prayer that moves the mountain!

Prayer That Moves #Mountains! #Prayer is needed to come out of deep afflictions! When #Jesus came down from the mount of transfiguration, he had a case on his hands in which he had to rebuke the deaf and dumb spirit from an afflicted person, and the fellow was healed! The disciples had labored to heal this fellow without success until Jesus moved in. However he gave a prescription for such healing in verse 29 of Mark Chapter 9… he said unto them ‘this kind can come forth by prayer and fasting,” We may need to break through some realms in the spirit before deliverance can be obtained. When some problems are deeply rooted, deliverance might not come cheap! Prayer is the very voice of faith. Prayer is connected deeply with faith and they work hand in hand! Beloved, a new season has come to your experience in the Christian #faith!! The information of Your adoption as a Son of God with the numerous benefits you have will be released to you in this message. The devil, adversary of man loves to hide divine information from his victims. Pray this prayer now: You demonic powers hiding divine information from me, be removed far from me in Jesus name. The subject of prayer cannot be completed in an encyclopedia, but as much as the Lord will help me, I will share the basics with you. I will implore you to read with rapt attention. Prayer is not an arrangement of cleverly organised words or the display of Spiritual eloquence because our God is not the God that can be ‘PACKAGED’ with clever/impressive words. He is the author of all wisdom, as a result, man’s devised wisdom is foolishness with God 1 Corinthians 3:19. Prayer a spiritual communication with #God who is a spirit. John 4:24. PRAYER IS THEREFORE A #SPIRIT BASED EXERCISE. LORD, LORD,TEACH US TO PRAY!!!!! Many have been praying very cleverly arranged and mechanical prayers, and are even frustrated in the alter of prayers without getting results, because many words are spoken but barely any real communication. Some people think praying in understanding in the name of Jesus and speaking in tongues are the only prayers. Some have never heard of travail in the spirit (Galatians 4:19). There are several levels and classes of prayers beloved. Paul the Apostle even talks about singing in the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14:15. Jude 1:20 talks about building yourselves in praying in the Holy Ghost. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body and the three has to be involved in prayer, but in an effective prayer, the Spirit is the chief participant because the ‘The Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching the inward parts of the belly’ (PROVERBS 20:27) To also be successful in the School of Prayer, you need to know that there is a dividing asunder of the soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). Matthew Chapter 6 is an expository chapter in the ministry of prayer, where Christ taught his disciples the very objects of prayer. It is unfortunate that the Lord’s prayer, which was given as a guide to the Church was turned to a ritualistic recitation, which is more or less a poem. The Lord never meant us to recite the Lord’s prayer as a poem but it is to guide us to have a perfect fellowship in prayer. LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!!!!!! The first object of the Lord’s prayer is ‘our father, who art in heaven , Hallowed been thy name, thy kingdom come, are all objects of worship of the Almighty God, where we worship him for who he is and Who he is to our lives. in this area, we speak his testimony back to him, thank him for being the one in charge of our lives ( this worship is acceptable in spirit if only if you don’t have hidden gods and idols in your heart) The next object is understanding the obligations of the kingdom. Christ said ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. To enter and fully utilize these very object of prayer, you must understand the essence of Christ ministry on earth, our obligations in the kingdom. From the time of creation, God gave man dominion over everything on the surface of the earth, so he has limited himself on earth in what he can do, except by our prayers. This is also in Psalm 115:16. God’s will is perfect in Heaven ,but on earth, man is required to bring down his will upon the earth. There is a universal spiritual government that was re-created when man fell in the garden and it became compulsory for man to seek God in prayer and fellowship to allow his will upon the earth over any matter. In every dispensation, there was a need for an intercessor or advocate for God’s people. In the period of the Law, Moses needed to seek the face of God for any matter to prevail, while in the dispensation of the prophets headed by Elijah, the Lord is also sought by the prophets before any matter can prevail. When God saw the hopelessness of man ISAIAH 59:16, he raised an intercessor/advocate for us in Christ Jesus and that was how he brought his kingdom down to the earth!! And he is asking us to do same in Mark 16:15 ‘Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In heaven. ’ LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY! To be a skillful student in the School of prayer, there must ‘BE A THIRST’ in the Spirit as Christ proclaimed in John 7:38. The person that wants to prevail with God in prayer must be very thirsty for him. There must be an inner hunger for him. God is willing to over-answer our prayers!, but we need to know how to reach him even in the alter of our prayers. The next object in the Lord’s Prayer is ‘Give us these day our daily bread’!! this is the realm of asking for our needs. These object of prayer implies that our needs must be things that will glorify him. Things that will promote his kingdom on earth!!! That is why this follows the line ‘ thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. For us to prevail in the alter of prayer, whatever the vocation we are doing must be showcasing and promoting his kingdom upon the earth!!! LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!!! Nicodemus was a reputable spiritual teacher, but he knew he needed to clarify many things spiritually, so he sneaked out in the dead of night to trace the master. He needed to know divine requirement to be in the kingdom of God, JOHN 3:3 he needed to know the attributes of people of God who walk in the Spirit! Thank God for Nicodemus!!!!!!!!!! There must be a hunger for the Lord beyond your Sunday service or Bible study, there must be a hunger to be one of the people who will partner God in the mass harvest of souls in these end times! God has made tremendous power available to the Church these end times, and that is why the Church is very wealthy! But beyond this wealth, there is presently a call in the spirit to partner God in the redemption of his people. To do this, OUR PRAYER MUST RISE BEYOND THE ORDINARY LEVEL TO THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT!!!! LORD TEACH US TO PRAY!!!People are thirsty for God but they are sincerely blind, they cannot see him. (Isaiah 6:10 And Mark 4:12). If your prayers rise beyond the ordinary, and you enter into sweet communion with our loving father who is always ready to answer our cry in the Spirit, you become a solution to spiritual problem in your environment!! You will become the spiritual consultant in your environment. You are the Jesus of this time! You are a branch sent forth to manifest his attributes and make people know that they need to turn from other beggarly powers and turn to the most high. You need to invest in knowledge that will promote you in the School of prayer! There is a cry of prayer in the spirit, a groan for help that goes beyond audible words! That is the prayer of the Spirit, and that is the prayer that can break any stubborn yoke of infirmity. When Jesus got to the tomb of lazarus in John chapter 11, he was compassionate and he wept!! Lord Jesus wept! Away from the compassion, he was connected in the Spirit, and he groaned! He began to mutter inaudible words he broke through the barriers of death in the Spirit by groaning, before he shouted Lazarus! Come forth! And the gates of death set lazarus free! LORD TEACH US TO PRAY!
