Atacama Desert

In the Atacama Desert fell real snow!

The invasion of cold air in the rear of the cyclone decreased the thermometer readings in the mountains to negative values.
Cooling was accompanied by precipitation: rain on the coast and snow in the mountains, which formed a temporary snow cover.
Located in the north of Chile, Atacama Desert is the most arid place on earth. Below 50 mm of rain is a years average here. In some places precipitation comes only once in few decades. In the Antafogasta area the year average precipitation is only 1 mm. Some weather stations have never recorded rain.
According to the research of scientists from the UK, there are river beds that havent seen water in the past 120,000 years.

WHAT IS PRAYER?
Prayer, simply put, is the soul of man talking to God. It is worship addressed to God the Father, in the name of God the Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit Acts 12:5; John14:13; Ephesians 6:18; Romans 8:26-27. Prayer should consist of the following:
(a) Adoration i.e. praises and worship of God for what God is e.g. God is good, merciful, kind, powerful, faithful, just etc. When you praise God for what He is rather than what He has done for you, it is true worship - Ps. 95:6. (b) Confession and repentance from every known sin - Ps. 32:5. Washing in the blood of Christ will follow. If you are already sanctified and you have no sin to confess, wash in the blood all the same. You can never be too clean.
(c) Thanksgiving. Be thankful for anything and everything that God has done - Phil. 4:6.
(d) Supplication Le. Intercession, requests, petitions and desires can now be addressed to God, in the name of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit – ITim. 2:1.
WHY SHOULD WE PRAY?
God commands us to pray - Luke 18:1; 1 Thess.5:17; 1 Chron.16:11; James 5:13; Psalm 50:15. Jesus prayed and Christian followers of Jesus are expected to pray - Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12; Luke 3:21. The early Church prayed, so, churches too should pray - Acts 4:23-31; Acts 12:5-6; Eph. 1:15-20; CoI.4:12. The believers of old prayed too e.g. Moses in Exodus 15:23-25; Jesus, Matthew 26:39-42, David in Psalm 51:1-2 and Elijah too­1 Kgs.18:37-39; James 5:17-18.

                                                                  
WHERE AND WHEN CAN ONE PRAY?
We can pray everywhere - I Timothy 2:8, in the closet - Matthew 6:6, or in the church, - Luke 18:10. Private prayer may be made in the secret place. Family prayer will involve a large group and may be made in the sitting room while public prayer may be made before the congregation.
We can pray in the morning - Psalm 5:3, at noon and in the evening ­Psalm 55: 17, day and night - Psalm 88: 1, daily - Psalm 86:3, and always ­Luke 18:1-. It is not only when you are on your knees with your eyes closed that you can pray. You can pray as you drive to work, while at work or while resting. Singing praises to God is also a form of prayer. Pray without ceasing 1 Thess. 5:17.
CONCLUSION
We have just discovered some fundamental truths about the master key, especially the aspects of when and where to apply it. Let us, therefore, act now and present all our petitions to God in the name of Jesus Christ. It is certain that He will answer accordingly to His perfect will for us.
