I Samuel 7: 10
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and routed them, and they were smitten before Israel.
Samuel was praying and offering sacrifice to the LORD for the deliverance of Israel. GOD heard his prayer and " the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day." This all happened a very long time ago, does it happen today? Yes, it does.
In the prayer that JESUS taught, He said, "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." JESUS would not have said that if it was not true. There are plans being formulated by the enemy to kill, steal and destroy the people of GOD, but GOD knows those plans and when we pray, He will cancel the plans of the enemy before they can be activated. He does this in every time, when we ask Him.
There is a key here that must be used: "Ask and you will receive". The Scripture also says that we have not, because we ask not and when we ask, we ask amiss. Samuel asked on behalf of the people of Israel, He asked with sacrifice and offerings, He worshiped and prayed. He knew the Heart of GOD and His will for the Children of Israel, so His intercession was according to the will of GOD. The LORD had already "prepared a table before him in the presence of the enemy." What GOD did then, He will do now; ask Him.
