What is PRAYER ?
Prayer is a truthful encounter between a sinful, humble soul
And a HOLY, compassionate, loving GOD. For Him. Unto Him.
As we are graced in Christ. Praying His Word back to Him. @T
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” – Jeremiah 33:3
“Thoughts and reasonings may be like the steel wedges that may open a way into truth, but prayer is the lever that forces open the iron chest of sacred mystery. There are the common frames of repentance and faith, but there is also an upper realm of rapture, communion, and conscious union with Christ. All believers see Christ, but not all believers put their fingers into the prints of the nails. Not all have the privilege of leaning upon Jeshua’s bosom or being caught up into the third heaven.“
From: Prayer’s Golden Key – Charles Spurgeon
Intro : Eternal life is to know God
John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Who is this God we revere? God identifies Himself as:
Exo 3:13-14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”….
‘ I AM has sent me to you.”
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and
the End, the First and the Last.”
Rev 21:6-8 I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to
him who thirsts. Jh 9:5 I am the light of the world…
1. EXALT God in Thanksgiving. ACKNOWLEDGE Who HE is
Isa 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
Rev 1:18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. And I have the keys of Hades & of Death.
THANK Him for His name that is above every other name, For Christ’s obedience to the Father, to suffer for us…to overcame sin & death… that in Him we may have eternal life, living in His presence & have joy forevermore.
2. TODAY is the day to make right with God
Today when you hear His voice, do not resist the Holy Spirit. Today is the day of an opportunity to forgive, come clean, repent & turn from our wicked ways.
Today we also stand in the gap – in repentance, for this perverse generation.
To ask God to forgive us & save this nation.
Heb 3:15 “TODAY, If You Will Hear His Voice, Do Not Harden Your Hearts As In The Rebellion.”
Psa 95:7 For He is our God, And we are the people of pasture, And the sheep of His hand. TODAY, if you will hear His voice.
Declare your willingness to hear God speak to you
3. HUMBLE yourself in the presence of God
Jas 4:6 But He gives more grace. …”GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”
1Pe 5:5-6
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”
(6) Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
Choose to humble yourself before God. He is your Creator. He knows you. He holds your life & eternity in His hand. Choose to revere Him in awestruck fear & wonder.
4. Understand the CONSEQUENCES of sin and rejecting true conversion to Christ by His blood shed for us.
ASK God to sanctify you in the washing of His Word.
God is not mocked. Faith in God is not part of a ritual or game on the stages of the world’s idols & cultures.
His Word is the final authority over all life & creation.
Rev 21 : 7-8
(7) He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. (8) But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
5. REPENT now for SINS, transgressions, trespasses &
iniquities, own beliefs. Allow the Spirit to convict you:
lies, deception, hypocrisy, manipulation, corruption, theft…
Rom 3:20-24
(20) Therefore… no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (21) But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, (22) to all who believe…
(23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (24) being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Many who call themselves Christian, are worshipping
their own ideology of God and not what the Scriptures teach.
6. Bring all TEMPTATIONS before Him.
Many temptations come through an open door of/from a WRONG belief system, wrong nurturing habits and / or empty human imparted traditions that one follow blindly, without asking a very important question, ” Why am I doing this? Why is this habit/tradition/belief in my life? What familiar spirit is attached to it?
What is the spirit behind my thinking, my words & actions?
Examples of : Depression, unbelief, shame, regret, idolatry (money, prestige, fame, possessions, positions), lust of the flesh…
Mar 7:6-13
(6) ‘this people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (7) and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ (8) for laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men… (13) making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down.
ASK God to forgive this & remove the bondage of it from your soul
7. REPENT of UNDBELIEF, not trusting God, unholy fear, and of ‘self’
Fears often originate from misplaced pride leading to a superior spirit (expecting and/or thinking of ourself higher). Hypocrisy, perfectionism, self-preservation & self-realization causes often inferiority, unrealistic pressure & anxiety.
Instead: Trust & yield to God.
The One who desire to manifests Himself through the gifts of the Holy Spirit – as He chooses in/through you/Body of Christ.
For the glory of His name, His kingdom, His church.
Fear of man, fear of lack, fear of death, insignificance in this life, harm, failure, destitute, false humility… often lead to overprotection of ourself, distrusting God to keep us.
8. REPENT of all forms of SELF-PITY, lack of worth, allowing rejection to identify us.
Not accepting ourself. Not appreciating how God made us. Not embracing God who lives in us therefore, striving with God & man.
1Jn 4:16-21
(16) we have known & believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
We should love ourselves & others as ourselves:
Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Also, peace in yourself.
9. Stand in the gap for your BLOODLINE, TRIBE & CULTURE
Mal 2:2
If you will not hear, if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name,” Says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart.
Sever yourself (break away) from all ungodly altars: ancestral, demonic, unrighteous / idolatrous beliefs, cultural customs, organizations, religious actions / deeds.
Rev3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, & I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will confess his name before My Father, before His angels.
10. RECEIVE His complete FORGIVENESS through the sacrificial death of Christ in our place on the cross.
Through the power of His own blood, we are set free.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit
Heb 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
Heb 12:24-25 (24)… you have come to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. No other bloodshed /sacrifice is needed!
11. By faith receive & DECLARE what God says ABOUT YOU
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
2Co 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. If God declared me whole, healed, forgiven, blessed & favoured… I should not diminish His truth. I should agree with His words over me.
Psa 139:13-18
(13) For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
(14) I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
(15) My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
(16) Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
(17) How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
(18) If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
12. CONFESS JESUS (Jeshua Hamashiach) as your LORD
Open the door of your heart afresh. Invite Him into ALL doors, rooms & areas of your life in utmost trust, faith & dependency upon Him. Nothing is hidden from His sight.
Isa 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
2Co 6:2 For He says: “in an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
13. ASSURANCE of Salvation
Understand that assurance of your salvation is based on Scripture, NOT on how you feel or based on your emotions or the circumstances in your life.
Rom 10:13 Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Joh 1:12-13 (12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but born of God.
1Jn 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
14. KNOW what the Father’s MISSION is through HIS SON
To restore all mankind back into the Father’s love
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Joh 15:9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
To show us the Father. To know God into eternity
1Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
To restore us in the glory through His covenant in Jesus Christ. He gave us all things. He builds His church.
2Pe 1:2-4
(2) Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
(3) as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
(4) by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
15. Receive His HOLY SPIRIT for the REBIRTH of your spirit
He knows you. By the spirit of truth, the Father & Son live inside you & abide in you & He leads us in His truth.
Joh 3:3-5 (3) “I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (5) unless born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Joh 4:17,20-21,23 We will come… and make Our home with him.
Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ask God to continue the process of sanctification in you.
16. Choose & Confess LIVING by the SPIRIT within you
Gal 5:16-21
(16) I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (18) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
(19)Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,(20) idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, (21)envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;… those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
17. UNDERSTAND Who the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ is:
Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
Gal 5:22-26
(22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (24) And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (26) Let us not become conceited (vain), provoking one another, envying one another.
18. EMBRACE Who this Christ is Whom we revere?
Isa 9:6-7
(6) For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(7) Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,… To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Rev 1:8 “I am… “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
The Lord Yeshua Hamashiach is the Prince of peace.
