12 Step program for a
progressive Prayer Life
1. Pray
2. Pray
3. Pray
4. Pray
Repeat
first four steps two more times.
Just
be obedient and submission to the Father.
Praying integrated with reality.
Keep your prayers
focused.
Praying with precision is the key.
Remember to record how
the Father responds to your prayers, He hears and answers.
When
you have tried everything else, Try Tears! Today we seem much more
interested in having churches air conditioned then
prayer-conditioned. Because most of the churches have lost Holy Ghost
fire – but we can get into our own prayer closets and interceed.
Prayer
is the portal that brings the power of heaven down to earth. Write
out your prayers so you won't forget: who the real enemy is – who
the One is in whom your hope lies.
In
praying give: Praise and gratitude to the Father for who He is and
what He has already done.
Repentance
– Ps. 52:10 Create
in me a clean heart, O G-d; and renew a right spirit within
me.
Jer.
29:12-13
Then
shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will
hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall
search for Me with all your heart.
Deut.
30:6 And
the L-RD thy G-d will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy
seed, to love the L-RD thy G-d with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul, that thou mayest live.
Eph.
6:12 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.
Rom.
8:38-39 For
I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of G-d, which is in Y'shua HaMashiach our L-rd.
Ps.
30:1 I
will extol thee, O L-RD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not
made my foes to rejoice over me.
Ps. 138:7
Though
I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt
stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy
right hand shall save me.
2 Chron. 20:15, 17
And
he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the L-RD unto you, Be not afraid
nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not
yours, but G-d's. Ye
shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye
still, and see the salvation of the L-RD with you, O Judah and
Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them:
for the L-RD will be with you.
That
which is born in prayer will survive the test of the promises of G-d.
In that great day, the fire of judgement is going to test that which
is born in prayer. Prayer does business with G-d. Prayer creates
hunger for souls; hunger for souls creates prayer. The understanding
soul prays; the praying soul gets understanding.
Prov.
16:6 teaches us that 'through the fear of the L-rd, man avoids evil.'
Prayer is the active practice of fearing G-d. To fear G-d is to pray.
Desire
goes before prayer. Desire gradually builds until it breaks forth
into prayer. Desire is silent; prayer is the verbal expression of the
desire of our hearts. Our failure to pray stems from our lack of
desire for G-d.
The
degree to which you love and want G-d will determine the time you
spend in prayer. It's time to start seeking the Healer instead of the
healing. It's time to stop seeking the gift and, instead, seek the
Giver. Once you have G-d, you have all that He possesses. Do you have
a lack of spiritual power shortage?
James 4:3 Ye ask, and
receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your
lust.
The true purpose in
prayer is that G-d may be glorified in the answer.
Anyone who desires
power in prayer must be merciless in dealing with their own sins.
Mark 11:25 And when ye
stand praying, FORGIVE. If ye have aught against any: that your
Father, also, which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Remind yourself and the
devil that you are G-d's child and you have a right to come to the
Father.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to
Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know.
Mark 11:14 Therefore I
say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you
receive them, and you will have them.
Pray
in Tongues -
1 Cor. 2:12 I have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from
G-d, that I might know the things that have been freely given to me
by G-d.
1 Cor. 14:2 He that
speaketh in an unknown tongue, speakes not unto man, but unto G-d;
for no man understandes Him; howbeit in the Spirit he speakes
mysteries.
1 Cor. 14:4 He that
speakes in an unknown tongue edifies himself.
1 Cor. 14:14 For if I
pray in an unkown tongue, my spirith prayes
1 cor. 14:2; Acts 10:46
It is a way of magnifying G-d.
Eph. 6:10-18 It is part
of our weapon against the devil.
The
importance of praying the Word of G-d. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All
Scripture is given by inspiration of
G-d
and when used it will cause us to be complete, thoroughly equipped
for every good work.
Y'
Shua used the Word against the devil. Lk. 4:4 It is written!
Lk.
4:8 Get behind Me satan!
Lk.
4:12 It has been said.
At
times it helps to
remind yourself and the devil of your position in the Messiah. Make
the following confessions:
Lk. 10:19 Y'Shua has
given me the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me.
In
Y'Shua I have Life and that life is the light of all men.
Jn. 1:4 In
him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1 Cor. 3:9 I am G-d's
fellowworker; I am G-d's field, I am G-d's building.
1 Cor. 3:16 I am the
temple of G-d and the Spirit of G-d dwells in me.
Eph. 2:5, 6; 1:21 G-d
has made me alive with the Messiah and raised me up and made me sit
in heavenly places in the Messiah Y'Shua, far above all principality
and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not
only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Eph. 2:14 Messiah
Y'Shua is my peace!
Eph. 3:12 I have
boldness and access with confidence through faith in Y'Shua
HaMashiach to the Father.
Phil. 4:13 I can do all
thing through Messiah that strengthens me.
2 Tim. 1:7 G-d has
given me the Spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind.
1 Jn. 4:4 I am of G-d
and have overcome demon powers, because He who is in me is greater
than he who is in the world.
Without
exception, all true revivals of the past began after years of
agonizing, hell-robbing, earth-shaking, heaven-sent intercessions.
The secret to true revival in our own day is still the same. But
were, of, where, are the intercessors?
When
holy passion has ceased to move the intercessors in the Prayer Room,
is there no longer a birthplace of souls?
The
true man of G-d is heartsick, Grieved at the worldliness of the
church, Grieved at the blindness of the church, Grieved at the
corruption in the church, Grieved at the toleration of sin in the
church.He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the church no
longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil. Church folks no longer
cry in their despair before a devil-ridden, sin-man society, Why
could we not cast him out? Matt. 17:19 - changes have to come to
have revival.
Those
who have travailed in the birth pangs for revival, those are the
hidden ones. They never strut. They boast not of the hours they spend
in prayer. Their souls bear the scars of spiritual conflict.
Our
poverty in prayer is the seed bed of all our failure. Here in the
place of prayer is where the pure in heart see G-d. They see His
majesty. They see His grief over a world of sinners paying any price
and every price for a smooth ride to hell.
So
calling all intercessors to their prayer closet. Stand in the gap for
your family, friends and even your enemies. Get down and get dirty
their souls are crying out!
Prayer
demands no special dress.
Prayer
demands no special place.
Prayer
demands special eloquence.
Prayer
never struts.
Prayer
seeks no applause.
Prayer
is often most mighty when it is most secret.
Prayer
is defies definition.
Prayer
is birthed in time, but it grasps eternity.
Prayer
strengthens the weak and weakens the strong.
Prayer
touches the power of the world to come.
Our
ultimate position as Believers is tested by the power of our prayer
life.
There
is another stage-praying in the Holy Ghost. This is the highest form
of prayer. It is inner groanings, it is inner grief, it is totally
spiritual, and it is weakening to the flesh but devastating to the
powers of darkness.
I'm
of the opinion that the devil has a list of the 'Ten Most Wanted
People. These are the ones he fears.Would you like to be one of them?
Oh,
to pray so as to be known in hell!
Oh,
to pray so that demons have to quit their prey!
Oh,
to cause pandemonium in perdition when we intercede!
Oh,
to liberate the captives when we make intercession with tears!
Oh,
to push the devil around instead of him pushing the church around!
Oh,
to know the groanings that cannot be uttered!
This
was all inspired by the movie War Room, I was inspired to put my own
personal prayers down on
paper using ___________ to fill in names, for many prayers fit
everyone. A forerunner for beginners seemed to be needed as an
example of starting, but allow the Father to lead you.
