The Answer to Your Questions: PRAYER

 

James 5:11

It was Jan 6, 2019, actually the first message I heard for the new Year, "Prevailing Prayer" given by the Messenger Bishop John Guns.  Now, some preachers holler, some sing their sermons, and/or have a feel-good message which is fine if it draws you to Christ.  I like Bishop John Guns because he educates.  When you leave listening to him you are going to know what, why who, how, when, and where and feel convicted and blessed all at the same time.  What a great year to start out with Prayer! 

What:  Prayer:      Communication with God, an opportunity for God to show up in our lives

                              It is NOT OPTIONAL.  It is a MIGHTY Weapon for Spiritual Warfare. 

                                  "It is a force that moves the hand that moves the world"

Why:    Holy Spirit will show up; When you pray God moves (Prayer heals, and changes occur)

Who:    I am a follower of Jesus; Prayer should be my natural habit:    1John 3:23

How:    1. Your heart must be right.  You have to do right for prayers to be effective: 1John 3:13

            2. Come clean and confess your sins (acknowledge what you are doing)

            3. You must have confidence in your prayer

            4. Listen to God (shhh for a moment...or two) Proverbs 1:28-33

            5. Be intentional:  Faith (be doers of the Word)

When:    All the time (even with small things); Prayer should NEVER be the last resort. 

Where:    Anywhere/ All Places

"Quality of Prayer is based on your walk with God"

We all need a Right NOW prayer! Prevailing (current, most frequent, existing.... aka: NOW)

Now for the hard truths (I thank God for working on me) ........

* When you are mad what do you do? -  Do you pop off or begin to profess God Word "No Weapon..."

* When you are scared (sick or hurt) what do you do? - Do you go to science only/panic or Call on God

* When you are blessed what do you do? - Self absorb or give God the Glory

* When things start going wrong what do you do? - Blame others or yourself or Worship God!

* When your friend or someone you see is not doing well or is sad, WHAT DO YOU DO?

you say:  "I will pray for you". or "you will be in my prayers"... you leave their sight...it left your mind 

or do you Pray right then and NOW!

"When it comes to prayer - don't hang up...hang on"- unknown 

It is now 2022, Happy New Year!!!  Let's get serious about Prayer!!!  Still Prevailing!!

                                                        John 15:7
