Fox News Host Harris Faulkner On a Mission To Reignite the Power of Prayer
We are called to be witnesses to truth and it’s Harris Faulkner’s time to take the stand.
She’s testifying to the power of prayer.
“I’ve been put here as a witness and in that role through the testimonies that I’ve collected, I’ve learned how to pray better,” Faulkner said.
CBN News reported on Faulkner’s new book, “Faith Still Moves Mountains: Miraculous Stories of the Healing Power of Prayer.“
Faulkner has been motivated by the pandemic and all people lost, to reignite belief in prayer. The widespread loss and life-change resulted in many people feeling shaken in their faith and questioning the existence of or love of God.
She cites a new Gallup survey as evidence. The poll found that belief in God in the U.S. dipped to 81%, which is a new low for this country.
“Between 1944 and 2011, more than 90% of Americans believed in God.” In 2017, the percentage was 87%, so we’re definitely trending down.
“The one part of that Gallup survey is people no longer believe in high numbers that God intervenes in our lives,” she explained. “So that’s very important because you’re less likely to be direct and big and fervent in your prayer if you don’t think it’s being heard.”
Faulkner is the host of “Outnumbered” and the “Faulkner Focus” on the Fox News Channel.
According to Faithwire, her mother taught her to pray very young.
“My parents were very strong in their faith,” Faulkner said. “[M]y father was at war more than once; he was a combat pilot in Vietnam, two tours. It was my mom and me for a while when I was little. And as young as I can remember — probably about two, maybe three — mom taught me how to pray.”
The book is a collection of testimonies about the power of prayer.
“One of the most poignant stories in the book centers on a mother who survived the 2012 mass shooting inside a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Amid the hail of bullets, Faulkner said, the mom in her book knew her job was singular: ‘to pray.'”
“It came to her, what to pray,” she explained. “She said it was almost like she transcended those moments and they [she and her daughter] somehow got out of there and ended up in the parking lot, and not everyone made it out.”
That mom realized in that moment that her children were watching what she did and that was a greater lesson than everything she’d ever said about prayer.
Faulkner cares deeply about the truth of prayer and reviving people’s trust that God listens, loves, and responds.
“I pray big with specificity and my one prayer for everyone is that they open themselves up to the point where they can reignite the power of prayer and let bloom in their hearts the hope and unconditional, true unconditional love, that the Lord brings and be patient with Him so that He can do mighty works in your life in His time.”
We join Harris in praying for this outcome.
