In our journey of #faith, it’s essential to sharpen our swords & deepen our knowledge & understanding of Scripture. Just as a Warrior prepares for battle, we too must equip ourselves with the Word of God, essentials of Faith and Prayer.

What is Prayer ?

Prayer is communication with the FATHER. A simple conversation, no fancy words, just simple words, with a transparent heart, and a humble spirit.

Guide to Prayer

The guide to PRAYER is found in MATHEW 6:9-13

OUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN

RECOGNIZE WHO GOD IS, AND WHERE HE RESIDES, ALSO REALIZE THE POWER HE HOLDS IN HIS HAND. GOD IS OUR FATHER, AND WE ARE HIS CHILDREN. WHEN WE COME TO OUR FATHER, WE ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS THE FATHER OF OUR LIFE, WHO PROTECTS US, GUIDES US, AND PROVIDES FOR US. HE IS A GOOD GOOD FATHER, AND GIVES GOOD GIFTS TO HIS CHILDREN.

HOLY BE YOUR NAME

HALLOWED IS ANOTHER WORD FOR “HOLY”, DO YOU MAGNIFY HIS NAME, DO YOU LIFT UP HIS NAME, OR ARE YOU COMING TO HIM WITH PROBLEMS? GO AHEAD AND MAGNIFY HIS NAME, AND TELL HIM HOW WONDERFUL HE IS IN YOUR LIFE.

YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

WE AS INTERCESSORS OF CHRIST, MUST PRAY FORTH HIS WILL. HIS WILL, IS FOR HIS KINGDOM TO APPEAR IN ALL IT’S GLORY. THERE IS A HEAVENLY KINGDOM THAT IS ALREADY IN THE MIDST, AND WE MUST PRAY FORTH THE KINGDOM TO MANIFEST IN THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE, ON THIS EARTH, THROUGH HIS EARTHLY VESSELS.

GIVE US OUR DAILY BREAD

STOP ASKING FOR A CAR, A NEW HOUSE, BRAND NEW CLOTHES, ASK FOR DAILY BREAD, THAT WHICH IS NEEDED, FOR A DAY. HE WILL PROVIDE ALL OF YOUR NEEDS, ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES, AND HIS GLORY. STOP STRESSING SO MUCH, JUST GIVE IT TO GOD! IF GOD PROVIDES FOR THE BIRDS, AND CLOTHES LILIES IN THE FIELD, WHAT IS MEN?

AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS

WHO ARE OUR DEBTORS? THOSE WHO OWE US, OR WE FEEL, THEY OWE US. WE MUST FORGIVE OUR OFFENDERS, AND OUR LENDERS, IF WE EXPECT GOD TO FORGIVE US. WE MUST COVER OUR OFFENDERS, WITH GRACE, SO GOD CAN COVER US WITH GRACE. WE MUST EXTEND THE HAND OF MERCY, AND FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS, AS HE FORGIVES OUR DEBTS. ALL OF OUR DEBTS ARE PAID ON THE CROSS, 2000 YEARS AGO, WE MUST ALSO FORGIVE. RIGHT NOW THINK OF ANYONE WHO HAS DONE YOU WRONG, AND IN YOUR HEART FORGIVE THEM, THAT IS THE FIRST STEP TO RECEIVING FORGIVENESS FROM GOD.

AND LEAD NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE

PRAY THAT GOD DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE, SOMETIMES IT’S OUR OWN FLESH, AND OTHER TIMES IT’S THE DEVIL, NEVERTHELESS, PRAY THAT GOD DELIVERS US FROM THE TEMPTATIONS, AND EVIL DESIRES OF OUR FLESH. PRAY THAT GOD MAKES A WAY, AND COVERS US, WHEN TEMPTATIONS COME.

FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM, FOREVER AND EVER

REALIZE THAT YOU ARE NOT THE KING OF GOD’S CASTLE, AND THAT HE IS OVER YOU. HE SETS UP KINGS, AND HE REMOVES THEM. NOTHING ON THIS EARTH LAST FOREVER, HIS KINGDOM LAST FOREVER. YOU MUST WALK IN HUMILITY BEFORE THE KING WHO RULES YOUR CASTLE. ACKNOWLEDGE HIS PLACE IN YOUR HEART, AND GIVE HIM AUTHORITY TO RULE IN YOUR HEART.

AMEN

THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE YES AND AMEN

OPEN YOUR HEART, AND JUST TALK TO HIM!

WHEN YOU PRAY THIS PLAYER, SEAL YOUR PRAYER WITH AMEN, AS AN AGREEMENT TO THE PROMISES OF GOD, AND WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DECLARED into the atmosphere.

Forms of Prayer

Prayer is the foundation of our relationship with God. Whether you’re making requests, praising Him, interceding for others, or giving thanks—each prayer carries power and authority.

My Prayer Template

Lead me Lord, and I will follow, lead me Lord and I will go. You have called me, I have answered, lead me lord, I am here!

You never leave us, nor forsake us. You hold us with your righteous hand. You provide for our daily needs. We lack nothing. No good thing is withheld from us. We are the apple of your eye, hidden under the shadow of your wings. Resting safely in your embrace. We are strengthened, encouraged, empowered this morning to do great and mighty works. My soul knows this very well.

Forgive me my trespasses Lord. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from all evil. Overlook any offenses that I have caused, and any offenses done to me. I cover myself, my family. Everything that belongs to me, is under my authority! Power and dominion is in my hand, the blood of Jesus covers me, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Create in me a clean heart, renew a right spirit in me. Examine my heart Lord, see if there’s any wicked thing in me, remove it far from me. Finish your good work in me, complete what you started in me. Establish your good works, and plans for my life. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Remove impure thoughts from me, align me with your holy spirit.

All my thoughts belong to you my mind stays on you. Every agenda, plot, scheme that the enemy will have against me today, I nullify it’s works now. No evil shall befall me, no disaster come near me. Command your angels to guard me in all of my ways.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper in any kind of way. Every thought, that rises against me in judgment is silenced, and condemned in Jesus Name. Power and authority belongs to me. I am the righteousness of God.

All that I have, all that I am belongs to you. You are in charge of everything I am, and everything I do. I glorify your work Lord. You are making all things beautiful in your timing. Your thoughts are good for me, plans to prosper me, give me a hope and the future, give me an expected end.

Let your light shine on my ways! Establish your good works in my life, amen!
