Praying God's Will
Praying God's Will
Kidz World Today - Children’s Church
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel. I am moved by what I believe. I believe the WORD of God! The victory is mine! I have it now! I can see it through the eyes of my faith! In Jesus name
It’s Important to Pray God’s Will
It’s Important to Pray God’s Will
If there ever was a time we needed to pray it is now! It’s a time for prayer because of the darkness the world is going through!
Disease, Drugs, Depression and every other weapon the enemy can get his hands on!
I believe the key to seeing results and not just shooting some scatter-shot type of prayer is following the word of God in prayer
2 You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
3 And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
Praying the Will of God
Praying the Will of God
People often wonder when they pray are the praying in God’s will!
We say things like “God whatever Your will is in this situation, You just go ahead and do it”
To honor God - we must pray what he has already declared in his word!
The bible tells us that God does not want any to perish
9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.
But
Does God hear me?
Does God hear me?
14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
Stop praying your problems and pray the Word of God!
Stop praying your problems and pray the Word of God!
If you are sick
If you are sick
24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
Financial Problems
Financial Problems
19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
When you pray God’s word knowing his will in advance, you are not praying hoping to get results! You are nor rattling off a bunch of religious sounding words!
You are Praying - Expecting Results!
This is accurate prayer - the very Words God has given us as His Will to be done on earth!
Before you pray, make a decision to get results! Pray the WORD of God - expecting God to move!
That’s how we demonstrate God’s glory in this earth realm!
That’s how we position ourselves to receive the harvest!
Start with the Word of God and Finish with the Word Of God!
Pray With Confidence
Pray With Confidence
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
When we pray with God’s word we start off with the answer! The Word of God contains the answer to every problem that confronts you or me!
I’m Praying For Results
I’m Praying For Results
God’s Word is True! You must decide for yourself that the Word of God is real and powerful!
19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Apply Your Faith
Apply Your Faith
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
17 The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.
I am learning to increase my faith in the Word of God!
Speak the Words that agree with what you desire
Words carry power
Words carry power
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Put It In Action
Put It In Action
17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
17 Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
Walk In The Word
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
We can’t focus on the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen!
18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Keep your heart fixed on the Word Of God! When we do that something happens in the atmosphere! There is a shift - a change -
We invite God into our situation through prayer of his Word and faith in his Word! We speak the outcome according to his Word and we get results!
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
The Word of God does not say “hope to get it”
it says “Come and Obtain”
I have a right to obtain what is in the Word of God!
21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
If God will answer a prayer of a sinner to be saved, He will certainly answer the prayers of born-again believers who come to their heavenly Father in Faith concerning things in their life!
Refuse Doubt
Refuse Doubt
One of the tricks of the enemy is casting doubt! He knows the importance of getting us to waver! He is constantly trying to throw unbelief and doubt in our minds!
Refuse Doubt - Don’t pray your circumstances - pray the Word of God! Build the solution and diminish the problem!
This is a war!
This is a war!
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
When I read the word in Matthew 14 when Peter walked out on the water ! The combat was spiritual! Natural Law was subject to the Words Jesus spoke! When Jesus said come - Peter acted on the Authority of The Word!
We can walk in the supernatural despite life storms raging against us! Our spiritual weapons are mighty!
Do not allow doubt or fear to enter your consciousness. maintain control of your mind!
Refuse any thought or imagination contrary to your prayer of the Word of God!
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
