YOU WILL NEVER SKIP PRAYING

We got to know that we cannot be causal about our prayer life and yet expect to live a successful and victorious life.  Prayer is not begging but connecting with God.  What does prayer do?  It aligns your spirit man with the Holy Spirit.  So, his presence, his wisdom, his plans, and purposes for our lives can be fulfilled through us.  Most of the time we are only focused on what we think.  We should be achieving in life not considering consulting with the Holy Spirit.  God, we understand we are men and women of destiny and that God has a plan for our lives, and that these plans generally are far bigger than what you can achieve in your strength.  You will know how helpless you are without God. 

But I thank God with him I can do all things.  Don’t give up, don’t cave in, don’t throw your arms up in the air and say I don’t know what’s going to happen, No. If God is in charge of our lives, even if it seems impossible begin to pray and say, Lord, I am available.  Flow through me, my God.  Let your will and your purpose be fulfilled through my life.  Let your name be magnified.  The more we can spend time in his presence praying in the Holy Spirit not just from our lips but from the depth of our hearts because Listen, “Deep calls it unto deep   Amen.  So, from the depths of our hearts, we need to learn to call unto God.  He promised when we call, he will answer. 

So, if we are not finding answers that means the call is not really from the depths of our hearts.  Because God is not about to lie, because he never lied and he will never lie.   So, if you said it, he’s about to do it but we have to learn to connect with what is demanded of us.  And connect with the Spirit of God so he can flow and fulfill his promises.  He is moved when the cries come from the inside and not just a lip service kind of prayer.  Let the prayer rise from within.  We need to learn to be the people of prayer.  Father, speak to me.  Let your wisdom prevail, let God give me the light that I can see, that I can understand, that I can flow.  We desperately need God.  I tell you the days are not getting better they may even get worse.  But amid darkness, my light has come.   He will never leave us in darkness.  Wherever we are his light will shine and he will guide us.  So that we are not trapped like the rest of the world but we will always find a way where there is no way because his light has come.  Amen. 

Be encouraged.  Don’t look at yourself as somebody like or anybody that is in the world.  You are special. He said,” you are the apple of my eye. “He said, “I have carved you on the palms of my hands.”  “You are special.”  God loves you and god wants to care for you and god wants to provide for you but we have to learn how to approach him.  You might have a lot of money in the bank.  Sitting there.  It is your money.   But there is a protocol to be able o extract that.  It is yours.  The name your name is on It.  But you can’t just walk into the bank and say give me my money. 

They will not.  They will say who are you?  You will say no, I have money I can prove it.  They will say yes, we know you can prove it but use the protocol to get it.  So, in the same way, we have all the promises but there is a protocol involved in coming into his presence and laying hold on what God has promised for us. It doesn’t happen automatically.  The only way is to learn and understand how to develop our relationship with God and understand the protocols involved.  So that we can possess and we can lay hold off and draw what God has already promised for us.  One of the most important ingredients in the protocol or one of the most important steps in the protocol is prayer. Do you know that Daniel was a man of great wisdom?   Look, the demonic world, the midst, and the Persians there were spirits, there were principalities.  When Daniel prayed God sent Gabriel.  Gabriel was not stopped by a normal devil but by the Prince of Persia.  Some principalities control territories. 

Daniel was appointed leader over not only Godly aspects but even the magicians, the astrologers of the demonic world.  So, you can see how they recognize Daniel. The kind of connection he had with the supernatural realm was far greater than the connection that they had or the supernatural world that they could move in.  There are supernatural powers.  There is something that you cannot bind and cast out because there is a hierarchy in heaven in the heavenly realm both in the spiritual divine spiritual realm and also the demonic spiritual realm.   As powerful as God is and as powerful as Jesus is he did not cast our sin away.  Can you cast your sin away? NO.  There was a price that had to be paid.  There are things you can cast away but there are things which you have to pay a price.  Don’t trivialize, don’t say well I can just cast out any devil, yes you can.  There is a realm at which as you grow in the spiritual realm you have authority that is given unto you to operate at that level.

Try opposing and trying to bind a devil that is above your capacity.  You’re in trouble.  You are biting too much that you cannot chew.  It is in prayer and with the understanding of the word you grow in your capacity and you grow in your authority. When Gabriel was stopped, It was the prince of Persia who had authority over that land.  That was a territorial spirit. For him to move aside Michael had to come.  When there was a Battle going on over the body of Moses to be buried.  Satan and St. Michael were there battling over the dead body of Mosses.  Do you know what Michael said?   The Lord rebuke you.   Why didn’t Michael say I cast you out?  He never says I abjure you.  He said,” the lord adjures you.  Do you know why?  Because Satan when he was Lucifer had the authority that was given to him by God.  He was one of the top-ranking angels.  Even after he fell, he is recognized as a power.  In the story of Job, he appears before God.  There is so much in the world that we don’t understand. And it is only as we pray these understandings and revelations will come to us and we begin to see and say, “Oh my God I never heard this before or saw this before.”  

When Jesus was casting out demons from the person in Gadarene, you know what they said?  Don’t cast us out of this territory.  Some spirits are assigned to territories.  So, when we are praying it’s not praying Lord to get more people. Some spirits are controlling people from not getting saved, not listening to the word, being distracted, being dissuaded, and not coming close to God.  So, as we pray God will open our eyes so we can battle against these things and bind those forces wherever we need to bind and we move in the authority of God.  It’s not just saying give me more souls, give me my more soul, yes, that is a cry but you have to understand that there’s an operation that is involved in the spiritual realm that is to be dealt with.  That’s why we need to pray.   A praying church is a thriving church but most often we are turning a church into an entertainment center.  Hardly much prayer happens That’s why people have attracted the entertainment but not the power. The power of God has to be exhibited.  The power of God has to be manifested.  The power of God has to set people free from all kinds of bondages, addictions, sickness, and disease.  That’s The gospel. 

Getting people saved, getting them out of the bondage of the enemy, and bringing them into the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. But that doesn’t happen through entertainment it happens through power.  Power is accessed only through prayer.   Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days praying.  Who was with him?  Satan was there.  Who showed up after 40 days?  Not the angel, not God.  Understand that we have a real enemy out there that doesn’t want us to succeed in life. That does not want us to be a testimony for the glory of God.  That wants to douse our fire for God and kill the appetite for prayer.  To do that he doesn’t say don’t pray he gives you distractions.  The example you can pray watch this first, you can pray and eat, and you can pray and sleep first.  So, these are all legitimate excuses for not praying.  You can justify your action for not praying but the result is that you become weak.  And that’s his plan. When you’re weak, weak is easy for him to come against you and pull you down.  So, please listen, my brothers and sisters and the people of the church we have a real enemy out there that plans to kill, steal, and destroy everything.  So, whether you like it or not force your flesh to pray.  We have to learn to pray. 

Come my brothers and sisters let us kneel now and bow down and pray to God to touch us, God will speak to us, and something will happen in our lives.  Come. Let us pray.  The fire of the Holy Ghost will burn within you causing a new desire to pray.  Father, we all belong to you.  We are your children.  Holy spirit god birth a new fire in us.  Birth a new hunger in us, birth a new desire Lord God to pray, to seek you, your presence oh God O spirit of God come fall afresh upon us.  Let your power flow by God I pray not only for those that are reading it but for all your people everywhere who are struggling to come, to open your mouth and say God come fall afresh upon us.  Amen
