a new light to praying

A successful prayer life means that 100% of your prayers are answered.

Prayer is more than just asking blessings from God. Prayer is a communicating with God. It is not a one-way conversation but it involves both God and us.

I grew up praying ‘ God I want this, and that, please give me this…please make this happen, please bless me…’ And I really praise God for learning how to pray a faith-filled prayer, standing on the promises in the Bible and really making my prayers come true.

So, lets start… 

1. A good prayer is like a good debate or argument. It must be based on something concrete….eg law, textbook. To have an effective prayer, be sure it is supported by the Word of God. If you are asking God for healing, find healing scriptures that support your prayer.

Isaiah 55:11 NKJV
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

We know that if we pray according to the word of God, we know it will be accomplished and not only that, it will prosper.

2. Pray with faith. Ask with faith. Faith in God and in His words.

Heb 11:6 NKJV
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.          

There is so much to talk about faith. Faith is basic of our belief and it is very important because faith pleases God.

3. Think positive. It starts with your thoughts. Guard your every thought and reject the thoughts that will steal your faith.

Prov 4:23 NKJV
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.

We get our thoughts from what we see, read and hear. And all this will generate the way we think, talk and act.

Luke 6:45 NKJV
For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 

Think positive and act positive. If you are believing for finance breakthrough but going around testifying that you are poor, this is not acting according to what you believe. This doesn’t mean we should deny our circumstances but putting the word into our circumstances. It is like “even though I am not feeling well now, but the Words say that by His stripes I am healed. (1 peter 2:24)” and continue to confess the word and stand on it!

4. Meditate on the promises of God.

The bible is full of treasures for you to discover.

John 15:7-8  NKJV
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

And finally…

1 John 5:14-15 NKJV
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Know what you are praying for, find the verses and promises in the Bible and have faith.

God is not a liar….whatever He has promised, He’ll keep it…

Num 23:19 NKJV
God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

So, start praying a powerful prayer today and expect to see it answered!
