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.

Unlocking the Power of Prayer: Understanding its Role in Granting Earthly Authority to Heavenly Interference

-PRAYER is the most misunderstood Kingdom concept and also the most important Kingdom concept.
-PRAYER is the ambassadors number one priority.
-WITHOUT GOD MAN CANNOT, AND WITHOUT MAN GOD WILL NOT. In other words without God's power Man cannot do anything in the world and without Man's authority God cannot do anything in the Earth. We have the authority but God has the power.

Genesis 1:26(KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Dfn: PRAYER IS EARTHLY LICENSE FOR HEAVENLY INTERFERENCE.

- The most powerful creature on Earth is the human.
- Human is the spirit being living in a dirt body.
- Any spirit without a earthly/dirt body is illegal on Earth.
- The most powerful weapon you pocess on Earth is your body, that's why when you loose your body you are dead and you have to leave. Spirits don't die only the body which dies.
- Demon pocession is simply a demonic spirit trying to use your body so that it can become legal on Earth for it to work.
- God chose to become illegal on Earth when he said let them have Dominion.
- GOD himself cannot interfere in this planet unless you allow him to interfere. This doesn't mean that he is not powerful, He is only binded by His words "Let them", he did not include Himself in the authority of the running of the Earth.

PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER

1. The legal authority to Dominate Earth was given to HUMANS​
2. God did not include himself in the legal authority on Earth.
3. Man became the legal steward of earthly domain.
4. Only spirits in a physical body is legal on Earth.
5. Any spirit without a dirt body is illegal on Earth that's include God himself.
6. Any supernatural influence on Earth is only legal through a Human.

- Why did God not interfere when Eve was picking the fruit? If God interfered, he could have gone against​ his word ( let them have Dominion)
- Satan needed a body that's why he used the body of serpent to become legal on Earth.
- When Adam and Eve sinned the holy Spirit left because the body was contaminated, and His spirit could not live in us.
- That's why God had to become a Man.
- Jesus made Christ legal, Christ was God and Jesus was the Man.
- When God wanted to judge Sodom and Gomorrah he used Abraham to give him permission.
- When God wanted to save the children of Israel from the slavery, he used Moses. When Moses spoke God makes it happen.

LAWS OF PRAYER

1. The legal authority on Earth is in the hands​ of Human.
2. God will never violate the laws of his word.
3. Nothing can ever happen on Earth without mankind allowing it.
4. God cannot interfere on Earth without cooperation of man.
5. Mankind holds the power of license on Earth. God has the power but mankind has the authority.

JOHN 5:27 kjv
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

- In John 5, Jesus used two words to describe himself. Son of man and son of God,
- What gave Him authority to do all what he used to do is because of part of him being a Son of man, Son of man has authority and son of God has power.

When we pray, we give God permission to interfere. If we don't pray, nothing will happen. That's why we ought to pray always.

The Importance of Worshiping in Spirit and Truth: Understanding the True Meaning of Christian Worship

The meaning of “worship” is “to fall down before” or “bow down before.” Worship is a state (an attitude) of spirit. Since it’s an internal, individual action, it could/should be done most of the time (or all the time) in our lives, regardless of place or situation (John 4:21). Therefore, Christians worship all the time, seven days a week. When Christians formally gather together in worship, still the emphasis should be on individually worshiping the Lord. Even in a congregation, participants need to be aware that they are worshiping God fully on an individual basis. The nature of Christian worship is from the inside out and has two equally important parts. We must worship “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24). Worshiping in the spirit has nothing to do with our physical posture. It has to do with our innermost being and requires several things.
1) We must be born again. Without the Holy Spirit residing within us, we cannot respond to God in worship because we do not know Him. “No one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:11b). The Holy Spirit within us is the one who energizes worship because He is in essence glorifying Himself, and all true worship glorifies God. 2) Worshiping in spirit requires a mind centered on God and renewed by Truth. Paul exhorts us to “present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Romans 12:1b, 2b). Only when our minds are changed from being centered on worldly things to being centered on God can we worship in spirit. Distractions of many kinds can flood our minds as we try to praise and glorify God, hindering our true worship. 3) We can only worship in spirit by having a pure heart, open and repentant. When King David’s heart was filled with guilt over his sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11), he found it impossible to worship. He felt that God was far from him, and he “groaned all day long” feeling God’s hand heavy upon him (Psalm 32:3,4). But when he confessed, fellowship with God was restored and worship and praise poured forth from him. He understood that “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart” (Psalm 51:17). Praise and worship toward God cannot come from hearts filled with UN confessed sin. The second part of true worship is worship “in truth.” All worship is a response to truth, and that which is truth is contained in the Word of God. Jesus said to His Father, “Thy word is truth” (John 17:17b). Psalm 119 says, “Thy law is truth” (v. 142b) and “Thy word is true” (v. 160a). To truly worship God, we must understand who He is and what He has done, and the only place He has fully revealed Himself is in the Bible. Worship is an expression of praise from the depths of our hearts toward a God who is understood through His Word. If we do not have the truth of the Bible, we do not know God and we cannot be truly worshiping. Since external actions are unimportant in Christian worship, there is no rule regarding whether we should sit, stand, fall down, be quiet, or sing praises loudly while in corporate worship. These things should be decided based on the nature of the congregation. The most important thing is that we worship God in spirit (in our hearts) and in truth (in our minds.)

How to Change Your Life through the Power of Words

Who hasn’t spoken jokingly or playfully at some time or another? We’ve all done it. How differently would people speak, though, if they truly believed in their words? Statements like, “That makes me sick.” or “This is what kills me.” would quickly disappear from our lips. New statements like, “I am a millionaire!” and “I am out of debt!” would be spoken with conviction and heard for miles around!
However, one saying remains true, whether people choose to believe it or not, and that is: “Words have power.” For the origin of such power, let’s begin with the source, God.
We’ve heard the stories of Genesis. Throughout its pages, runs a central and constant theme: God spoke and a corresponding action or manifestation occurred. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3.) Ultimately, the elements of everything we can see, and also those things that we cannot see, like oxygen and electricity, originate from the voice of God—even you and I!
Mankind was made in God’s image and in the image of the Word of God, who was present with God when creation occurred. “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature” (Genesis 1:26, MSG). More importantly, we don’t just look like God, we are like God! “Jesus said, ‘I’m only quoting your inspired Scriptures, where God said, ‘I tell you—you are gods’ ” (John 10:34, MSG). That means we possess within us God-like qualities, such as the ability to love and even the ability to create through the power of speech. Examples of such life-changing occurrences are throughout the Bible. Here are a few:

• “Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit—you choose” (Proverbs 18:21, MSG).
•  “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23).
• “Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked” (Mark 5:41, 42).
• “So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them” (Isaiah 55:11, MSG).

Any one of these is powerful enough to change your circumstances or your life! The Bible contains numerous instances of Word power. It is a book of seeds—Word seeds. You can take your pick!
Because God’s creative force is within us all, it is so important that we consciously choose the words we speak. Words have consequences. Through what you say, you have the ability to bring to pass either good or bad. In addition, words are spiritual containers that can produce physical things. All they need in order to reproduce is the fertile ground of a believing heart. This works either purposely or not on purpose.
As a Christian, there is authority available to you through the words you speak in the name of Jesus. We call forth His name when we pray, and He backs what we say, when it agrees with what God has said.
Know that the Word of God is alive and effective! As a result, you can speak it with confidence over your finances, or more particularly, concerning a light bill. You can declare it for a body to be healed! You can call into existence a job, a spouse, well-behaved children—whatever you need! With the Word of God consistently on your tongue and in your heart, along with the dynamic power of the name of Jesus, you can rearrange your life. Change will come. Expect it to eventually show up!
