The Power of Prayer: Understanding its Role in Our Relationship with God

If God is not influenced by us, why should we pray?
If God cannot be affected by what we say, he is God . Why do we pray?

1. God is sovereign as his word
2. God is limited by his word
3. God will never violate his word.

- Whatever God speaks becomes law not only to humanity but also to himself. (He will never break his word).
- Prayer was created by limitations of Gods word.

Luke 11 : 1
WHY IS PRAYER THE ONLY THING DESCIPLES ASKED LORD TO TEACH THEM?

- Prayer is a personal thing, it's not a group thing.
- The priority of Jesus was not a ministry with men but with God.
- Jesus used to wake up very early in the morning and spend hours praying.
- After spending some time with Jesus, Disciples realized that Jesus used to spend most of his time praying and very little time doing the other tasks like casting out demons and healing the sick.
- The longer the time you spend in prayers the shorter the time you spend with earthly problems.

THE BIRTH OF PRAYER

Genesis 1:26
"Let them have Dominion over the Earth"

- God didn't include himself in Dominion over the Earth.
- The only creature that has Dominion over the Earth is the human. (Spirit in a body)
- Any Spirit without a body is illegal on Earth.
- If anything should be done on Earth legally, it should be done by Spirit with a body.
- Thats why God could not interfere when Eve was picking the fruit.
- Christmas was possible because of God's word. Jesus had to be born for God to come to the Earth legally.

Isaiah 9:6
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.."

- Mary produced the body, God gave the spirit.
- Jesus was human but Christ was the spirit.

- PRAYER IS GOD RECEIVING LICENSE FROM MAN TO INTERFERE ON EARTH.
- God needs us to impart our city
- Jesus said, I have given you the keys of the Kingdom...
- God is committed to your body thats why he provides healing.
- He needs my body to be legal on Earth.
- Whatever we bind Heaven binds, whatever we lose Heaven lose.
- God heals you for his sake, to use you for his righteous purposes.
- WHEN​ MAN STOP PRAYING, GOD STOPS WORKING.
