Supernatural results through the power of prayer.

You ask and you do not receive because you ask amiss; Therefore be accurate about what the word says in prayer and not pomp up your opinions with unnecessary emotional fillers.

James 5:16-19;Luke 18:1;John 15:7;Matthew 11:24;Matthew 6:5;Isaiah 35:4-7

Dear Friend,
The only way to live beyond your natural abilities is to engage God in spirit and truth. This means that even though we live in our bodies, we have to live in the reality of what the word of God’s says irrespective of what the senses dictate. Prayer is one medium we utilize to bring supernatural results to bear in our lives and in the lives of others. Even though the exhibition of prayer may be seen as using only the natural faculties of man, effective prayer is born from a heart that is rich in faith because it is rooted and grounded in the word of God.

We have said time after time that God desires that each one of us walks in dominion on earth as kings and priests . However we cannot rule our world if we do not connect with God through prayer. Jesus commanded us to always pray so that we do not fall under the dictates of the limitations of natural life. If we do not pray we will always faint under the slightest pressure. Remember the bible says in the book of proverbs that when we faint in the time of challenges, it points to the fact that we have not been able to draw supernatural strength from God, therefore we faint. When we do not pray we forfeit our mercies and the strength we need. In Hebrews 4:16 we are invited to come boldly to the throne of grace so that we can obtain grace and help we need to live beyond our abilities.

Elijah affected his world supernaturally through prayer born out of faith from his heart based on his knowledge of God’s will. Years before ,it had been stated by God in Deuteronomy that whenever the people of Israel disobeyed God, the heavens was going to refuse rain on earth. Elijah believed that word in his generation and earnestly prayed with all his heart and his petition was granted. It did not rain for three years and six months. One man was able to change his environment. No matter what you are going through you can change your world if only you will confidently take God’s word back to Him. God has a sweet rest and rich place for you which can only be accessed through prayer.

God does not just answer utterances we make, He is looking to answer those things you say in prayer with faith from your heart..Those things I believe that I receive at the time of prayer is what I have. You do not need to know too many scriptures. Taking time to meditate on the scriptures is what generates the faith. When you pray;

Talk to God from your heart based on what He has already said concerning the need. Do not impress men!

When you pray do not use vain repetition, choose clarity over multitude of words and unnecessary emotional fillers.

Speaking in tongues is one sure way to let the Holy Spirit help you to pray right.
Expect results from your prayer always.
