏

Glory be to God in Jesus' Name. I m crying as l write my comment. I m a nurse and last night on my night shift, l was given a dying patient to look after. I was wondering where her soul was going after her last breath, but l kept committing her into God's hands....after some time while doing my rounds, l just stopped in the middle of ward and raised up hands and l prayed with a loud voice that God should receive her soul in glory and grant her eternal rest(reminding Jesus, the prayer of my brother on who said to Jesus...remember me when you come into your glory on the cross)...after watching this message on short prayer ohhh, l now know that God sent me to that ward for this patient .Glory be God !!!!. This message is like voice of the Holy Spirit assuring me that Yes ,l was sent to pray for this patient and YES she's now resting in the arms of Jesus. May God richly bless you pastor. 🙏
