"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." (Jeremiah 33:3)
Prayer is not a one sided conversation, it is a two way interaction. It is a gift that allows personal interaction with the living God in a way that we not only speak to Him, but He hears and responds. The intention and exception of this interaction is to be great, for there is nothing greater than personally knowing and interacting with God. His desire for us is to not only know Him, but to be personally joined to Him and the most common way He allows this to take place is through prayer.
In this episode we speak with Joe, who grew up in a Buddhist home in Singapore. Although his upbringing and surrounding culture were Buddhist, his spirit and mind wrestled with the notion that there must be more. At the age of 13 he responded towards this wrestling in the only way he knew how, prayer. Not yet knowing the God he was praying to, he simply asked, "God show me who you are." This is a story of Jeremiah 33:3, calling out to God and in return God revealing great and hidden things not yet known. It is a story of relational salvation through prayer, a relationship that not only he would come to know, but also his parents, siblings and generations to come. I hope this story stirs in you the power of prayer and the love of our God towards us. As Jesus himself prayed in John 17:21, "that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.”
