POSSESSING A POWERFUL AND FULFILLING PRAYER LIFE

March 2

hild of the King, it is of the utmost importance for you to develop a deeply, powerful and fulfilling prayer life. So many incredible miracles come to those who learn to pray in the Spirit. If you are struggling with recurring sin in your life, you need to learn to pray on a much higher level than you are now praying. If you have problems with mental attacks which are furious and don't seem to let up, you need to raise your prayer life to match and exceed your problems. If you feel powerless under a cloud of negativism and depression, you need to move on in the depth, width and breadth of your searching for your Father in prayer. Do you get the picture? No matter what is happening, or not happening, it is time to go to the “school” of prayer. You ask, "How do I increase my prayer power and prayer level?" First, strangely enough you simply ask your Father to help you, and be specific. Say, "Father, I am weak and under continuous attack in my mind, fearful, defeated, etc. and I need you to send to me people who are powerful in prayer. Help me to go places where people are praying who really do get answers and breakthroughs in their prayer lives." When you pray this way, you signal your Father that you are serious about your surrender to Him and your desire to enter the Holy of Holies of prayer. If you have been a "carnal" self-centered Christian and do not intend to "die to yourself" and allow the Spirit of Christ to have the preeminence, then you are not going to the next level. However, if you are sick of sin and if you are through living on a low level and truly want to die to yourself, you will be given the gift of prayer on a higher and more effective level. Remember child, "as your prayer life goes, so goes your life in this world"--- weak prayer life = weak life in the world and before God. You can no longer afford the luxury of "picking and choosing" your life in Christ, you must come to discover the Spirit-filled life of prayer and worship. There is far too much evil in the atmosphere around you for you to stay where you are and not go higher with the Lord in prayer. To the weak, poorly committed Christian will come many destructive "arrows" from the enemy to afflict and destroy! This is serious. Second, pray, "Father, see if there is any wicked way in me, and that you deliver me from it.” You should confess any hidden sins, and seek for the cleansing of the Lord through the blood of Jesus. In other words, clear the atmosphere between you and God, thus giving no room for the devil to operate in your life. Child of God you must decide to become a lifetime praying person who seriously enters this prayer with all your strength and passion. You will succeed, I guarantee it!

Father, I cannot pray effectively without the power and ministry of your Holy Spirit teaching me and guiding me to greater heights of prayer and worship. I will find a place where people pray and worship sincerely and I will cast down my protests them and join in on a greater level of prayer and victory, in Jesus’ name, amen
