Give Your Worries To God!

Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail) (Psalm 55:22 – Amplified). We are not designed to worry. Worry is really faith in reverse. Worry is allowing the spirit of fear to dominate and rule the situation. Fear attracts the demonic the way that faith attracts God! Don’t allow worry to rule any area of life. Worry is a weight that drains energy ne

When You Pray, Believe You Have The Answer Now!

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (Mark 11:24 – NKJV) So then I tell you, whenever you pray and ask for anything, have faith that it has been granted to you, and you will get it (Mark 11:24 – Williams NT). For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will get it (Mark 11:24- Amplified). That’s why I tell yo

We Have Two Important Positions As Believers

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Revelation 1:5-6). But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into

How To Pray For A Fellow Believer That Has Walked Away From God

We all know believers who have for some reason fallen away in their walk with God. As Paul said they have become “shipwrecked” in the faith. In some way the world, the flesh, and the devil have made inroads into their faith life, and they are away from God and out of fellowship. I have found James 4:5 to be a real key in praying for these prodigal sons and daughters of God. Listen to it in these various translations: Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spiri

Expect Your Prayers To Be Answered!

The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright (Proverbs 15:8). Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere (Ephesians 6:18). …steadfastly maintain the habit of prayer (Romans 12:12 – J.B. Phillips). One of the greatest stress relievers I know of is answered prayer. One of the most spiritually productive things you can do is to develop your faith i

Developing A Prayer Habit

…Steadfastly maintain the habit of prayer (Romans 12:12-J.B. Phillips). The Father wants us to develop our intimacy in prayer with Him. He wants prayer to become a habit. A prayer habit will be one habit that can transform the atmosphere of your life. E.W. Kenyon in his book In His Presence says: Prayer should be as natural as breathing and as enjoyable as eating. Prayer should be as unconscious as our communication with one another. He goes on the say: You can’t spend any le

Get Close To God In Your Private Place

But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open (Matthew 6:6- Amplified). This most private room Jesus mentioned here is a bedroom. It’s a place of intimacy between husband and wife. It’s a place where no one else is invited. It’s a place that is secure from intrusion. The Father wants to develop an intimate relationship with each one of His chil

Here’s Why Prayer Is So Important

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets j

Persistent Prayer

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1 – NIV). Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18). The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] (James 5:16 – Amplified). Prayer brings the power of the kingdom of God into t

Exercise Your Spiritual Authority Through Prayer

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere (Ephesians 6:18 – NLT). This is a day when we must give ourselves more fully to prayer. John Wesley said, It seems that God is limited by our prayer life – that He can do nothing for humanity unless someone asks Him. The reason for this becomes clear from scripture. God must work through the human today because He originally gave a human temporary c

Assert Your Spiritual Authority!

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Th

The Benefit Of Praying in Tongues

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 20). One of the great benefits of receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit is the ability that comes with it to pray in tongues or pray in the Spirit. Praying in tongues is God’s method of bypassing the human mind in prayer and allowing spirit to Spirit communion with God. Some people would lead you to think that there is little value in praying in tongues. But let me ask you

Am I Willing To Do God’s Will Even If I Don’t Like It?

He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” (Matthew 26:39) If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken (Isaiah 1:19-20). Jesus prayed the prayer of consecration in the garden of Gethsemane before He faced crucifixion, die

Move Yourself Into A Deeper Place Of Prayer!

And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. (Luke 24:53). These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers (Acts 1:14). So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart (Acts 2:46). And when they had prayed, the pl
