Prayer




Luke 11 verses 1-4 “And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.2 and he said unto them, when ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our bread. 4 and forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Jesus is a man of prayer that was why the disciples asked him to teach them what he knows. Prayer needs to be learned. Jesus taught them to always reference God our  Father in heaven, he also taught them to ask God for his will to be done on earth as in heaven ( make them to always praise and worship like the angels are doing in heaven), he also said they should ask for their daily bread, forgiveness of sins, protection and deliverance from evil.

The ingredients of prayer
– Clean heart and a pure heart (Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord……….)
– You must be righteous ( The effectual prayer of the righteous ……….)
– Forgive others Matthew 6 verses 14- 15
– Ask purposefully Matthew 7 verse 7

 

The believer’s weapons

11 Corinthians 10 verses 3-5

In this teaching we shall be looking at the various weapons that are available to the believers. In 11 Corinthians 10 verse 3- 5, the Bible says

“ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

what the scripture is telling us is that believers need weapons that are not man-made but divinely made and backed up by God. Why do we need weapons that are not carnal? Because we are fighting the invisible forces of darkness in high places as stated in Ephesians 6 verse 11- 12

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Let us examine some of the weapons that are available to believers that can be used against the unseen forces of darkness:-

The name of the Lord: Proverbs 18 verse 10 “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”

The blood of Jesus: Revelation 12 verse 11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”

The word of God: Hebrew 4 verse 12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any Two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Anointed Leaders: James 5 verses 14- 15 “ Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”

Fasting : Matthew 17 verse 21 “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”

Prayer and singing Hymns :Acts 16 verses 25 – 26 “ And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.”

Fire: Jeremiah 23 verse 29 “ Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” and 2 Kings 1 verse 9- 12

“Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. 10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. 12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.”

The Night or Vigil : Exodus 12 verse 42 “It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing
them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.”

Faith : Mark 11 verse 23 “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

Are you tormented by the unseen forces of darkness or under constant attack from the coven of darkness or maybe you a victim of the weapons of darkness, it’s time to start winning your battles using any of the available weapons that are available. In 1 Samuel 17 verses 45- 50

“Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.”

As David prevailed over Goliath and as Fire came and devoured the captain and the fifty, I’m praying unto God for your life that all the weapons mentioned above shall give you total victory over your enemies in the name of Jesus.

Prayer

1. I overcome Satan and satanic activities targeting my destiny with the blood of Jesus
2. Blood of Jesus openly disgrace all my invisible problems in the name of Jesus
3. I come against all my Goliath with the word of God and I secure total victory over then in the name of Jesus
4. Powers fighting me at night I send fire into you camp in the name of Jesus
5. By faith I bring down all the enemies occupying my position of authority in the name of Jesus
6. As I’m singing praises to God may all my enemies begin to run mad in the name of Jesus
7. The name of Jesus save me from the terror of the night and the arrows that flies by day in the name of Jesus
8. I fire back by fire every arrows of untimely death fired at me in the name of Jesus
9. I use the blood of Jesus, the name of God, faith in God, prayer, Hymns and the night to fight the enemies in the name of Jesus
10. Use all the weapons mentioned above to aggressively fight the enemies. Declare aggressively like this. I fight my invisible battles and my enemies with (mention the weapons one after the other) and I receive my victory over them in the name of Jesus
11. Again secure and recover your lost virtues back from the enemies using the weapons mentioned above
12. Thank God for granting you victory over your enemies with his weapons of warfare in the name of Jesus

Killing your Goliath

1 Samuel 17 verses 43- 53

In 1 Samuel 17 verses 43 – 53 “And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents”.

The passage explained how David prevailed over Goliath. Goliath was a trained warrior for many years. The prayer you are about to pray will destroy and completely wipe out your Goliath in the name of Jesus. Beloved, do you know that the greatest enemy of man in the battle field of life is ignorance, lack of what will work against the enemies, David through the help of God knew that sword, javelin or spare could not kill Goliath but the stone, which is the rock that the bible described in Matthew 21 verse 44 “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” The rock fell upon Goliath and was crushed to death, as you pray these prayer may all your Goliaths be it cancer, dream attack, failure at the edge of breakthrough, incurable sicknesses, satanic barriers, lack of helpers, terminal diseases shall suffer great defeat in the name of Jesus.

The Violent Christians

Matthew 11 verse 12 and Romans 8 verse 35

In Matthew 11 verse 12 the Bible says “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” and also in Romans 8 verse 35, the Bible says “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”. What we are looking at is what is called the violent Christians and our reference text shall be from the book of Daniel 3 verses 1- 30

NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, 5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: 6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 8 ¶ Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. 9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. 10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: 11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 13 ¶ Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the
midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 19 ¶ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26 ¶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach,Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.

Who are the violent Christians?

– They are those who will never bow down to the idols
– They are those who will not compromise their standard
– They are those who hate the world and love God
– They are the peace maker
– They are the power and Holy Ghost filled Christians
– They are the light in this world that disgraces darkness
– They are those with the spirit of God and are called sons of God
– They are those with the eyes that can see what no man can see
– They are those with the tongue of fire like Elijah
– They are those who are not afraid to die for the Gospel
– They are believers who will do anything for the sake of the gospel
– They are those who are conscious of heaven
– They are the radical worshippers, who worship God day and night
– They pray always and violently
– Obedient believers
– Scholars of the word, they study and do as the word says
– Radically having faith in God
– Not afraid of the enemy and their weapons
– Those with spiritual power and strength
– Those who knows their God
– Those who walk in the way of the Lord
– Those who can call down fire and disgrace the power of the enemy
– Those who have made holiness their way of life
– Believers who spend time with God always
– Those who are not afraid of persecution, war or the threat of death

The world is in dear need of violent believers who will depopulate the kingdom of darkness, spread the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, teach the world how to fight a good fight of faith, turn the heart of people away from idol worship, not afraid of the devil, disgraces the weapons of darkness, heal the sick, cast out the devil as in Mark 16 verses 17- 20

“ And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen”

and showcase the raw power of God to the entire world. But do you know that many believers who are supposed to be violent for Christ are now cold because of the followings
– Lust of the world
– Fear of intimation
– Threat of death
– Lack of faith and trust in God
– Loss of power of God
– Forces of darkness
– Prayerlessness and powerlessness

What must we do?

As Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego displayed the awesome power of God, also God expects us his children to do same in our generation. The keys to their violent behaviour were faith in God, not afraid of death and reliance on God’s word. Join in praying the prayer below if you want to be a violent believer.
