t is a well-known fact that prayer reflects how big or small GOD is in your life. Prayer is the number one direct line of communication with GOD.
And if your communication is small or weak your prayers are small and weak. Some of us think when we pray that GOD should conform to our way of thinking and fulfill our wants and needs, but it is the exact opposite.
The key to a successful prayer is to find out spiritually what GOD will do within HIS word. What I mean is, GOD has a design in place already, truth's that were written in scripture, HE has already established covenants and promises. With prayer and perseverance we can interact with GOD and draw from HIM of HIS will for our lives. Like with children, GOD has already decided that without us asking HIM, HE will not openly give.
John 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Philippians 4:5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6. do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Mark 11: 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray continually,
Daniel 2 New International Version (NIV)
16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him. 17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.
Daniel 9 New International Version (NIV)
2. in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
Daniel communicated with GOD based on a Spiritual connection as you can see from reading the scripture, he read what the scripture had said, then prayed the outcome. He was able to stand on GODS words by allowing his mind and actions to be part of GODS written will.
Now during this time he never stop praying he prayed for weeks,(Daniel 10:2) little did he know that GOD answered Daniels prayer on the first day, but Satan intervened and held the angel up from delivering. We have made GOD so small that no wonder sickness and disease is running rampant, as long as Christians can stand slightly above what is perceived to be wrong in society then automatically in their eyes all is ok. GOD is in heaven when we bring HIM down to our level and compare HIM to our circumstances then we are no longer serving HIM we are expecting HIM to serve us.
Ephesians 3
10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
The purpose of each shirt is to remind you of how wonderfully and Spiritually made you are, in JESUS CHRIST and keeps scripture on our tongues.
