Prayer : Where has the Power Fell?

I have been a follower of Jesus Christ for the past 20 + years and in my time serving Him I have been one who has craved spending time in prayer for the saints of God and those in need of His healing touch and or deliverance.  I remember a time when people in the Church would gather together and pray and call down the power of the Lord onto a situation.  I have seen God move so mightily in those meetings but as the years have passed on it appears that fewer and fewer churches and those who are leading it do not have a desire to have a corporate prayer time. 

This reminds me of the story of the young prophet who was helping to build a bigger place for his fellow young prophets under the ministry of Elijah.  As the young prophet chopped at a tree the ax head on the ax that he borrowed came off and fell into the water behind him.  The young prophet was distraught but when Elijah heard about he asked the young prophet to show him where it fell off at.  Than God provided a miracle that allowed the ax head to float to the surface and the young prophet than grabbed the ax head and placed it back on the ax and began to work once again on the tree he was chopping down. 

The moral of the story is this.  The power of God that the Church needs in this hour has slipped off our ax handle.  We need to recover the ax head otherwise we are making no progress in the Kingdom of God without it.  We need the prophetic voice that God is using in this hour to show us where to find it and once it has been uncovered it is time for us to pick up where we last  left it and begin to use the tool of prayer to bring us to the place where the power we need to harvest souls for God's Kingdom  is made available.  God is wanting to do great things in the Church in this hour.  Are we willing to seek Him out and find where are ax head is?
