A Powerful Prayer Principle by Apostle Joshua Selman (How to Declare Scriptures While Praying) · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  But many believers do not understand, they do not even
• 0:03
  know it is prayer is declaring scripture in prayer.
• 0:08
  My goodness, my God, declaring scripture in prayer, not just
• 0:13
  quoting. There is a difference and I'm
• 0:16
  going to show you now, just because you are quoting
• 0:19
  scripture does not mean you are carrying out this model of
• 0:22
  prayer. It is a powerful model of prayer
• 0:26
  to declare scripture. Psalms one, O 7, two and three.
• 0:32
  Please my God declaring scripture in prayer.
• 0:38
  The Bible says let the redeemed of the Lord.
• 0:42
  Please help me say so. What is the platform that allows
• 0:47
  them to say so? Let the redeemed of the Lord say
• 0:51
  So what is this model of prayer? Please watch this.
• 0:55
  So you take Scripture and personalize it.
• 1:00
  You put yourself in the experience of that word and you
• 1:04
  declare it. Are we together now?
• 1:06
  The Bible says to bring forth your strong reasons to bring
• 1:12
  forth present your course, your case said the Lord, and it says,
• 1:17
  bring forth your strong reason. Don't just say, God, Are you not
• 1:22
  my Father? You can't be watching me like
• 1:24
  that. That's not prayer.
• 1:27
  That's not prayer. Let me show you how this model
• 1:30
  of prayer works, that you can stand in the place of prayer and
• 1:34
  you are making prophetic declarations.
• 1:36
  The Lord is my light and my salvation.
• 1:39
  I am blessed going out and blessed comedy.
• 1:42
  This is you praying now are we together?
• 1:45
  You become the prophet of your destiny at that point and as you
• 1:49
  are speaking, you know, because the Bible says Ecclesiastes, I
• 1:54
  believe chapter 8. Let's try 3 or 4.
• 1:57
  That should be verse 4 please. Where the word of a king is Did
• 2:02
  I get OK? Where the word of a king is?
• 2:04
  Is that in your Bible? There is what?
• 2:07
  Help me say power one more time where the word of a king is.
• 2:12
  Remember Revelations 510 We have been made unto our God, kings
• 2:16
  and priests, and we shall reign on earth.
• 2:19
  That means every time you make this declarations, you are not
• 2:22
  just speaking to the air, you are programming realities over
• 2:26
  your destiny. Believe this, I am blessed in
• 2:32
  the city and blessed in the country.
• 2:35
  I obey the Lord and I serve Him. Therefore I enjoy prosperity, my
• 2:40
  days in prosperity, my years in pleasure.
• 2:43
  This is you declaring Scripture. 1000 Fall by my side, and 10,000
• 2:47
  by my right side. None shall hurt me.
• 2:50
  With my eyes shall I see and behold the reward of the wicked.
• 2:54
  The Lord is my light and my salvation.
• 2:57
  Of whom shall I be afraid of? Are we together now?
• 3:00
  Yes, they may come against me in one way, but they will scatter
• 3:04
  in seven ways. I am the delight of the Lord.
• 3:08
  I shall not die, but live and declare.
• 3:11
  This is a prayer model. It's a prayer model.
• 3:16
  Most believers do not have a rich prayer life because they do
• 3:19
  not even know. Here's how the average believer
• 3:21
  prays. Father, you are the King of
• 3:23
  kings and the Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, the beginning
• 3:26
  and the end and all. And you see that they don't
• 3:28
  believe what they're saying. Now imagine you are God and
• 3:32
  somebody just come. You are the Lion of driver of
• 3:34
  Judah, the Rose of Sharon and the King of what is Rose of
• 3:37
  Sharon, what is King of Kings? Now I'm not being insulted.
• 3:40
  Please don't, don't misunderstand me.
• 3:42
  And at the end of it, all that preamble is to really get to a
• 3:45
  point where they can bring down that pain and say, God, let's
• 3:49
  talk this rent. You said manner from heaven,
• 3:55
  they wasted it. You sent another one.
• 3:57
  I'm only asking you for rent in Jesus name and the person will
• 4:02
  live actually believing that he prayed.
• 4:05
  No, you didn't pray. You lamented, agreed, you cried,
• 4:11
  agreed you were superstitious, agreed, but it was not prayer.
• 4:19
  Are we together? Because I've set my affection on
• 4:24
  him. Look, if you the the key to
• 4:28
  manifesting this model is that your World Bank must be full.
• 4:33
  If you do not understand Scripture, you cannot pray this
• 4:36
  model because this model is a direct lifting from scripture.
• 4:40
  You just put yourself there and make that declaration.
• 4:44
  If you are poor in the world, you cannot pray this model of
• 4:47
  prayer. Hallelujah.
• 4:51
  This is the kind of the model of prayer that you used to counter
• 4:56
  negative speakings. Did you get that?
• 4:58
  Now that someone looks at you and says everybody in this unit
• 5:02
  is a useless person, immediately a scripture wells from you.
• 5:06
  It's not that you have to reply that person immediately because
• 5:10
  there's wisdom, remember? So someone looks at you and say
• 5:16
  the way you are looking sick like this, as if you are going
• 5:18
  to die soon. A scripture just comes up and
• 5:20
  the moment you find a chance, no, I shall not die, I shall not
• 5:25
  die. They are live to those who find
• 5:27
  them and health to their flesh. Are we together now?
• 5:31
  Yes, the advantage of this prayer is that it keeps
• 5:37
  reinforcing that truth to your consciousness because generally
• 5:41
  speaking, speaking reinforces the reality of thoughts.
• 5:46
  This is psychology. You agree with me on that, that
• 5:49
  anytime you speak a thing, the reality still is crystallized in
• 5:52
  your mind. Again, you get up in the morning
• 5:57
  and you celebrate God. This is the day the Lord has
• 6:00
  made. Who made the day?
• 6:01
  Not the Lord and Satan the Lord had made.
• 6:05
  Therefore I rejoice anything fighting my joy today in the
• 6:09
  name of Jesus. I come against you on account of
• 6:11
  that declaration. That means my joy was factored
• 6:15
  in the making of that day. So you find two people who leave
• 6:21
  their homes in the morning. Please listen, on the streets of
• 6:24
  Lagos, someone leaves their home rejoicing and you say how are
• 6:27
  you? They say I'm fine, they're
• 6:29
  rejoicing. They get to the office and they
• 6:31
  say listen, we decided to choose one person to send abroad and
• 6:35
  you are the person who came to our mind.
• 6:37
  And someone is frowning because a merry hearts do it good, like
• 6:41
  medicine. Are we together now?
• 6:43
  But that a broken spirit can dry up the bones.
• 6:47
  You get up in the morning and you declare the name of Jesus.
• 6:51
  Joy. Joy unspeakable, full of glory.
• 6:54
  No one disturbs my joy and peace.
• 6:56
  Today. You have already frustrated the
• 6:58
  person Satana's position. And every time God sees that
• 7:03
  something good is coming, you notice things begin to happen
• 7:06
  around your life, your office. You are angry.
• 7:09
  Your son wants to do something. You are almost going to slap
• 7:11
  him. No, it's an attack.
• 7:14
  Because it is with joy we reap. Are we together now?
• 7:22
  Scriptural prayer models #2 Joy. Some of you right now as you are
• 7:28
  here. God has been telling you,
• 7:29
  cherub, since yesterday. What God sent from heaven has
• 7:32
  refused to arrive. Do you know why?
• 7:34
  Because gloominess and sadness has created an embargo.
• 7:42
  You believe what I'm teaching you.
• 7:45
  I am the head and not the tail. Please say it.
• 7:49
  Believe what you are saying. Say I'm the head and not the
• 7:51
  tail. Yes Sir, the Bible says you are
• 7:54
  above and not beneath. And while you are saying that
• 7:58
  because Satan is a deceiver, he will come and stand around the
• 8:02
  corridors of your mind and say with that range issue, what did
• 8:05
  you say again? The head, Hear yourself.
• 8:07
  And you say it again, I am the head and not the tail.
• 8:11
  And then you can add, while we look not at the things that are
• 8:14
  seen, but the things that are unseen, for the things that are
• 8:18
  seen are temporal. Temporal, the court case,
• 8:22
  temporal, the issue of shame and reproach, temporal.
• 8:26
  Still looking for the school fees of your son, but temporal.
• 8:31
  Yes, the visa was declined. But temporal.
• 8:38
  Temporal. But the things that are unseen.
• 8:42
  Unseen, not unreal. Unseen, not unreal.
• 8:46
  Just because you cannot see does not mean it doesn't exist.
• 8:51
  Hallelujah, the works of my hands blessed God gives you a
• 8:59
  store. You don't go there and start
• 9:01
  quarreling and say this lady, today's your last day.
• 9:03
  If you don't is to you. You are already frustrating your
• 9:07
  path to growth. I'm showing you how to
• 9:09
  participate with heaven. You step into your mall or your
• 9:13
  store, excuse yourself for a minute and close the door in the
• 9:16
  name of Jesus. The Bible says everything I do
• 9:19
  is blessed. Is it in your Bible?
• 9:22
  Whatsoever he do it, help me whatsoever he do it, you step
• 9:27
  into that store, lay your hands and say in the name of Jesus.
• 9:31
  God is bringing strategic people.
• 9:33
  Relationships are coming to me today, not useless
• 9:37
  relationships, destiny, defining relationships.
• 9:41
  Troublemakers are far from my destiny.
• 9:44
  God is bringing the right people.
• 9:48
  You get up and you expect favor. The Bible says his messes are
• 9:51
  new every morning. Have you received today's own?
• 9:57
  Declaring scripture, Declaring scripture, declaring scripture?
• 10:03
  You get up and you find yourself that you you were somewhere.
• 10:08
  You fell into a ditch and you died.
• 10:11
  Bring yourself back to life by waking up.
• 10:15
  That death in the dream should end there.
• 10:18
  Are we together? And then you don't just get up
• 10:21
  and say God forbid. God forbid is not prayer.
• 10:24
  God forbid based on what You see, the things that we keep
• 10:28
  saying that makes our prayer ineffective, God forbid.
• 10:31
  I know you are sincere, but the realm of the Spirit does not
• 10:34
  work like that. There has to be a basis based on
• 10:36
  what the Bible said. I said before you life and
• 10:42
  death. I said before you blessing and
• 10:46
  cursing, who is God speaking to this morning?
• 10:48
  He said choose life, choose life.
• 10:50
  One of the ways you choose life is to verbalize it.
• 10:55
  If I tell you choose between this flower and this monitor one
• 10:59
  of the ways you by pointing and then you can say I choose the
• 11:02
  flower loud enough for me to hear you.
• 11:05
  You cannot tell me you choose the flower, then I give you
• 11:08
  this. It means I'm a deceiver.
• 11:10
  God says choose life, choose life, choose life when men say
• 11:19
  there is a casting down my declaration in the name of the
• 11:23
  Lord and add your children in that confession that they shall
• 11:26
  say there is a lifting up. I'm challenging every mother
• 11:30
  here. Don't keep quiet.
• 11:32
  This is not the time to keep quiet.
• 11:33
  Satan is looking for families he would destroy looking for men
• 11:38
  that you will shred their testimonies.
• 11:40
  Do you know that the spirit of depression, the first thing that
• 11:44
  the spirit of depression does is it brings you to a point of
• 11:47
  silence. Find out people who are
• 11:50
  depressed, they've come to a point where they've given up on
• 11:53
  life and they just keep quiet. Sir, you know there is a way and
• 11:58
  he just keeps quiet. After 5 minutes, he says that
• 12:02
  person is almost dying. But thou, O Lord, had a shield
• 12:10
  from me, My glory, you lift my head.
• 12:18
  But thou, O Lord, out of shield for me, my glory, that lifts her
• 12:27
  up my head. Sing it one more time.
• 12:31
  But thou, O Lord, out of shield for me, my glory, you lift my
• 12:40
  head. For me, many of you have heard
• 12:57
  me say there are some of you. The only thing that comes out of
• 13:00
  your mouth is why is it that everybody hates me?
• 13:03
  First, you are a liar because it's impossible to be hated by
• 13:07
  everybody. You may have heard me say that
• 13:09
  even Satan is not hated by everybody.
• 13:12
  There are people who know that he's the devil and still love
• 13:15
  him. There are wives that agreed to
• 13:18
  spend their lives with terrorists.
• 13:20
  Am I right on that? They know the person is an
• 13:22
  assassin, is a killer, and yet he went and met her parents and
• 13:26
  the lady was willing. Everybody cannot hate you.
• 13:29
  Is the devil deceiving you? And what you need is one person
• 13:34
  sent by God who loves you. One How many One I tell you one
• 13:40
  how many people had to love Joseph to become a Prime
• 13:44
  Minister? 1015111 So when you get up in
• 13:53
  the morning, Father, in the name of Jesus, there has to be
• 13:56
  someone who delights in my son to hold his hands and lift him
• 14:00
  to be great. I'm calling that person forth by
• 14:03
  prophecy. When Jesus was born as a little
• 14:07
  baby, there were wise men that saw the stars.
• 14:10
  Is that in your Bible? The Bible says they took gifts
• 14:13
  of gold, of frankincense and Ma and they came to greet baby
• 14:17
  Jesus, not entrepreneur Jesus, not save your Jesus declaring
• 14:26
  scripture, declaring Scripture, declaring scripture.
• 14:30
  Go back home on your way home, even if it's only one scripture
• 14:34
  you know, weary life with that scripture.
• 14:37
  Speak it until it becomes a reality.
• 14:40
  Declare ye that thou might test be justified.
• 14:43
  There are no assumptions in the Spirit.
• 14:45
  Let me tell you the truth, if I did not understand this model, I
• 14:49
  submit to you by the integrity of God's word, I would have died
• 14:52
  a long time ago. A long time ago.
• 15:00
  Don't just accept everything that comes to your life, build a
• 15:03
  Garrison with the world and don't wait for someone to just
• 15:07
  speak it over you. You are principally the first
• 15:11
  prophet of your life, principally Hallelujah.
• 15:20
  The Bible says, I will multiply them.
• 15:24
  They shall not be few. I will glorify them.
• 15:27
  They shall not be small. Speak that over your business.
• 15:31
  The Bible says in some 112 parents this is a woman
• 15:34
  conference. Blessed is the man that shared
• 15:37
  the Lord who delighted greatly in his commands.
• 15:41
  His seed shall be mighty. I say mother, you would declare
• 15:44
  I didn't give birth to pain. I is not my child that will send
• 15:48
  me to my grave in the name of Jesus.
• 15:50
  Every spirit trying to turn this boy to become a disappointment.
• 15:54
  I am not discouraged. I look beyond that stubborn
• 15:58
  child and I see a giant rising, because the Bible says his seed
• 16:03
  shall be mighty, seed shall be mighty, seed shall be mighty.
• 16:11
  Are we together? You declare over this church
• 16:14
  that is not only spiritually vibrant men and women who are
• 16:18
  rise, but people who are great people of means and people of
• 16:24
  capacity. Genesis 17 and verse 6.
• 16:28
  I will make the exceeding fruitful.
• 16:30
  It says give it to us, please. And I will make nations of thee.
• 16:36
  And kings shall come out of thee, not kings shall come to
• 16:40
  you. Does that sound like what comes
• 16:42
  out of a woman? So what you are holding called a
• 16:45
  baby, is a king. Royalty, greatness.
• 16:49
  You're my glory. The lift her up of my head.
• 16:55
  You're my glory.
