  Anatomy of a Prayer is the most important video I have produced.
• 0:04
  Those with an ear to hear and a mind to learn.
• 0:07
  It will help through the coming difficult times.
• 0:10
  I have divided the Anatomy of a Prayer into sections.

  If this video is too long for you, just visit my Channels and
• 0:18
  they'll be in the library in the link in the description if you
• 0:23
  wish to download them. He shall call upon me and I will
• 0:39
  answer him. I will be with him in trouble.
• 0:42
  I will deliver him and honor him.
• 0:45
  The most basic definition of prayer is talking to God.
• 0:50
  Prayer is not meditation or passive reflection.
• 0:54
  It is direct address to God. It is the communication of the
• 1:00
  human soul with the Lord who created the soul.
• 1:05
  Prayer is the primary way for the believer in Jesus Christ to
• 1:09
  communicate his emotions and desires with God and to
• 1:13
  fellowship with God. Unbelievers postulate that the
• 1:18
  Scriptures are only theory or even worse, a fable.
• 1:22
  But when we study and learn what are we asked to do in school, we
• 1:27
  have labs where we practice what is written in the school texts.
• 1:32
  People who struggle understanding the scriptures
• 1:34
  today don't do the lab work and therefore they wrongfully
• 1:39
  believe the scriptures can be ignored.
• 1:43
  This video will be an in depth look into prayer and it will
• 1:47
  have examples along with a prayer collection free for
• 1:51
  download in the library. Link in the description of this
• 1:54
  video. Ask and it will be given to you.
• 2:32
  Seek and you will find Knock and the door will be opened to you.
• 2:37
  For everyone who asks, receives, he who seeks finds, and to him
• 2:45
  who knocks, the door will be opened.
• 2:49
  When you pray, the goal is to receive that prayer or get what
• 2:54
  you pray for. One of the most heinous acts
• 2:59
  against God is the redefining of Him by the occultists.
• 3:05
  That's actually how the occultists take over the minds
• 3:08
  of the masses. They redefine words, redefine
• 3:11
  concepts. This enables them to take
• 3:14
  control of subject matter and from that foundation build off
• 3:18
  of that incorrect teaching. Even more, since Copernicus,
• 3:23
  occultists have begun tearing down the biblical teachings one
• 3:27
  topic to the next. For prayer.
• 3:31
  The occultists came up with the vengeful God of the Old
• 3:34
  Testament versus the loving God of the New Testament.
• 3:39
  To pray properly, it is important to know who you are
• 3:42
  praying to. And God has never changed.
• 3:45
  He never will. His wrath has only come because
• 3:49
  of man succumbing to great evil. God is just, and that means that
• 3:56
  your prayers must be just too. What does that mean?
• 4:00
  Prayers must be in the realm of God's plan.
• 4:04
  This is called reverent submission.
• 4:07
  Not as I will, but as you will. Your will be done.
• 4:13
  It consists of renouncing your own will and embracing the will
• 4:17
  of God. If a prayer goes against God's
• 4:20
  plan, it is a satanic prayer. Remember in Matthew 16 when
• 4:25
  Jesus is telling the disciples of his death and Peter rebuked
• 4:28
  the plan, how did Jesus respond? He said get behind me Satan, you
• 4:35
  are a hindrance to me, for you are not setting your mind on the
• 4:40
  things of God but on the things of man.
• 4:43
  Praying for Jesus to live sounds good, but it would have
• 4:47
  destroyed God's plan and our salvation.
• 4:52
  Another example, just praying for millions of dollars like the
• 4:56
  prosperity gospel would not work.
• 4:59
  What if in your current relationship with God, becoming
• 5:03
  a millionaire would falsely cause you to believe you don't
• 5:06
  require God's help anymore? Even just subconsciously, you
• 5:11
  would start to fall away. Would it be wise for God to
• 5:14
  grant your prayer? Of course not.
• 5:17
  God will not lead your charge towards your own destruction.
• 5:22
  So when we pray for anything, we need to begin by asking
• 5:27
  ourselves, am I praying for this because I want it or because God
• 5:33
  wants it? It makes a great deal of
• 5:36
  difference. If it is because I want it, my
• 5:39
  prayers may not be answered, but if it is because God wants it,
• 5:43
  then my prayers will be answered.
• 5:47
  Praying is an intimate relationship building practice
• 5:50
  and because of this, praying in private is not only important
• 5:54
  but necessary. And when you pray, do not be
• 5:57
  like the hypocrites, for they love to pray, standing in the
• 6:00
  synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
• 6:04
  Truly, I tell you, they have received the reward in full.
• 6:08
  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to
• 6:13
  your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what
• 6:17
  is done in secret, will reward you.
• 6:20
  And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like the pagans, for
• 6:24
  they think they will be heard because of their many words.
• 6:28
  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need
• 6:31
  before you ask Him. Now obviously this is not
• 6:36
  talking about praying together as a group.
• 6:38
  That is a different matter. But in a prayer group you also
• 6:42
  do that privately in a home or designated building or location,
• 6:47
  even if it is a street corner. Have you ever wondered why some
• 6:52
  wear cloth over their heads when they pray?
• 6:55
  Not only because of First Corinthians 11 where a cloth can
• 6:58
  represent a woman's hair, thus showing obedience to God as long
• 7:02
  hair is a natural covering, it's also a makeshift closet for a
• 7:07
  man and woman to use. God loves your presence, so just
• 7:13
  be with Him. So seek Him when you pray, even
• 7:19
  if you only have 10% of faith. Or the faith, the.
• 7:23
  Size of a mustard seed for God. It's a start and something he
• 7:28
  can work with. That 10% faith will have what is
• 7:31
  required to grow and learn that 10% faith in prayer and
• 7:36
  scripture reading is exponentially better than to
• 7:39
  have no faith when you pray but read scriptures.
• 7:42
  Having 0 faith is denying God and if you have denied God, God
• 7:47
  will deny you. But whoever denies me before
• 7:51
  men, I will also deny him before my Father in heaven.
• 7:56
  Seeking out God literally brings him closer to you, so that 10%
• 8:01
  of faith will grow to 15%, then 20%, and so on.
• 8:07
  The presence of God through the Holy Spirit will teach you and
• 8:10
  prepare you. Your wisdom will rise and your
• 8:14
  discernment will grow. When you pray, it is important
• 8:24
  to remove your guilt that you have in everyday life.
• 8:28
  Approach God with confidence and not condemnation.
• 8:32
  Remove that guilt through prayer.
• 8:34
  We know that God will forgive us when we repent of our sins.
• 8:39
  So this admittance and repentance is what allows us to
• 8:43
  be washed of the sin as if we never committed that sin.
• 8:47
  So do not dwell and condemn for that is the work of the demonic.
• 8:52
  Just repent and if needed request help from Jesus.
• 8:56
  Jesus, take this thought from me, for I cannot bear it.
• 9:02
  The thought can be anything leading to sin. 2 Scriptures
• 9:06
  from the book of Hebrews tells us why we should approach God
• 9:08
  with confidence. Here is the first.
• 9:12
  Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of
• 9:16
  grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in
• 9:21
  time of need. We are praying to someone who is
• 9:24
  on a throne. A throne indicates a king.
• 9:27
  This is not merely a king, but the king, the King of all kings,
• 9:33
  the Lord of all Lords, the supreme ruler of the universe,
• 9:37
  the one who said all authority has been given to me in heaven
• 9:42
  and on earth. We are praying to someone who
• 9:45
  has both the authority and the power to do what we ask.
• 9:50
  Let's lift our eyes from ourselves and our own needs and
• 9:54
  problems and look up to that glorious throne.
• 9:58
  Then it is a throne of grace. Grace is one of the keywords in
• 10:02
  the New Testament. It always stands for something
• 10:05
  that goes beyond anything we can earn or achieve by our own
• 10:10
  efforts. Because it is a throne of grace,
• 10:13
  we are not limited to what we deserve or what we can achieve,
• 10:17
  or what our own efforts can accomplish for us.
• 10:21
  One awareness I have always had in my Christian life is that I
• 10:24
  stand in need of the mercy of God.
• 10:28
  This scripture encourages me to believe that if I ever come for
• 10:32
  mercy, mercy is what I'll receive.
• 10:35
  The reason some people do not receive mercy is simply that
• 10:38
  they never see their need of it and come in faith to receive it.
• 10:43
  Secondly, therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to
• 10:47
  enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near
• 10:52
  with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith.
• 10:58
  Confidence, full assurance. Everything suggests boldness,
• 11:03
  boldness based upon the fact that the blood of Jesus has been
• 11:06
  shed and has been sprinkled in the very presence of God.
• 11:11
  The blood is now speaking on our behalf even when we do not know
• 11:15
  how to pray. The positive side of coming to
• 11:18
  God boldly is to come with confidence.
• 11:21
  The other side is that we come without condemnation.
• 11:25
  Several passages of Scripture speak about the need to be free
• 11:28
  from condemnation. Here's one from the Psalms.
• 11:33
  If I regard wickedness in my heart, the Lord will not hear.
• 11:37
  To regard iniquity in my heart means that I am conscious of
• 11:41
  something that condemns me. Every time I approach God with
• 11:44
  faith, Satan reminds me of this flaw that is not right, that has
• 11:49
  not been dealt with. It might be a sin that has not
• 11:52
  been confessed, or if it has been confessed, I have not
• 11:55
  claimed or received God's forgiveness.
• 11:57
  If I am conscious of this flaw in my heart, I will not receive
• 12:01
  that which I pray for. I must remove the consciousness
• 12:05
  of sin from within my heart and come boldly before His throne.
• 12:11
  Basically this is done by. Faith.
• 12:13
  Because if we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to
• 12:18
  forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
• 12:24
  Once we confess, repent, and trust God for the forgiveness
• 12:29
  and the cleansing that He has promised, we must not go on
• 12:32
  worrying about our sins. If we do, if we remain sin
• 12:37
  conscious as we pray, God will not hear our prayers.
• 12:42
  If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear
• 12:45
  me. But do you know what the
• 12:48
  psalmist goes on to say? The Lord has heard me.
• 12:52
  In other words, he rose above Satan's attempt to condemn him.
• 12:55
  John expressed the same thought. Beloved, if our heart does not
• 13:01
  condemn us, we have confidence before God and whatever we ask
• 13:06
  we receive from him. We have to get rid of any
• 13:10
  attitude that suggests some kind of righteousness in ourselves.
• 13:14
  We have no righteousness of our own.
• 13:16
  We must come to a place where we are trusting in God's
• 13:19
  faithfulness and that produces confidence.
• 13:23
  Forgiveness is imperative. In the Sermon on the Mount, one
• 13:26
  of the things Jesus taught us to say, as I suppose we all know,
• 13:30
  is this. Forgive us our debts as we
• 13:33
  forgive our debtors. Forgive us as we forgive others.
• 13:37
  What we might not realize is that this is an important
• 13:41
  condition for receiving answers to prayer.
• 13:44
  Jesus also said, And whenever you stand praying, if you have
• 13:48
  anything against anyone, forgive Him.
• 13:53
  Now that does not leave out anything or anybody.
• 13:56
  When you pray, forgive that. Your Father in heaven may also
• 14:00
  forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive,
• 14:04
  neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.
• 14:10
  This is absolutely clear and it is spoken to believers, those
• 14:15
  who have God as their heavenly Father before you.
• 14:18
  And I pray we must forgive. It will do no good to try to
• 14:23
  approach God in prayer with unforgiveness in our hearts
• 14:28
  against anybody about anything. Ask God according to God's Word.
• 14:38
  This is intimately related to the previous condition being
• 14:41
  directed by the Holy Spirit. You see, the great issue in
• 14:46
  prayer is the will of God. If I am praying according to the
• 14:50
  will of God, then as we have seen in Scripture, I know that
• 14:54
  God hears me. And if I know that God hears me,
• 14:58
  I know that I have the petition that I ask, how do I know the
• 15:04
  will of God? Where is the will of God
• 15:07
  revealed? The answer is in His word.
• 15:12
  The great revelation of the will of God is the Word of God.
• 15:16
  And the Word of God is packed from the beginning to end with
• 15:20
  divine promises. The apostle Peter calls them
• 15:24
  exceedingly great and precious promises.
• 15:27
  And do you know what those promises are?
• 15:31
  The promises of God. Are the will of God.
• 15:35
  Thus, when you find a promise that relates to your situation
• 15:39
  and meets your need, that promise is God's will for you.
• 15:44
  God never promised anything that was not His will.
• 15:48
  Anything else would be inconsistent.
• 15:51
  Suppose you came to him and said, Lord, you promised he
• 15:54
  would not say, yes, I promise, but I don't want to do it.
• 16:00
  This is the great secret that clinches our life of prayer.
• 16:06
  We pray according to God's will as revealed in His Word.
• 16:11
  So David came and relaxed before Almighty God and said something
• 16:15
  on this order. God, you have been so good to
• 16:18
  me. I want to take a little time and
• 16:20
  appreciate you and thank you for your goodness.
• 16:24
  Then David said this. And now, O Lord, the word which
• 16:28
  you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his
• 16:31
  house, let it be established forever, and do as you have
• 16:35
  said. Those 5 short words of one
• 16:38
  syllable each contain the essence of effective praying.
• 16:42
  Do as you have said, Lord, you said it, please do it.
• 16:48
  If God has said He will do it, and you ask Him to do it, you
• 16:54
  can know He is going to do it. His promises are the revelation
• 17:00
  of His will. If you were just starting out in
• 17:15
  prayer, how do you start? You start from a contrite or
• 17:19
  remorseful heart, and you start with repentance and a request
• 17:23
  for the Holy Spirit or ruah ha kodesh.
• 17:28
  That is what salvation requires. Let's start with the Salvation
• 17:33
  prayer from bridemovement.com. In order to be saved, we must
• 17:40
  not only believe that Jesus died, but that he was
• 17:44
  resurrected on the third day. The victory wasn't in the death,
• 17:48
  but in the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he arose, having all
• 17:52
  power in heaven and on earth. He later ascended to heaven and
• 17:58
  sat down at the right hand of the Father, where he remains to
• 18:02
  this day, continually making intercession for us.
• 18:07
  This is the God that I serve. This is the God of love.
• 18:12
  This is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• 18:15
  The Bible says that if we confess the Lord Jesus Christ
• 18:18
  with our mouth and believe that God has raised him from the dead
• 18:22
  in our heart, we will be saved. If you believe this testimony of
• 18:26
  Jesus Christ in your heart, then you can confess this prayer with
• 18:30
  your mouth and you will be saved.
• 18:33
  Jesus, I come before you and acknowledge that I am a Sinner.
• 18:39
  I repent, I call upon your name, and I ask you to cleanse me with
• 18:44
  your blood. Forgive me of my sins.
• 18:48
  I invite you into my heart. Jesus Christ, I believe that you
• 18:53
  were born a virgin, died, and were resurrected on the third
• 18:56
  day that I might have eternal life.
• 19:00
  I open my life to you and I ask you to come in and be my Lord
• 19:06
  and Savior. Thank you for saving me.
• 19:10
  In Jesus name I pray, Amen. Let us take the Sermon on the
• 19:17
  Mount and the Lord's Prayer in Matthew. 6.
• 19:21
  This prayer is a template given to us on how we should pray.
• 19:25
  Jesus starts by saying in this manner, pray our Father in
• 19:29
  heaven, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come, your will be
• 19:34
  done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 19:38
  If you've been paying attention, you'll hear the points laid out
• 19:41
  for you previously in this video.
• 19:44
  First of all, we address God as Father, our Father in heaven.
• 19:49
  That makes all the difference. We are not praying to a remote
• 19:52
  or unknown deity or some impersonal force.
• 19:57
  We are praying to a person who has made himself our Father
• 20:01
  through Jesus Christ. The next phrase, hallowed be
• 20:05
  your name, expresses an attitude of reverence of worship.
• 20:09
  After we have acknowledged God as Father, we need to adopt an
• 20:14
  attitude of reverence. Next we come to the two
• 20:17
  petitions. Your Kingdom come and then your
• 20:22
  will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 20:26
  Notice that we do not begin by praying for what we need.
• 20:30
  That follows. Give us this day Our Daily Bread
• 20:34
  and forgive us our trespasses. But that is not where we start.
• 20:39
  We start with God's purposes. What is important to God?
• 20:45
  When done genuinely, it sheds our natural conceit and reveals
• 20:49
  our humility. Now we need to have a little
• 20:52
  clarity about the way the Kingdom is established.
• 20:56
  Paul defined the Kingdom in its essential nature.
• 21:00
  The Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness
• 21:05
  and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
• 21:09
  Righteousness comes first. Without true righteousness,
• 21:13
  there will never be true peace. The world today talks a great
• 21:17
  deal about peace. Many sections of the church are
• 21:21
  praying for peace. That is a good prayer, but bear
• 21:25
  in mind that without righteousness, peace will never
• 21:28
  come. God says twice through the
• 21:32
  prophet Isaiah that there is no. Peace for the wicked.
• 21:36
  The Kingdom can come invisibly, both in the individual hearts of
• 21:40
  believers and in fellowship of the true Church.
• 21:44
  But that is not the ultimate. The ultimate is the visible
• 21:49
  establishment of God's Kingdom. And just as the invisible
• 21:53
  Kingdom requires a king, so does the visible Kingdom.
• 21:57
  Only when the king himself has returned visibly and in person
• 22:02
  can the true Kingdom of God be established on earth.
• 22:06
  Then Jesus said this in his prayer.
• 22:08
  Your will be done on Earth. As it is in heaven.
• 22:13
  I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
• 22:16
  that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
• 22:22
  acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service, and do not
• 22:27
  be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
• 22:32
  of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable
• 22:37
  and perfect will of God. For I say.
• 22:41
  Through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you,
• 22:44
  not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think,
• 22:48
  but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of
• 22:54
  faith. For as we have many members in
• 22:58
  one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so
• 23:02
  we being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members
• 23:07
  of one another. Having then gifts, deferring
• 23:11
  according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.
• 23:15
  If prophecy, let us prophecy in proportion to our faith or
• 23:19
  ministry, let us use it in our ministry.
• 23:22
  He who teaches in teaching, He who exhorts in exhortation, He
• 23:27
  who gives with liberality, He who leads with diligence, He who
• 23:32
  shows mercy with cheerfulness, this is what God's will be done
• 23:37
  means. This does not mean everything is
• 23:40
  perfect on earth, but it means that in any given situation,
• 23:44
  God's purpose and solution can be perfectly worked out.
• 23:48
  Do you believe that? You see, you will pray
• 23:51
  differently if you convince yourself that it's true.
• 23:54
  Once you have successfully and righteously begun your prayer,
• 23:57
  you may enter into the next stage where you ask for bread
• 24:01
  and forgiveness of sin, as you have forgiven others who sinned
• 24:05
  against you. Then for strength against
• 24:08
  temptation of the flesh, because God is the Kingdom and the power
• 24:13
  and deserves all the glory for all time.
• 24:48
  To understand spiritual warfare, we need to understand what we
• 24:52
  are fighting against. Scripture reveals that at the
• 24:56
  present time, Satan's headquarters are in the
• 24:59
  heavenlies or second heaven. Paul gives us a clear picture of
• 25:03
  this in his letter to the Ephesians.
• 25:06
  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
• 25:10
  principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness
• 25:14
  of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
• 25:19
  The King James Version, while quite familiar, does not give us
• 25:22
  the most accurate translation. Let's break this verse down into
• 25:26
  a more literal understanding. For we wrestle not against flesh
• 25:30
  and blood, but against principalities, against powers.
• 25:35
  In Ephesians and other passages, the words principalities and
• 25:40
  powers are often joined closely together.
• 25:42
  The word principalities derived directly from the Greek word for
• 25:46
  ruler. The word power, is the word for
• 25:49
  authority. So to say that our wrestling
• 25:53
  match as believers is not against flesh and blood, not
• 25:57
  against human beings, but against rulerships in the realms
• 26:01
  of their authority. It is also against rulers of the
• 26:05
  darkness of this world. A more literal wording of this
• 26:09
  would be against the world rulers of the present darkness.
• 26:14
  The darkness of this present age has a world headquarters from
• 26:19
  which it is ruled. The headquarters is the mid
• 26:22
  heaven and the ruler is Satan. In Ephesians 22, Satan is called
• 26:27
  the Prince of the power of the air.
• 26:30
  He is then the ruler of the realm of authority that is
• 26:34
  defined by the air. Many people picture Satan living
• 26:38
  down in the bowels of the earth. He's not there.
• 26:42
  He's in the heavenlies. Obviously he is not in the
• 26:45
  heaven that is God's dwelling. He was cast down from that, but
• 26:50
  neither is he on earth. Revelation 12/9 tells us that a
• 26:55
  time is coming when he will be cast down out of the heavenlies
• 26:59
  onto earth. Then it says he is going to make
• 27:02
  all the trouble he can in the short time that is left to him.
• 27:07
  But in the meanwhile, up to the fulfillment of that passage in
• 27:11
  Revelation 12, his headquarters are in the mid heaven.
• 27:15
  We also wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high
• 27:18
  places. The King James wording high
• 27:20
  places here is completely misleading.
• 27:23
  The same Greek word is used numerous times in Ephesians, and
• 27:27
  in each of these places it is correctly translated heavenly.
• 27:32
  Now let's view our more literal translation of Ephesians 612.
• 27:36
  Our wrestling match is not against flesh and blood, but
• 27:40
  against rulerships and the realms of their authority,
• 27:43
  against the world rulers of the present darkness, against the
• 27:46
  spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly.
• 27:50
  This is our spiritual conflict in the book of Daniel.
• 27:53
  The Bible gives us a vivid picture of this battle in
• 27:57
  progress. Let's turn there.
• 28:00
  Daniel, taken from Israel to Babylon as a youth, remained a
• 28:04
  fervent student of the literature of his people.
• 28:07
  As such, he was aware that the prophetic timeline of the
• 28:10
  Babylonian captivity was coming to a close in the first year of
• 28:14
  his reign. I Daniel, understood by the
• 28:17
  books the number of the years specified by the word of the
• 28:21
  Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that he would
• 28:24
  accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
• 28:28
  Daniel began to pray for this approaching eventuality with the
• 28:32
  time of fasting. In those days I Daniel, was
• 28:35
  mourning 3 full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat
• 28:40
  or wine came to my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all till
• 28:45
  three whole weeks were fulfilled.
• 28:47
  Daniel saw what God had committed himself to do and
• 28:50
  responded with this attitude. God, I'm in this with you.
• 28:55
  Count me in. I'll give myself to prayer and
• 28:58
  fasting as I never have done before until I see the
• 29:01
  fulfillment of your promise and experience.
• 29:05
  We will explore the theme of fasting as a powerful component
• 29:08
  to our prayers, particularly as regards to the church in the
• 29:12
  last days. For now, we note that fasting is
• 29:16
  a kind of spiritual mourning. Jesus said in the Sermon on the
• 29:20
  Mount. Blessed are those who mourn, for
• 29:23
  they shall be comforted. Let me note that we must be very
• 29:27
  sensitive to the Holy Spirit about this.
• 29:29
  We should not try to mourn when the Holy Spirit is comforting
• 29:32
  us, and we should not try to work up excitement and thrill
• 29:37
  when the Holy Spirit is calling us to mourning.
• 29:39
  Daniel spent 21 days mourning, praying, and waiting upon God.
• 29:44
  He did not fast completely, but he abstained from all except the
• 29:49
  most basic forms of food and drink.
• 29:51
  At the end of three weeks, the Archangel Gabriel was sent to
• 29:54
  Daniel with revelation of God's purpose for Israel in the last
• 29:58
  days. The rest of chapter 10 and the
• 30:01
  next two chapters of Daniel describe the advent of the
• 30:04
  Angel, his appearance, and the revelation that he brought.
• 30:08
  For our purposes of understanding spiritual warfare,
• 30:11
  let's look at the timeline of the angels appearing.
• 30:15
  Then he said to me, Do not fear Daniel, for from the first day
• 30:20
  that you set your heart to understand and to humble
• 30:23
  yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have
• 30:27
  come because of your words. Daniel's prayer was heard the
• 30:32
  first day that he started to pray, but the Angel did not
• 30:35
  arrive till three weeks later. What happened in the meanwhile?
• 30:40
  The next verse tells us this. But the Prince of the Kingdom of
• 30:44
  Persia withstood me 21 days. And behold, Michael, one of the
• 30:48
  chief Princess, came to help me, for I had been left alone there
• 30:53
  with the kings of Persia. When the Archangel Gabriel spoke
• 30:56
  about the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia, he was not talking
• 31:00
  about a human being, he was talking about one of the dark
• 31:04
  angels in the mid heaven. Gabriel started on his journey
• 31:09
  the first day that Daniel started to pray.
• 31:11
  Angelic warfare in the heavenlies withheld his arrival.
• 31:16
  The good holy angels were opposed and resisted by Satan's
• 31:19
  angels, the angels of darkness. But notice it was Daniel's
• 31:24
  prayer on earth that got the Archangel through.
• 31:27
  Do you see how important our prayers are?
• 31:29
  The Archangel depended on Daniel and his prayer to get through.
• 31:33
  Notice also that the initiative is with earth, not heaven.
• 31:38
  Daniel started the whole thing moving.
• 31:40
  And I venture to say in certain respects this remains true
• 31:44
  today. We are not waiting for God, God
• 31:48
  is waiting for us. When we move, heaven will move.
• 31:53
  Then we'll come conflict and our prayers on earth will settle it.
• 31:57
  We who are believers and know how to pray are much more
• 32:01
  important than most of us have the faintest idea.
• 32:05
  This is the basic picture of spiritual conflict as it is
• 32:09
  unfolded in Scripture. When the Angel left Daniel, he
• 32:13
  gave this further insight. And now I must return to fight
• 32:18
  with the Prince of Persia. And when I have gone forth,
• 32:21
  indeed the Prince of Greece will come.
• 32:24
  The Prince of Persia was a satanic Angel that dominated the
• 32:28
  Kingdom of Persia. This was of particular
• 32:31
  importance to Daniel because Persia was ruling over God's
• 32:34
  people, Israel. When the Persian Empire was
• 32:38
  defeated, the Empire of Greece followed.
• 32:41
  Behind the empire of Greece was another Satanic Angel called the
• 32:45
  Prince of Greece. This shows us that Earth's
• 32:48
  empires have their counterpart in Satan's empire.
• 32:52
  In other words, Satan seeks to control the empires of Earth
• 32:55
  through its rulers in order to make its leaders and governments
• 32:59
  instruments of his will. We must pray against this.
• 33:04
  The decisive factor in this Great War with Satan is just one
• 33:08
  thing. Praying believers.
• 33:12
  We are the ones who tip the scale for victory on God's side,
• 33:15
  on earth, in our dominion. This is an astonishing fact, but
• 33:20
  Scripture makes it clear that this is so.
• 33:23
  Our prayers are not unimportant. They are not secondary.
• 33:29
  They are the decisive issue in the entire spiritual conflict.
• 33:34
  True believers are the most powerful weapon.
• 33:37
  This is why God removes the tares from the wheat and why
• 33:41
  there is a great falling away. The true believers prayers will
• 33:45
  be in concentrate form. This is also why the true
• 33:49
  believers are haunted down and murdered.
• 33:51
  Welcome to revelation. If we are involved in spiritual
• 33:57
  warfare against a spiritual enemy, it is obvious that we
• 34:00
  must have spiritual weapons. Carnal weapons are of no use
• 34:05
  whatever for spiritual warfare. You're not going to get God a
• 34:10
  demon with a GAT. You can't blast a fallen
• 34:14
  messenger with infrared homing missiles built by Stark
• 34:18
  Enterprises. This is what Paul said.
• 34:21
  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the
• 34:27
  flesh. For the weapons of our warfare
• 34:30
  are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down
• 34:34
  strongholds. Strongholds are the altars built
• 34:38
  to worship the demonic realm and the fallen messengers in
• 34:42
  whatever terminology they are representing themselves as such,
• 34:46
  but not limited to the Egyptian Sumerian, the Greek, Canaanite,
• 34:51
  Roman Norris gods and demigods. These altars hosted human and
• 34:57
  animal sacrifices, blood drinking, sex, magic, and
• 35:00
  rituals, all designed to break down the veil and allow entities
• 35:04
  behind the veil to roam freely in our domain.
• 35:07
  Whose business is it to pull them down?
• 35:10
  Ours. And we have been given the
• 35:13
  weapons, the weapons of our warfare, cast down arguments at
• 35:17
  every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of
• 35:20
  God. The great high thing that exalts
• 35:23
  itself against the knowledge of God is.
• 35:25
  Satan's Kingdom. In the heavenlies, we have been
• 35:28
  given the weapons to cast Satan's Kingdom down.
• 35:31
  We are the ones who are going to do it.
• 35:34
  The weapons have been placed in our hands rather than the hands
• 35:37
  of the angels, though the angels have their weapons.
• 35:46
  God has provided us three main spiritual weapons, the Word of
• 35:49
  God, the name of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus.
• 35:54
  We launch these weapons by these means, prayer, praise,
• 35:57
  preaching, and testimony. Let's look at these briefly.
• 36:01
  In Ephesians, Paul lists the spiritual armor that the
• 36:05
  Christian soldiers need for spiritual conflict.
• 36:09
  The first five items of armor are all defensive, girding our
• 36:12
  waist with truth, putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
• 36:17
  seeing that our feet are shot with the preparation of the
• 36:20
  gospel of peace, taking up the shield of faith and the helmet
• 36:24
  of salvation. These protect the believer.
• 36:27
  There is no weapon of offense or attack until we come to the 6th
• 36:32
  item, which is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
• 36:37
  God. Here is the great weapon of
• 36:39
  attack. If you do not use the Word of
• 36:42
  God, you may be able to protect yourself, but you have nothing
• 36:46
  to attack Satan with. If you want to put Satan to
• 36:49
  flight, if you want to get him out of your way, out of your
• 36:54
  home, out of your family, out of your business, if you do not
• 36:58
  want just to tolerate him and hold him off, the weapon you
• 37:02
  must use is the weapon of attack, the sword of the Spirit,
• 37:06
  which is the Word of God. Note too, that it is the sword
• 37:11
  of the Holy Spirit. We can take God's Word in our
• 37:13
  mouths, but it only achieves its full effect when it is the Holy
• 37:18
  Spirit within us. Who actually wields it?
• 37:21
  The perfect pattern of how to use the sword of the Spirit is
• 37:25
  provided by Jesus's encounter with Satan at the time of his
• 37:30
  temptation in the wilderness. Three times Satan approached
• 37:34
  Jesus with a temptation, and each time Jesus drove him back
• 37:38
  with the same phrase it is written.
• 37:41
  Jesus used no other weapon but the spoken word of the Lord.
• 37:45
  God has made the same weapon available to each Christian.
• 37:48
  It is important, however, to bear two things in mind.
• 37:51
  First, Jesus had already been filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 37:55
  It was the Holy Spirit in Jesus who directed him in the use of
• 37:59
  the sword. And 2nd, Jesus, like every
• 38:02
  Jewish boy of his day, had memorized long passages of
• 38:05
  Scripture. When Satan confronted him, he
• 38:09
  did not need to consult the concordance or go to a library.
• 38:13
  He had already stored up the Scriptures in his memory.
• 38:15
  Surely we today need to do that just as much as Jesus did.
• 38:24
  Another powerful weapon for us to use is the name of Jesus.
• 38:28
  These two verses in Psalms 8 gives us a unique understanding.
• 38:34
  O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth,
• 38:40
  who have set Your glory above the heavens, out of the mouth of
• 38:44
  babes and nursing infants. You have ordained strength
• 38:47
  because of your enemies, that you may silence the enemy and
• 38:52
  the Avenger. The enemy and the Avenger is
• 38:55
  Satan, and God has given us the means to silence him.
• 39:00
  I hope you have connected the name of the Avenger with the
• 39:03
  satanic institution. Marvel.
• 39:05
  Your children are marveling over The Avengers, the ones who come
• 39:10
  to earth to corrupt and destroy you.
• 39:12
  So take up your weapon. What is the weapon?
• 39:17
  It is the name of the Lord. O Lord our Lord, how excellent
• 39:22
  is your name in all the earth. The channel that launches the
• 39:26
  name is the human mouth, out of the mouth of babes and nursing
• 39:30
  infants. Spiritual things find expression
• 39:34
  out of the mouth. This is true for both good and
• 39:38
  evil. Look at Revelation 16 verse 13,
• 39:42
  for instance. John saw three unclean spirits
• 39:45
  like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth
• 39:49
  of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
• 39:53
  Why does the psalmist refer to the mouth of babes as nursing
• 39:56
  infants? To show that we do not have to
• 39:59
  be spiritual giants. God has chosen the weak, the
• 40:03
  foolish, the things that are despised to bring to not all
• 40:07
  Satan's Kingdom in the heavenlies.
• 40:09
  The devil is so busy trying to keep you from praising the Lord
• 40:13
  when you effectively perfectly with your whole heart in unison.
• 40:17
  With one accord, praise the name of Jesus.
• 40:20
  It shuts the devil's mouth and if ever there was a thing he
• 40:25
  does not like, it is to have his mouth shut.
• 40:30
  He will do everything he can, religious pressure, social
• 40:33
  pressure, fear of man to keep you from turning loose in your
• 40:37
  prayers and praising the name of Jesus.
• 40:41
  The land and air around us can be purified through perfect
• 40:45
  praise. The blood of Jesus.
• 40:53
  Revelation 12, verse 11. They overcame him by the blood
• 40:58
  of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
• 41:01
  Who is they? The believers on earth.
• 41:04
  Who is him? Satan.
• 41:08
  What I want to emphasize is that the final victory comes not to
• 41:13
  God's angels, but to the believers.
• 41:16
  This passage describes war in heaven.
• 41:20
  Michael and his angels are fighting.
• 41:21
  Satan and his angels are fighting.
• 41:24
  But the believers overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by
• 41:28
  the word of their testimony. When you want to praise Jesus or
• 41:32
  utter the word of God, or testify to what the Lord has
• 41:35
  done for you, Satan will put a barrier in front of your lips.
• 41:39
  Why? Because you are casting down a
• 41:41
  stronghold. The blood of Jesus is the
• 41:44
  ultimate weapon. The whole issue of our battle
• 41:47
  against evil centers in one thing, righteousness.
• 41:51
  Because of Jesus's righteousness, God has made it
• 41:55
  possible that the devil will have nothing to bring against us
• 41:58
  in heaven. God made Jesus, who knew no sin,
• 42:02
  to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God
• 42:07
  in him. You can proffer the best Baptist
• 42:09
  lifestyle, you have the best Methodist principles, the best
• 42:13
  Roman Catholic piety, and he can tear it to shreds.
• 42:17
  But when you bring in the righteousness of Jesus Christ,
• 42:21
  he is silent. He has nothing more to say.
• 42:25
  You will find that you can almost measure your spiritual
• 42:28
  progress by the extent to which you accept and appropriate by
• 42:32
  faith the righteousness of Jesus Christ on your own behalf.
• 42:36
  This is the great lesson that we have to learn as children of
• 42:40
  God. We are accepted in the Beloved
• 42:43
  not for what we are, but for what Jesus is.
• 42:47
  The words of Jesus in Matthew 633 are often misunderstood.
• 42:52
  Seek first the heaven of God and his righteousness, in other
• 42:57
  words, not your own righteousness.
• 43:00
  In Romans 10/3, Paul wrote that the Jewish nation was attempting
• 43:05
  to establish its own righteousness.
• 43:08
  They had not submitted themselves to the righteousness
• 43:11
  of God by faith in Jesus Christ. It takes humility to accept
• 43:16
  Jesus righteousness because it means first of all we have
• 43:21
  renounced every shred of our old self righteousness.
• 43:25
  All our righteousness are like filthy rags.
• 43:28
  Notice not our sins, but our righteousness are nothing more
• 43:34
  than filthy rags in God's sight. As long as we flaunt the filthy
• 43:38
  rags of our church membership, our good.
• 43:40
  Deeds. Our godly living, the devil will
• 43:44
  tear us to shreds in the presence of God, but when we
• 43:48
  come to the place where we are relying on nothing but the blood
• 43:52
  of Jesus Christ and His righteousness, there is nothing
• 43:56
  in us that the devil can put his finger on and bring up by way of
• 44:01
  accusation before God. You might want to commit these
• 44:06
  verses to memory. Forgiven in Christ.
• 44:09
  Ephesians 17 tells us two things that we have when we are in
• 44:13
  Christ. In Christ we have redemption
• 44:16
  through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to
• 44:19
  the riches of His grace. Remember when we are outside of
• 44:24
  Christ, the blood does not avail.
• 44:26
  Redemption means bought back by a ransom price that had to be
• 44:32
  paid. Psalm one O 7 verse 2.
• 44:35
  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from
• 44:40
  the hand of the enemy. This, by the way, is one of the
• 44:44
  most powerful scriptures for teaching us the value of
• 44:47
  testimony. Let the redeemed of the Lord say
• 44:49
  so means to take the Word and use it.
• 44:53
  Here then is my testimony on the basis of Ephesians 17.
• 44:57
  Through the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the
• 45:01
  devil. This same scripture tells me
• 45:04
  that all my sins are forgiven. So my next testimony is this,
• 45:08
  through the blood of Jesus all my sins are forgiven.
• 45:12
  Next is first John chapter one, verse 7.
• 45:17
  If we walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, we have
• 45:21
  fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ, God's
• 45:25
  Son, cleanses us from all sin. These verbs are all continuing
• 45:30
  present tenses indicating an ongoing process.
• 45:34
  If we walk in the light continuously, we will have
• 45:37
  fellowship continuously and the blood will cleanse us
• 45:40
  continuously. The cleansing by the blood of
• 45:43
  Jesus is not a single isolated experience.
• 45:47
  It is ever present. This is why we pray without
• 45:50
  ceasing that fellowship and prayer keeps us cleansed.
• 45:55
  If I am meeting the conditions, if I am walking in the light, if
• 45:59
  I am in fellowship with my fellow believers, then my
• 46:02
  testimony is this. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's
• 46:06
  Son, continually cleanses me from all sin.
• 46:12
  Romans 59 tells us that we are justified by His blood.
• 46:18
  The word justified is not understood by many present day
• 46:21
  believers. Just and righteousness are
• 46:24
  interchangeable terms both in Hebrew and in Greek, in the Old
• 46:28
  Testament and in the New. So to be justified means to be
• 46:32
  made righteous. Here is our next testimony.
• 46:35
  Through the blood of Jesus I am justified, made righteous, just
• 46:41
  as if I'd never sinned. Hebrews 1312 tells us that
• 46:47
  through the blood of Jesus we are sanctified, that He might
• 46:50
  sanctify the people with his own blood suffered outside the gate.
• 46:55
  The word sanctify is similar in form to the word justify.
• 46:59
  To justify means to make just or righteous.
• 47:03
  To sanctify means to make saintly or holy.
• 47:07
  Here is our next testimony. Through the blood of Jesus, I am
• 47:11
  sanctified, made holy, set apart to God.
• 47:16
  The climax of our testimony is found in First Corinthians
• 47:19
  chapter 6, verse 19 and 20. I want to look first, however,
• 47:25
  at two other verses from this chapter in First Corinthians.
• 47:29
  Here is one. Now the body is not for sexual
• 47:32
  immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
• 47:37
  And then we read, Do you not know that your bodies are
• 47:42
  members of Christ? Or do you not know that your
• 47:45
  body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you
• 47:49
  have from God, and you are not your own?
• 47:53
  For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your
• 47:58
  body and in your spirit, which are gods.
• 48:03
  The Lord wants you for Himself. He has paid the price of His
• 48:07
  precious blood. If you want to hold on to your
• 48:11
  own life, you can. But remember, in that case you
• 48:15
  have not been bought. You cannot have it both ways.
• 48:19
  If you belong to God, you do not belong to yourself.
• 48:22
  If you belong to yourself, you do not belong to God.
• 48:26
  This is our next testimony. My body is a temple of the Holy
• 48:30
  Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, sanctified by the blood of
• 48:35
  Jesus. Therefore, Satan has no place in
• 48:38
  me, no power over me through the blood of Jesus.
• 48:43
  Here then, is our testimony by which we apply the blood to our
• 48:46
  lives. The references precede each
• 48:49
  confession. Through the blood of Jesus, I am
• 48:52
  redeemed out of the hand of the devil.
• 48:56
  Through the blood of Jesus, all my sins are forgiven.
• 49:01
  The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses me continually
• 49:04
  from all sin. Through the blood of Jesus, I am
• 49:08
  justified, made righteous, just as if I'd never sinned.
• 49:14
  Through the blood of Jesus I am sanctified, made holy and set
• 49:18
  apart. My body is a temple of the Holy
• 49:21
  Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, sanctified by the blood of
• 49:26
  Jesus. Therefore, Satan has no place in
• 49:29
  me, no power over me through the blood of Jesus.
• 49:35
  If you really believe those words, the next.
• 49:37
  Thing to do is. Praise the Lord for it.
• 49:41
  Here is a word of praise that you might use.
• 49:44
  Thank you God, for the precious blood of Jesus.
• 49:48
  Thank you for the redemptive blood of Christ.
• 49:50
  Thank you for the justifying, sanctifying, precious blood of
• 49:53
  the Lamb of God. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
• 49:58
  I praise you, Jesus, for you paid the price of my redemption.
• 50:02
  You shed your precious blood on the cross.
• 50:05
  You are the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
• 50:09
  And now, Lord, I have taken the blood from the basin and
• 50:13
  transferred it to my own personal needs by the word of my
• 50:17
  testimony. Amen.
• 50:21
  Let me direct. Your attention to one more
• 50:22
  passage of Scripture that is relevant to this type of prayer.
• 50:26
  Speaking about Jesus, the Word says this.
• 50:30
  This is he who came by the water and blood, Jesus Christ, not
• 50:35
  only by water, but by water and blood.
• 50:38
  And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is
• 50:42
  truth. There are three that bear
• 50:45
  witness on earth, the Spirit, the water and the blood, and
• 50:50
  these three agree as one. There is nothing in the
• 50:54
  Christian life that is just a set of rules.
• 50:56
  Salvation is not a technique. Healing is not a technique.
• 51:00
  Deliverance from evil spirits is not a technique.
• 51:03
  Anybody who tries to reduce any of these things to a set of
• 51:07
  rules misses the point. The purpose of it all is this.
• 51:13
  When we use the water of the Word, when we use the blood in
• 51:16
  our testimony, and when the Spirit bears witness, then
• 51:20
  heaven's floor drops out and heaven comes to earth.
• 51:25
  Wherever God's people fast and come together and praise, there
• 51:30
  always will be prophetic revelation.
• 51:33
  Prophetic ministry comes out of the fellowship of God's people
• 51:36
  earnestly seeking Him. No religious games, no parlor
• 51:40
  tricks, no spiritual cocktail parties, just desperate hearts
• 51:45
  before God. You minister to the Lord.
• 51:49
  He ministers to your problems. If God's people could only see
• 51:53
  this. Our weapons are mighty through
• 51:57
  God. We reach up to God and we split
• 52:00
  that mid heaven of darkness between us.
• 52:03
  God reaches down and touches whatever problems we face as
• 52:07
  nations and individuals when we use the spiritual weapons that
• 52:11
  God has given us. God will be just as faithful to
• 52:14
  us today. Matthew chapter 18 verse 19 and
• 52:18
  20. Again I say to you that if 2 of
• 52:21
  you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will
• 52:25
  be done for them by my Father in heaven.
• 52:29
  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I
• 52:32
  am there in the midst of them. There are twelve types of
• 52:49
  prayer, praise and Thanksgiving, Worship, petition, intercession,
• 52:57
  supplication, command, commitment, dedication,
• 53:03
  persistence, blessing, imprecatory or cursing, praise
• 53:10
  and Thanksgiving. It is a good habit to start your
• 53:14
  prayers with praise and Thanksgiving.
• 53:18
  Praise is offered to God for who He is and what He does in
• 53:23
  general. Thanksgiving is offered to God
• 53:27
  for what He has done for us. In particular, Psalms 48 verse
• 53:32
  one tells us great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
• 53:38
  Praise is vocal, it is uttered. Praise should be offered in
• 53:43
  proportion to God's own person. He is great.
• 53:47
  Great in wisdom, great in power, great in His creative works,
• 53:53
  great in His redemptive acts, great in His dealings with us.
• 53:58
  Everything that God is and does is great.
• 54:03
  He should therefore be greatly praised.
• 54:08
  We never waste time when we are praising the Lord.
• 54:13
  Most of us do it far too little. Thanksgiving is also vocal.
• 54:19
  It takes all the greatness that is universal about God and makes
• 54:24
  it specific to our particular cases.
• 54:28
  Listen to what Paul said. Be anxious for nothing, but in
• 54:33
  everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving.
• 54:38
  Let your requests be made known to God.
• 54:43
  Thanksgiving and praise gives us direct access to God.
• 54:48
  Psalm 100, verse 4 gives these familiar words.
• 54:54
  Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with
• 54:57
  praise. Give thanks to Him.
• 55:00
  Bless His name. The gate leads into the courts.
• 55:04
  The courts lead into His presence.
• 55:07
  You get through the gates with Thanksgiving and through the
• 55:10
  courts with praise. Then you are there.
• 55:17
  The true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and
• 55:21
  truth. Worship.
• 55:24
  Worship is not singing hymns or choruses.
• 55:27
  Worship is not a declaration of God's.
• 55:29
  Attributes. Vocal expression has to do with
• 55:33
  praise and Thanksgiving. Worship has to do with attitude.
• 55:38
  In the 6th chapter of Isaiah, the prophet described a vision
• 55:42
  of the throne of God. Above it he saw the seraphim,
• 55:46
  the burning, fiery creatures that surround God's throne.
• 55:51
  He saw that each had six wings, and he saw how they used them.
• 55:56
  With one pair of wings, a seraphim covered their faces,
• 56:00
  With the second pair they covered their feet.
• 56:02
  With the third pair, they flew. We understand from this picture
• 56:07
  that two pairs of wings are given to worship, indicating by
• 56:10
  covering their faces and feet, the third pair to service
• 56:15
  indicating by flying. This tells us that worship comes
• 56:19
  before service, and also that worship is twice as important as
• 56:24
  service. Worship, in a sense, is covering
• 56:28
  your face and your body. It is bowing low, bending the
• 56:32
  head. Of course, this does not have to
• 56:35
  be solely a description of a physical body.
• 56:38
  We are talking about something in the spirit, the approach of
• 56:42
  our spirits to God. This is represented in the
• 56:47
  Lord's Prayer. In this manner, therefore, pray
• 56:53
  our Father in heaven. After we have first addressed
• 56:57
  God, the next thing we say is hallowed.
• 57:00
  Be your name. Your name is holy.
• 57:03
  It is a privilege even to use your name.
• 57:06
  We do it with reverence. We do it in lowliness.
• 57:10
  We do it in awe and wonder and honor.
• 57:14
  That is worship, a heart bowed low in God's presence.
• 57:31
  Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask
• 57:36
  anything according to His will, He hears us.
• 57:41
  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we
• 57:46
  have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
• 57:51
  Petition is the most used prayer asking for physical and material
• 57:56
  needs to be met. But remember, praying is not
• 58:00
  just thinking of anything we want and asking for it.
• 58:04
  Praying is discovering God's revealed purpose in Scripture
• 58:09
  and then praying for the outworking of that purpose.
• 58:13
  It is not just asking that is important, but asking and
• 58:17
  receiving. I have seen this many times.
• 58:21
  God touches someone with a healing touch, but the person
• 58:24
  does not receive it. One way not to receive an answer
• 58:28
  to a petition is to go on praying for it.
• 58:32
  Some people pray themselves into faith and then pray themselves
• 58:37
  out of faith. Jesus was speaking about this
• 58:40
  very matter of petition when He said this.
• 58:43
  Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
• 58:48
  that you have received it and it will be yours.
• 58:52
  Notice this. Though.
• 58:55
  Receiving is not the same as having.
• 58:58
  Receiving is settling. It Having is the experience that
• 59:02
  follows the actual experience of having.
• 59:05
  What we have prayed for may have to wait, but by faith we receive
• 59:10
  what we pray for when we pray. Say you have a financial need,
• 59:15
  you pray you are in touch with God.
• 59:18
  You say God we need $2000 by Thursday.
• 59:22
  Then you say thank you, God, you have received it.
• 59:27
  Nothing has changed in the circumstances, but you have
• 59:30
  received it. You will have it.
• 59:33
  For example, if you have made a petition regarding physical
• 59:37
  healing, for instance, you say Thank you, Lord, you touched me.
• 59:42
  Your power is at work in my body.
• 59:45
  Every time you feel a twinge of pain or you see a symptom, you
• 59:49
  say, Thank you Lord, Your supernatural power is at work in
• 59:53
  my body, and as you respond that way, the healing is completed.
• 59:58
  Hebrews 10 tells us that we have need of endurance so that after
• 1:00:05
  we have done the will of God, we may receive the promise.
• 1:00:10
  In the gap between doing the will of God and receiving the
• 1:00:14
  promise, you can do two things. You can keep the plug in or pull
• 1:00:19
  the plug out if you pull the plug out.
• 1:00:22
  You get nothing. If you keep the plug in, you get
• 1:00:25
  everything. Something that can help us in
• 1:00:29
  this process of keeping the plug in is learning to make the right
• 1:00:33
  confession, that is declaring our faith boldly with our lips.
• 1:00:41
  I have found that there are certain ways to express your
• 1:00:44
  faith that have tremendous power.
• 1:00:48
  They release the power of God and they encourage us and
• 1:00:51
  strengthen us. Very often when I'm praying in
• 1:00:55
  the morning or at the end of the day, I make these simple
• 1:00:58
  confessions. Here, for instance, is a
• 1:01:02
  statement that concerns the body that I say several times a week.
• 1:01:07
  My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed,
• 1:01:12
  and sanctified by the blood of Jesus.
• 1:01:16
  My members are instruments of righteousness, yielded to God
• 1:01:19
  for His service and for His glory.
• 1:01:23
  The devil has no place in me, no power over me, no unsettled
• 1:01:28
  claims against me. All has been settled by the
• 1:01:32
  blood of Jesus. I overcome Satan by the blood of
• 1:01:36
  the Lamb and by the word of my testimony.
• 1:01:58
  Intercession. Intercession is one of the
• 1:02:01
  highest prayer skills for a Christian.
• 1:02:04
  It requires a lot of practice, skill, and maturity.
• 1:02:10
  To intercede means literally to come in between.
• 1:02:15
  The intercessor is one who comes in between God and those for
• 1:02:20
  whom he is praying. The Bible gives us examples of
• 1:02:25
  some extreme cases. One was the time that Abraham
• 1:02:29
  stood between the Lord and the wicked city of Sodom.
• 1:02:34
  Genesis 18 tells the story of the Lord and his two angels
• 1:02:38
  visiting Abraham's home, a remarkable picture of
• 1:02:41
  hospitality. Abraham offered them water to
• 1:02:45
  wash their feet. He killed a calf for their meal.
• 1:02:48
  He chatted with them in the shade of the terebinth trees.
• 1:02:52
  Then the Lord began to unfold to Abraham His purpose in being
• 1:02:56
  there. He was going down to the wicked
• 1:02:58
  cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to investigate the situation and
• 1:03:02
  take appropriate action. Now this concerned Abraham quite
• 1:03:06
  a bit because his nephew Lot, who was in a backslidden
• 1:03:10
  condition, was living in Sodom. Abraham knew that if judgement
• 1:03:15
  came upon Sodom, Lot and his family would.
• 1:03:17
  Be part of that. Judgement.
• 1:03:18
  At that point the men, meaning the two angels, turned away from
• 1:03:24
  there and went towards Sodom, but Abraham still stood before
• 1:03:28
  the Lord. That is the position of the
• 1:03:31
  intercessor. Abraham stood in front of the
• 1:03:35
  Lord and said, Lord, hold on a moment, don't just go yet.
• 1:03:40
  I have something to say to you. In a sense, he held the Lord
• 1:03:44
  back and then began a time of bargaining.
• 1:03:48
  Abraham asked if the Lord would spare the cities if he could
• 1:03:52
  find 50 righteous people, then 40, and so on until the Lord
• 1:03:57
  agreed to spare Sodom for the sake of 10 righteous persons.
• 1:04:01
  When someone's sin has caused a breach, the intercessor stands
• 1:04:05
  before God and says, Lord, I'm stopping the gap.
• 1:04:09
  Your blow can't fall upon him unless it first falls upon me.
• 1:04:14
  When Moses had to come down the mountain and discover the molten
• 1:04:17
  calf, I want you to notice that God would not act against His
• 1:04:22
  people in this manner unless Moses complied.
• 1:04:25
  He said, Moses, get out of my way and let me deal with these
• 1:04:30
  people. You see Moses, I can wipe them
• 1:04:34
  out and still keep my promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 1:04:39
  I will simply establish you as the one whom I rebuild this
• 1:04:44
  great nation. Moses could have said, Yes, God,
• 1:04:48
  blot out the people. After all, they have been
• 1:04:51
  nothing but a burden on me since I LED them out of Egypt.
• 1:04:55
  Start again with me. I'll be a great ancestor of this
• 1:04:59
  people. Could you imagine being in that
• 1:05:02
  conversation? That's not what Moses did.
• 1:05:05
  He showed maturity. Moses besought the Lord his God
• 1:05:09
  and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy
• 1:05:13
  people, which thou has brought forth out of the land of Egypt?
• 1:05:17
  In other words, Lord, they're not mine, they're yours.
• 1:05:22
  I can't handle them. You are the one to deal with
• 1:05:26
  them. Then this humble man of prayer
• 1:05:28
  went to work. He stated first that his supreme
• 1:05:31
  concern was for God's glory. He argued that since God had
• 1:05:35
  brought these people out of Egypt, the Egyptians would say
• 1:05:40
  that he had evil intentions against them all along.
• 1:05:44
  Next he reminded God of his promise and his covenant.
• 1:05:48
  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy servants, to whom
• 1:05:52
  thou swearest by thine own self, and settest unto them I will
• 1:05:57
  multiply your seed as the stars of heaven.
• 1:06:01
  And all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your
• 1:06:05
  seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
• 1:06:10
  And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto
• 1:06:14
  his people. Having stayed the Lord's hand,
• 1:06:17
  Moses went down to the bottom of the mountain, dealt with the
• 1:06:20
  people, then came up again. Moses returned to the Lord, and
• 1:06:24
  said, O, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them
• 1:06:29
  gods of gold. Yet now if thou wilt forgive
• 1:06:33
  their sin, and if not, blot me, I pray thee out of thy book
• 1:06:38
  which thou hast written. In this exchange, we see Moses's
• 1:06:43
  heart of fervent prayer, supplication, and intercession.
• 1:06:48
  God, these people have sinned grievously.
• 1:06:51
  They deserve your stroke. I ask that you have mercy on
• 1:06:55
  them. But if not, Lord, let their
• 1:06:58
  judgement come upon me. Psalm One, O 6, gives a divine
• 1:07:02
  commentary on this incident. They made a calf in Horeb, and
• 1:07:08
  worshipped the molten image. Thus they change their glory
• 1:07:12
  into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
• 1:07:16
  They forgot God their Savior, which had done great things in
• 1:07:20
  Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things
• 1:07:25
  by the Red Sea. Therefore he said that he would
• 1:07:29
  destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the
• 1:07:33
  breach to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
• 1:07:38
  When someone's sin has caused a breach, the intercessor stands
• 1:07:42
  before God and says, Lord, I'm stopping the gap.
• 1:07:45
  Your blow can't fall upon him unless it first falls upon me.
• 1:07:50
  This is not the only form of intercession, but it is the
• 1:07:53
  Supreme. The intercessor is God centered.
• 1:07:58
  He is not problem focused. He is not focused on what man
• 1:08:03
  can or cannot do. He has a vision of what God can
• 1:08:07
  do when no intercessor can be found among God's people.
• 1:08:12
  It is the supreme mark of failure in our responsibility to
• 1:08:17
  God and to our fellow man. Supplication.
• 1:08:26
  Supplication is a complicated word for some people.
• 1:08:30
  When you are supplicating, you are a supplicant.
• 1:08:34
  There is only one thing you ask for, mercy.
• 1:08:39
  It is often tied to intercession.
• 1:08:42
  Let's look at two passages that describe this.
• 1:08:46
  Zechariah 12 verse 10 is a prophecy directed at Israel.
• 1:08:52
  The Lord was speaking and he said, I will pour on the House
• 1:08:56
  of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace
• 1:09:01
  and supplication. Notice the order.
• 1:09:04
  First grace, then supplication. If you say God, I want to come
• 1:09:10
  before you in supplication. God will say, if I don't give
• 1:09:14
  you the grace, you can't do it. Actually, no prayer of any value
• 1:09:19
  can be offered to God without His grace.
• 1:09:23
  If it does not initiate in the grace of God, it is worthless.
• 1:09:27
  The next part of that verse in Zechariah 12 reads.
• 1:09:31
  Then they will look on me whom they pierced.
• 1:09:34
  Yes, they will mourn for him as one mourns for his only Son, and
• 1:09:40
  grieve for him as one grieves for a first born.
• 1:09:44
  This verse describes the turning point of God's dealings with
• 1:09:47
  Israel. It is the point at which they
• 1:09:50
  come to repentance and acknowledgement of the Messiah,
• 1:09:53
  and it is brought about by the spirit of grace and
• 1:09:57
  supplication. Hebrews 4 gives another
• 1:10:00
  beautiful picture of supplication, one we have
• 1:10:03
  already viewed. Hebrews, of course, was written
• 1:10:07
  to Jewish believers. Let us therefore come boldly to
• 1:10:11
  the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to
• 1:10:15
  help in time of need. God sits upon a throne, but it
• 1:10:20
  is a throne of grace. And what do we come for?
• 1:10:24
  To obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
• 1:10:29
  If you tend to feel overwhelmed by a particularly serious
• 1:10:34
  situation and think that there is nothing left to do, then hear
• 1:10:38
  what God says. The time of need is the time to
• 1:10:43
  come. The only people who fail to
• 1:10:45
  receive mercy and grace are the people who do not come to the
• 1:10:49
  throne. We do not see our own need.
• 1:10:53
  We are blinded by self righteousness and religiosity.
• 1:10:58
  But if we could earn God's mercy, we would not need it.
• 1:11:11
  Command speaks with aggression and authority.
• 1:11:14
  Joshua 10 is a good place to start.
• 1:11:17
  This scripture describes a scene in the middle of a battle.
• 1:11:20
  The Israelites were defeating their enemies, but it was
• 1:11:23
  getting dark. If night fell, they would not be
• 1:11:27
  able to finish the job. Off.
• 1:11:29
  Verses 12 through 14 when Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day
• 1:11:34
  when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of
• 1:11:38
  Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel sun stands still over
• 1:11:45
  Gibeon and moon in the valley of Ajalon.
• 1:11:51
  So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people
• 1:11:56
  had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book
• 1:12:01
  of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the
• 1:12:04
  midst of the heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a
• 1:12:09
  whole day. And there has been no day like
• 1:12:13
  that before or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a
• 1:12:18
  man. That is the prayer of command
• 1:12:21
  addressed to the Lord. We can tell situations and
• 1:12:25
  circumstances how to behave, but we will not have results unless
• 1:12:30
  we have first contacted the Lord and 2nd received the anointing,
• 1:12:35
  the release for such a prayer. The New Testament example is the
• 1:12:39
  incident of the fig tree that Jesus cursed.
• 1:12:42
  There are two gospel accounts of this story.
• 1:12:45
  Here's the first. Now in the morning as he
• 1:12:49
  returned to the city, he was hungry, and seeing a fig tree by
• 1:12:53
  the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves.
• 1:12:57
  And he said to it, Let no fruit grow on you ever again.
• 1:13:02
  Immediately the fig tree withered away, and when the
• 1:13:07
  disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the
• 1:13:11
  fig tree wither away so soon? So Jesus answered and said to
• 1:13:15
  them, assuredly. I say to you, if you have faith
• 1:13:19
  and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig
• 1:13:23
  tree, but also if you say to this mountain be removed and be
• 1:13:28
  cast into the sea, it will be done.
• 1:13:32
  And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will
• 1:13:35
  receive notice. There are two ways of using
• 1:13:39
  words of command that are brought out there.
• 1:13:42
  One way is toward things on behalf of God.
• 1:13:45
  The other way is toward God on behalf of things.
• 1:13:48
  Jesus did not pray about the fig tree.
• 1:13:51
  He also did not pray to the fig tree, which would have been
• 1:13:54
  idolatry. He spoke to the fig tree on
• 1:13:58
  behalf of God. This was not prayer.
• 1:14:02
  He simply told the fig tree what to do, and the fig tree did it
• 1:14:07
  according to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:14:09
  Then we may either speak to the thing on behalf of God, as Jesus
• 1:14:14
  did to the fig tree, or speak to God on behalf of a thing which
• 1:14:19
  is what we normally call prayer. The same incident is recorded in
• 1:14:23
  Mark 11. But there is one further truth
• 1:14:26
  revealed by Jesus which really is key into understanding it
• 1:14:31
  all. Now in the morning as they
• 1:14:34
  passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots, and
• 1:14:38
  Peter remembering, said to him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree which
• 1:14:41
  you cursed has withered away. So Jesus answered and said to
• 1:14:45
  them, Have faith in God. The literal translation is have
• 1:14:50
  the faith of God. The prayer of command is God's
• 1:14:55
  faith expressed in utterances. Thus it is just as authoritative
• 1:15:00
  as if God Himself had spoken them.
• 1:15:02
  In a certain sense, because these words are being breathed
• 1:15:06
  forth by the Spirit of God, they are God-given utterances.
• 1:15:11
  Scripture affirms that this word of command is for us to employ
• 1:15:15
  today. The effective, fervent prayer of
• 1:15:19
  a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature
• 1:15:24
  like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not
• 1:15:28
  rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six
• 1:15:32
  months. And he prayed again, and the
• 1:15:35
  heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
• 1:15:39
  In other words, through fervent prayer, you and I can do the
• 1:15:44
  same. That same power is available to
• 1:15:46
  us. This instrument of prayer is
• 1:15:49
  particularly appropriate to use when we follow Jesus directive
• 1:15:54
  to cast out demons. Commitment.
• 1:16:08
  As with the prayer of petition, where we ask for something in
• 1:16:11
  prayer, in commitment. The way to pray about a thing is
• 1:16:15
  to stop praying about it. I am sure that statement was as
• 1:16:19
  clear as mud so. Let's dive into it.
• 1:16:23
  Here is a prayer of commitment. You will recognize that the
• 1:16:27
  first part of this verse from the Psalms was quoted by Jesus
• 1:16:31
  on the cross. Into your hand I commit.
• 1:16:34
  My spirit. You have redeemed to me.
• 1:16:37
  O Lord God of Truth, there are times when our best decision is
• 1:16:43
  to commit our situations to the Lord and simply take our hands
• 1:16:48
  off. A modern commitment phrase you
• 1:16:50
  may have heard is. Jesus, take the wheel.
• 1:16:54
  Basically, there is nothing you can do and you feel like the
• 1:16:59
  situation is hopeless. Commit your way to the Lord,
• 1:17:04
  trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to.
• 1:17:07
  Pass. The Hebrew actually says roll
• 1:17:10
  your way on the Lord. When your way becomes too heavy
• 1:17:14
  for you and you can no longer handle it, just roll it off onto
• 1:17:19
  the Lord and He will take care of it.
• 1:17:23
  Commitment is an act and once you commit you should not go
• 1:17:27
  back and see if it's working. You trust.
• 1:17:31
  So if you commit something to the Lord, leave it.
• 1:17:41
  Dedication. Dedication is similar to
• 1:17:47
  commitment. In both cases we give the object
• 1:17:50
  of our prayer to the Lord, but in dedication the thing we are
• 1:17:54
  offering is ourselves. In a prayer of dedication we set
• 1:17:58
  ourselves apart, choosing to consecrate or sanctify ourselves
• 1:18:03
  for the particular work or calling that God has placed on
• 1:18:07
  our lives. John 17 verse 19, which is part
• 1:18:11
  of what we call the High priestly prayer of Jesus.
• 1:18:15
  He was speaking about his relationship to his disciples
• 1:18:19
  and to the Father. He said for their sakes, I
• 1:18:22
  sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
• 1:18:27
  Like Jesus, if we choose to set ourselves apart to God, then we
• 1:18:32
  belong to God. We are in His hands and are not
• 1:18:36
  allowed to do what we want. Jesus said in John 10 verse 36
• 1:18:42
  that the Father had sanctified him and sent him into the world.
• 1:18:48
  How did the Father sanctify Jesus?
• 1:18:50
  He did not make him holy, of course, because he was already
• 1:18:54
  holy. Rather, He set him apart to a
• 1:18:58
  work that no one else could do. So Jesus at this point was
• 1:19:02
  saying, I sanctify myself. I set myself apart to the work
• 1:19:07
  for which God has already set me apart, Always with
• 1:19:11
  sanctification. The initiative is with God.
• 1:19:14
  You cannot sanctify yourself for something for which God has not
• 1:19:18
  sanctified you. You have to find out what God
• 1:19:21
  has set you apart for, and then you set yourself apart to do it,
• 1:19:27
  responding with your own will. God has set us apart, but it
• 1:19:32
  does not become effective until we set ourselves apart.
• 1:19:37
  You do not have to do this. This is voluntary, but remember
• 1:19:41
  that the Bible does not give you permission to make a vow and
• 1:19:45
  then ask to change it back. Persistence.
• 1:20:00
  Jesus taught his disciples to take up the prayer instrument of
• 1:20:03
  persistence. Luke 11 verse 5 through 8.
• 1:20:08
  And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and go
• 1:20:13
  to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend ME3 loaves.
• 1:20:18
  For a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have
• 1:20:22
  nothing to set before him, and he will answer from within, and
• 1:20:27
  say, Do not trouble me. The door is now shut, and my
• 1:20:32
  children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give it to
• 1:20:36
  you. I say to you, though he will not
• 1:20:40
  rise and give to him, because he is his friend, yet because of
• 1:20:46
  his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
• 1:20:51
  In other words, you keep on knocking, letting your friend
• 1:20:55
  know he is not going to get any sleep that night until he gets
• 1:21:00
  up and gives you the bread. Jesus commanded that kind of
• 1:21:04
  persistence. So I say to you, ask and it will
• 1:21:10
  be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be
• 1:21:15
  open to you, for everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks
• 1:21:22
  finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
• 1:21:27
  This is quite different from the prayer of petition, which
• 1:21:31
  receives the thing being prayed for, even though it often
• 1:21:34
  requires perseverance to keep the plug in.
• 1:21:39
  In that case, you pray, you receive, you say thank you,
• 1:21:43
  Lord. That is it.
• 1:21:45
  In this kind of persistent prayer, you go on knocking,
• 1:21:49
  knocking, knocking, knocking. Continue to ask for the thing
• 1:21:53
  you desire until the doors open. Acts 12 gives us an example of
• 1:21:59
  persistent prayer by the early church.
• 1:22:02
  King Herod had the apostle James, the brother of John,
• 1:22:06
  executed. Then he proceeded to arrest
• 1:22:09
  Peter and hold him for execution immediately after the Passover.
• 1:22:15
  At this point the church in Jerusalem betook themselves to
• 1:22:18
  earnest, persistent prayer on Peter's behalf.
• 1:22:23
  Sometimes God will not work merely through a prayer of an
• 1:22:26
  individual. It takes the corporate prayer of
• 1:22:29
  a group of committed believers praying together.
• 1:22:32
  So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying
• 1:22:36
  to God for him. Notice that word.
• 1:22:39
  But that butt changed the course of events. the United corporate
• 1:22:44
  prayer of the church opened the way for the intervention of an
• 1:22:48
  Angel who came from God and delivered Peter out of the
• 1:22:52
  prison. In this way the prayers of the
• 1:22:55
  Church for Peter were answered, but it still remained for God to
• 1:22:59
  deal with King Herod. In the closing verses of Acts
• 1:23:02
  12, Luke described Herod, arrayed in his royal apparel,
• 1:23:06
  making a speech to the people of Tahrir and Saddam.
• 1:23:10
  At the end of his oration, the people applauded, shouting.
• 1:23:14
  This is the voice of God, not of a man puffed up with conceit at
• 1:23:20
  his own achievement. Herod accepted the applause.
• 1:23:24
  The record concludes that immediately an Angel of the Lord
• 1:23:28
  struck Herod down because he did not give God the glory, and he
• 1:23:32
  was eaten by worms and died. See again the outworking of the
• 1:23:38
  persistent prayer of the church. Everything that had been
• 1:23:41
  resisting the Word and the purpose of God was overthrown,
• 1:23:45
  and Herod died a miserable, agonizing, and shameful death.
• 1:23:50
  Notice that it was the intervention of an Angel that
• 1:23:53
  terminated the career of Herod. What brought the intervention of
• 1:23:57
  the Angel? Twice in this story?
• 1:24:00
  The prayer of the church. So we ask ourselves in the light
• 1:24:03
  of all that, who was really ruling?
• 1:24:07
  Was it Herod or the Church? The answer is Herod sat on the
• 1:24:11
  throne, but the Church ruled by, in this case, persistent prayer.
• 1:24:18
  If you really believe you are going to get it, you will not
• 1:24:20
  stop. The only way you can lose is by
• 1:24:24
  giving up. Since many prayers of
• 1:24:26
  persistence and petition as well involve the need for some aspect
• 1:24:30
  of healing, I want to mention here the difference between the
• 1:24:34
  working out of miracles and healings, for the two are
• 1:24:37
  distinct. Miracles actually go beyond
• 1:24:40
  healings. Miracles are often instantaneous
• 1:24:44
  and often visible, whereas healings are often invisible and
• 1:24:48
  gradual. Some people come to get healed
• 1:24:52
  and if they do not get a miracle, they think nothing has
• 1:24:55
  happened, but it may be that they are receiving a healing.
• 1:25:00
  This is very important to understand because if you're
• 1:25:03
  receiving a healing, a lot will depend on how you respond.
• 1:25:13
  Blessing. Here is a biblical prayer of
• 1:25:17
  blessing that will likely be familiar to you #623 to 26 Speak
• 1:25:23
  to Aaron and his son, saying, this is the way you shall bless
• 1:25:27
  the children of Israel. Say to them, the Lord bless you
• 1:25:31
  and keep you. The Lord make his face shine
• 1:25:34
  upon you and be gracious. To you.
• 1:25:37
  The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
• 1:25:43
  Here are 6 blessings that you can pray for someone you want to
• 1:25:46
  bless. The Lord bless you, keep you,
• 1:25:51
  make His face shine upon you, Be gracious to lift up His
• 1:25:56
  countenance upon you and give you peace.
• 1:26:01
  So they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will
• 1:26:06
  bless. Them.
• 1:26:07
  Putting His name on them makes them complete.
• 1:26:10
  This is how you can bless your children.
• 1:26:13
  You can put the name of the Lord upon them every day when they go
• 1:26:16
  to school or about their various activities and He will keep them
• 1:26:27
  imprecatory or cursing. The other side of blessing is
• 1:26:32
  cursing. Most Christians are not aware
• 1:26:35
  that we are also charged to curse.
• 1:26:38
  But let me say initially that this is not a license to bring
• 1:26:41
  destruction wherever you choose. Let's return to the story in
• 1:26:46
  Matthew 21 of Jesus walking past the fig tree that had no fruit
• 1:26:51
  on it, only leaves. A lot of.
• 1:26:54
  Plans and programs and other things we see today look as
• 1:26:58
  though they might have fruit, but there is none when you look
• 1:27:01
  closer. Jesus was not indifferent about
• 1:27:04
  this. He did not say, well, nothing
• 1:27:07
  there. He said, let no one ever eat
• 1:27:10
  fruit from you again. The next morning, as we have
• 1:27:13
  noted, when they passed by the fig tree, it was withered from
• 1:27:16
  the roots. The disciples were impressed and
• 1:27:19
  this is what Jesus said to them. So Jesus answered and said to
• 1:27:24
  them, assuredly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt,
• 1:27:30
  you will not only do what was done to the fig tree.
• 1:27:32
  But also. If you say to this mountain be
• 1:27:36
  removed and be cast into the sea, it will be done.
• 1:27:40
  Now we all focus on removing the mountain, but Jesus said we can
• 1:27:44
  also do what was done to the fig tree.
• 1:27:46
  It was cursed. But if the Spirit of God prompts
• 1:27:50
  you to use this kind of prayer, it can further the purpose of
• 1:27:54
  God. Jesus was never indifferent, He
• 1:27:57
  was never neutral. He was either for or against and
• 1:28:02
  he expected everybody. To be like him, let's put these
• 1:28:12
  twelve types of prayers into practice.
• 1:28:16
  The goal is to open your thoughts in a new way that the
• 1:28:20
  organized churches does not teach.
• 1:28:23
  Prayers first activate the spirit realm before they come
• 1:28:27
  into our realm. So while these prayers may seem
• 1:28:32
  fantastical in the spirit realm, they are heat seeking weapons.
• 1:28:37
  Unlock your belief and know that what you pray for terrifies the
• 1:28:43
  enemy. What you pray for brings light
• 1:28:47
  into the darkness. Here is a prayer for repentance
• 1:28:52
  and confession of sins. Father God, I come to you in the
• 1:28:58
  name of Jesus, asking for forgiveness of my sins.
• 1:29:03
  I'm repenting for Call out all the sins that you know you are
• 1:29:07
  currently participating in. I ask you to wash me clean from
• 1:29:12
  these sins. Guide me by your Holy Spirit to
• 1:29:16
  doing the things that are pleasing to you.
• 1:29:20
  Cleanse my mind so that I will have pure thoughts.
• 1:29:24
  Cleanse my tongue so that my speech may be pleasing to you.
• 1:29:30
  Cleanse my ears so that I will listen to only what you want me
• 1:29:35
  to hear. Wash my hands so I will only
• 1:29:39
  touch what you want me to touch. Wash my feet so that I will
• 1:29:44
  travel only where you would have me go and forgive me for moving
• 1:29:50
  towards evil. I accept the completed work of
• 1:29:53
  Jesus who died on the cross for all my sins.
• 1:29:56
  I consider myself clean in the eyes of the spiritual beings
• 1:30:00
  that are around me. I am a new creation and old
• 1:30:05
  things have passed away and there is now no condemnation for
• 1:30:09
  those who are in Christ Jesus. When they look at me, they see
• 1:30:13
  me clothed in the righteousness of Christ in Jesus name, Amen.
• 1:30:27
  This next prayer is called the Evening Prayer and is found in
• 1:30:31
  Dan Duvall's book, Prayers that Shake Heaven and Earth, Book one
• 1:30:35
  of Three. It's also found on his website,
• 1:30:38
  bridemovement.com. Dan has also cited the
• 1:30:41
  scriptures that are used in the prayer.
• 1:30:45
  Father, I come before you in prayer.
• 1:30:47
  I enter into your gates with Thanksgiving and enter into your
• 1:30:50
  courts with praise. I praise you because you are
• 1:30:53
  worthy, holy, righteous and just.
• 1:30:55
  I plead the blood of Jesus over myself, my dwelling place, my
• 1:30:59
  spouse, my children, my car, my bank accounts, and everything
• 1:31:03
  under my stewardship. I pray that your heavenly hosts,
• 1:31:06
  your angels would guard this dwelling place roundabout both
• 1:31:10
  above and below and against every dimensional access point
• 1:31:13
  in Jesus name. I will see of the Lord that you
• 1:31:15
  are my refuge and my fortress. My God, in you will I trust.
• 1:31:19
  I thank You that you set a hedge of protection round about me,
• 1:31:22
  that no plague will come near my dwelling.
• 1:31:24
  I thank you in advance that every curse, hex, spell,
• 1:31:27
  incantation, voodoo, sorcery, form of witchcraft, dark art, or
• 1:31:31
  other form of weaponized demonic activity sent against me would
• 1:31:34
  be reversed upon the heads of the center sevenfold, that they
• 1:31:37
  would know that Jesus is Lord. Moreover, I pray that every
• 1:31:40
  human spirit, fallen angelic spirit, or otherwise malevolent
• 1:31:43
  spirit attempting to come against me or my household would
• 1:31:46
  be apprehended by our heavenly hosts such that they cannot so
• 1:31:49
  much as set foot upon this property.
• 1:31:52
  I pray that they would be escorted out to wherever the
• 1:31:54
  Lord Jesus sends them Pierce through with many arrows,
• 1:31:57
  discomforted by the lightning in the process, that they would
• 1:32:00
  know that Jesus is Lord. Furthermore, I cancel and render
• 1:32:03
  powerless all attempts at mind to mind communication, dream
• 1:32:06
  manipulation, and all other forms of psychic and telepathic
• 1:32:09
  intrusion in the name of Jesus. I thank You that all of my
• 1:32:12
  dreams are inspired by Your Holy Spirit.
• 1:32:15
  I declare that my sleep will be sweet, uninterrupted, and that
• 1:32:18
  upon waking I will be well rested.
• 1:32:20
  I also put on the armor of light.
• 1:32:22
  I take up the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of
• 1:32:25
  righteousness, the belt of truth.
• 1:32:26
  I declare that my feet are shod with the preparation of the
• 1:32:29
  gospel of peace, and I take up the shield of faith to quench
• 1:32:32
  every fiery dart of the wicked one and the sword of the Spirit,
• 1:32:34
  which is the word of God. I pray all of this in the mighty
• 1:32:37
  name of Jesus. Amen.
• 1:32:44
  Father, I come before you in prayer.
• 1:32:46
  I enter into your gates with Thanksgiving, and enter into
• 1:32:49
  your courts with praise. Enter into His gates with
• 1:32:52
  Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.
• 1:32:56
  Be thankful unto Him and bless His name.
• 1:32:59
  As I praise you because you are worthy, holy, righteous, and
• 1:33:02
  just, I plead the blood of Jesus over myself, my dwelling place,
• 1:33:06
  my spouse, my children, my car, my bank accounts, and everything
• 1:33:11
  under my stewardship. And they overcame him by the
• 1:33:14
  blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, And
• 1:33:17
  they loved not their lives unto death.
• 1:33:20
  Revelation 12 verse. 10. I pray that your heavenly hosts,
• 1:33:25
  your angels, would guard this dwelling place round about both
• 1:33:29
  above and below and against every dimensional access point
• 1:33:32
  in Jesus name. And Elijah prayed and said,
• 1:33:36
  Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.
• 1:33:40
  And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw.
• 1:33:45
  And behold, the mountain was full of horses and Chariots of
• 1:33:50
  fire round about Elijah. Second Kings, chapter 6, verse
• 1:33:55
  17. I will see of the Lord that you
• 1:33:58
  are my refuge and my fortress. My God, in you will I trust.
• 1:34:02
  I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God,
• 1:34:08
  in him will I trust. Psalms, chapter 91.
• 1:34:12
  Verse 2. I thank you that you set a hedge
• 1:34:15
  of protection round about me, that no plague will come near my
• 1:34:18
  dwelling. There shall no evil befall thee,
• 1:34:21
  neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
• 1:34:25
  Psalm chapter 91, verse 10. I thank you in advance that
• 1:34:29
  every curse, hex, spell, incantation, voodoo, sorcery,
• 1:34:33
  form of witchcraft, dark art, or other form of weaponized demonic
• 1:34:37
  activity sent against me would be reversed upon the heads of
• 1:34:39
  the sender sevenfold that they would know that Jesus is Lord.
• 1:34:43
  The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against
• 1:34:47
  thee to be smitten before thy face.
• 1:34:50
  They shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee
• 1:34:55
  seven ways. Deuteronomy chapter 28, verse 7.
• 1:35:02
  Moreover, I pray that every human spirit, fallen angelic
• 1:35:05
  spirit, or otherwise malevolent spirit attempting to come
• 1:35:07
  against me or my household would be apprehended by our heavenly
• 1:35:10
  hosts such that they cannot so much as set foot upon this
• 1:35:13
  property. Demons are not the only spirits
• 1:35:18
  lurking around. The devil also has human agents
• 1:35:22
  that do much of their work out of body.
• 1:35:25
  This is sometimes called astral projection.
• 1:35:29
  I also assign angels to apprehend fallen angels and
• 1:35:32
  other malevolent spirits attempting to come against me.
• 1:35:37
  I pray that they would be escorted out to wherever the
• 1:35:39
  Lord Jesus sends them peers through with many arrows,
• 1:35:41
  discomforted by the lightning in the process, that they would
• 1:35:45
  know that Jesus is Lord. Yeah, he sent out his arrows and
• 1:35:50
  scattered them, and he shot out lightnings and discomfited them.
• 1:35:55
  Psalm 18, verse 14. Furthermore, I cancel and render
• 1:35:59
  powerless all attempts at mind to mind communication, dream
• 1:36:02
  manipulation, and all other forms of psychic and telepathic
• 1:36:05
  intrusion in the name of Jesus. Psychic phenomena, telepathy,
• 1:36:10
  and other forms of mind to mind communication.
• 1:36:13
  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to
• 1:36:18
  the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
• 1:36:22
  revelation of Jesus. Christ first Peter, chapter one,
• 1:36:26
  verse 13. I thank you that all of my
• 1:36:29
  dreams are inspired by your Holy Spirit.
• 1:36:32
  God spoke on many occasions in the Bible through dreams.
• 1:36:35
  For instance, he spoke to Jacob in a dream in Genesis 46 two,
• 1:36:40
  and he spoke to Daniel in a dream in Daniel 7, verse seven
• 1:36:45
  and seven verse 13. I declare that my sleep will be
• 1:36:49
  sweet, uninterrupted, and that upon waking I will be well
• 1:36:53
  rested. When thou liest down, you shall
• 1:36:56
  not be afraid. Yeah, thou shalt lie down, and
• 1:37:01
  thy sleep shall be sweet. Proverbs 3, verse 24.
• 1:37:06
  I also put on the Armor of Light.
• 1:37:09
  The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
• 1:37:13
  Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us
• 1:37:17
  put on the armor of light. Romans 13, verse 12.
• 1:37:23
  I take up the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of
• 1:37:26
  righteousness, the belt of truth, I declare that my feet
• 1:37:28
  are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, and I take
• 1:37:31
  up the shield of faith to punch every fiery dart of the wicked
• 1:37:34
  one, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
• 1:37:36
  God. Wherefore take unto you the
• 1:37:40
  whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil
• 1:37:46
  day, and having done all to stand.
• 1:37:50
  Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and
• 1:37:56
  having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet
• 1:38:00
  shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, Above all
• 1:38:05
  taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
• 1:38:09
  quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and take the helmet
• 1:38:15
  of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
• 1:38:19
  God. Ephesians 613 to 17.
• 1:38:24
  I pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
• 1:38:29
  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
• 1:38:35
  the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• 1:38:38
  John chapter 14 verse 13 Anointing oil.
• 1:39:01
  Use of the anointing oil is biblical.
• 1:39:04
  The oil was used to anoint kings.
• 1:39:08
  It is an offering to God commissioning someone into their
• 1:39:14
  calling. It is a symbol of imparting a
• 1:39:19
  blessing. If you see yourself being
• 1:39:21
  anointed in dreams or a vision, you know God is imparting a
• 1:39:26
  blessing. It is used for sanctification.
• 1:39:31
  It can be used for deliverance and healing.
• 1:39:35
  It is used in worship anointing oil versus the holy anointing
• 1:39:43
  oil. Exodus 30, verse 22 to 33 The
• 1:39:49
  Lord spoke to Moses. Take choice spices, 12 1/2 lbs
• 1:39:55
  of free flowing myrrh, half that about 6 1/4 lbs of sweet
• 1:40:01
  smelling cinnamon, 6 1/4 lbs of sweet smelling cane, and 12 1/2
• 1:40:09
  lbs of cassia. All weighed according to the
• 1:40:13
  sanctuary. Shekel and 4 quarts of olive
• 1:40:17
  oil. You are to make this into a
• 1:40:21
  sacred anointing oil, a perfumed compound, the work of the
• 1:40:27
  perfumer. It will be sacred anointing oil.
• 1:40:31
  With it you are to anoint the tent of Meeting, the Ark of the
• 1:40:36
  Testimony, the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its
• 1:40:42
  utensils, the altar of insects, the altar for the burnt
• 1:40:46
  offering, and all its utensils, and the Laver and its base.
• 1:40:50
  So you are to sanctify them, and they will be most holy.
• 1:40:55
  Anything that touches them will be holy.
• 1:40:57
  You are to anoint Aaron and his. Sons.
• 1:41:00
  And sanctify them so that they may minister.
• 1:41:03
  As my priest, you are to tell the Israelites this is to be my
• 1:41:09
  sacred anointing oil throughout your generation.
• 1:41:13
  It must not be applied to people's bodies.
• 1:41:16
  And you must not. Make any like it with the same
• 1:41:19
  recipe. It is holy, and it must be holy
• 1:41:23
  to you. Whoever makes perfume like it
• 1:41:26
  and whoever puts any of it on someone not a priest, will be
• 1:41:30
  cut off from his people. Because I read this.
• 1:41:34
  You're going to go out and find these ingredients, aren't you?
• 1:41:38
  But we are commanded not to make any like it for.
• 1:41:41
  Ourselves, these were used for the Tabernacle.
• 1:41:45
  Olive oil was the main oil used in anointing.
• 1:41:49
  So feel free to perfume your oil, but don't follow that
• 1:41:53
  recipe. Make your own oil, make it your
• 1:41:56
  own and this is how you will prepare and pray over the oil.
• 1:42:01
  Take a separate bottle of oil and call it unto the Holy Spirit
• 1:42:05
  and invite him into the room. Once you feel the presence, your
• 1:42:09
  body will have a tingling. Then begin praying, Holy Spirit,
• 1:42:15
  and I know that all power comes from You.
• 1:42:18
  Every anointing comes from you. I ask that you would bless this
• 1:42:23
  anointing oil for use as I pray over myself, my family, my
• 1:42:29
  friends, my home, and of it. I pray that you would use it as
• 1:42:35
  an agent of Your love and mercy towards us.
• 1:42:39
  I'm doing this according to Your word in James chapter 5 verse
• 1:42:44
  14, or you say that we should anoint with oil when we pray
• 1:42:50
  over the sick. I also do this as a symbol of
• 1:42:53
  your protection over my home and my family.
• 1:42:57
  It is a representation of your blood Jesus, that covers.
• 1:43:02
  I know that this is completely powerless until you've rested on
• 1:43:08
  it and made it holy. So I'm asking you to rest upon
• 1:43:12
  it and make it holy. I'm setting it aside as
• 1:43:17
  consecrated and holy only for your work.
• 1:43:21
  Lord, I thank you for blessing it and enriching it with Your
• 1:43:25
  spirit. Speak to me whenever you need me
• 1:43:28
  to use this oil. I pray that in the spirit realm
• 1:43:32
  it is seen as a symbol of Your presence in Jesus name.
• 1:43:38
  Amen. How to anoint your home and
• 1:43:48
  property. Here's what you do.
• 1:43:52
  Take the anointing oil and over every window and door to your
• 1:43:56
  house, just put the sign of the cross in the corner of it.
• 1:44:01
  You don't need to put it in the center from top to bottom or
• 1:44:06
  anything like that. Next thing you know, winter
• 1:44:09
  rolls around and your visitors are seeing a giant congealed oil
• 1:44:13
  mark on your windows and doors. Truly, just take it easy.
• 1:44:18
  Putting it on the corner is fine.
• 1:44:21
  Today Jews are using a mezuzah at the door and it's not that
• 1:44:25
  big. Anyway, as you're putting this
• 1:44:28
  mark, you just need to pray a simple prayer as you make the
• 1:44:32
  sign of the cross. With the sign of the cross, I'm
• 1:44:36
  making a declaration that this house belongs to the Lord Jesus
• 1:44:40
  Christ, that no sickness, death, theft, evil or malevolent
• 1:44:46
  technology can enter this home. This oil is a symbol of the
• 1:44:51
  blood of Jesus Christ. No weapons that are formed
• 1:44:54
  against us or this property shall prosper and any
• 1:44:58
  destruction must pass over us in Jesus name.
• 1:45:02
  We are safe and protected under the blood of Jesus.
• 1:45:07
  Next, anoint some wooden stakes for the purpose of marking your
• 1:45:12
  land. Go out unto your land and stake
• 1:45:15
  the land for Jesus, making the same declaration.
• 1:45:20
  Staking your land will create a border in the spirit realm and
• 1:45:24
  in this realm. The prayer doesn't have to be
• 1:45:27
  exactly like this, but you get the idea.
• 1:45:30
  You can include some of the dimensional aspects like Dan
• 1:45:34
  Duvall has, but the point is that Jesus owns the house and
• 1:45:38
  the land and the oil is a symbol of his blood giving protection
• 1:45:43
  and covering to its occupants. Now I have to warn you, this is
• 1:45:49
  not a joke. Once you pray the prayer, don't
• 1:45:52
  be surprised that some people can no longer come to your
• 1:45:55
  house. Plans will just automatically
• 1:45:58
  get cancelled. Keep your eyes open and don't
• 1:46:01
  force them to come to your house either.
• 1:46:04
  God is just revealing to you that there is something on them.
• 1:46:09
  Remember, you gave him the house.
• 1:46:12
  It is all in the spirit realm and our war is not against flesh
• 1:46:17
  and blood. They won't know why or even
• 1:46:20
  realize they can no longer come into your house.
• 1:46:23
  But you know because you prayed this prayer other uses for
• 1:46:29
  anointing oil. So let's say you want to receive
• 1:46:32
  dreams and visions from God. You can anoint the temple side
• 1:46:36
  of your head and your forehead and pray, asking Him to give you
• 1:46:41
  dreams before you go to bed. Anoint your ears to help you
• 1:46:44
  hear God. You can also do the same things
• 1:46:47
  over your eyelids. If you are praying to see in the
• 1:46:50
  spirit realm to receive the gift of healing, you can anoint the
• 1:46:53
  palms of your hand. Or if you are being commissioned
• 1:46:57
  to write a book, you can anoint your hands as well.
• 1:47:00
  Before you start writing, the idea is to anoint the area where
• 1:47:04
  you need the empowerment or impartation.
• 1:47:08
  Anoint your transportation. Anoint your children's
• 1:47:11
  transportation. The same applies if you're
• 1:47:16
  praying over someone who is sick.
• 1:47:18
  You can anoint that area if it is appropriate, of course.
• 1:47:31
  House cleaning prayer. Before you clean your house with
• 1:47:35
  prayer, you must first cleanse yourself spiritually by
• 1:47:38
  performing a prayer of repentance.
• 1:47:41
  Then you may begin cleaning the house.
• 1:47:44
  These are the steps for the prayer.
• 1:47:46
  Put on the armor of God. You need to ask God for angelic
• 1:47:49
  assistance. You need to open your windows
• 1:47:52
  and doors and tell the spirits to leave.
• 1:47:55
  You need to close all the portals that the evil spirits
• 1:47:58
  are using to enter your own. You need to anoint all the
• 1:48:01
  windows and doors with oil. Father God, I come to you in
• 1:48:07
  Jesus name, putting on your full armor so that I can take my
• 1:48:13
  stand against the devil schemes. For our struggle is not against
• 1:48:19
  flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
• 1:48:24
  against the powers of darkness in this world, and against the
• 1:48:28
  spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
• 1:48:33
  I put on the full armor of God, so that in this day of evil I
• 1:48:38
  may stand my ground, standing firm with the belt of truth
• 1:48:42
  buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness
• 1:48:46
  in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that
• 1:48:51
  comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, I take
• 1:48:56
  up the shield of faith with which I can extinguish all the
• 1:49:00
  flaming arrows of the evil one, take the helmet of salvation and
• 1:49:05
  the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and pray in
• 1:49:10
  the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and
• 1:49:14
  bequests. God, I ask you to give me the
• 1:49:19
  gift of discerning of spirits so that I may remove all the evil
• 1:49:23
  spirits from my home. The only spirit that can live
• 1:49:28
  here are the ones who are still in the land of the living and
• 1:49:32
  bow to the name of Jesus. I ask that Your Holy Spirit
• 1:49:36
  dwell here with me and my family and that You will lead and guide
• 1:49:41
  us through this process today. Please send angelic assistance
• 1:49:46
  to help with the removal of all of these evil spirits.
• 1:49:50
  Send the angels to war on my behalf and handle any demonic
• 1:49:54
  powers that we cannot handle. Start opening all the windows
• 1:49:58
  and doors in your home, or at least one in each room.
• 1:50:03
  I command every evil spirit to leave this home now in the name
• 1:50:08
  of Jesus. You cannot stay here.
• 1:50:12
  You have no part in me. I renounce you and any other
• 1:50:17
  spirits that come with you. If the Holy Spirit specifically
• 1:50:21
  impresses upon you a particular spirit or spirits, make sure to
• 1:50:26
  command them to leave by name. Example, spirit of infirmity,
• 1:50:30
  addiction, sexual immorality, poverty, suicide, anything that
• 1:50:36
  comes to mind. Call it by name and tell it to
• 1:50:40
  leave in the name of Jesus. Now you go room by room with the
• 1:50:45
  anointing oil, all the doors and windows at the top or corner
• 1:50:50
  with the sign of the cross over each door and window.
• 1:50:54
  You say this. I close this door or window in
• 1:50:58
  the spirit realm to any evil spirit.
• 1:51:01
  No longer shall you use this as an access point to gain entrance
• 1:51:05
  into this home. Only angels assigned by the
• 1:51:08
  Commander of Heaven's armies are allowed to enter this home.
• 1:51:12
  I mark the sign of the cross as a reminder to you that this
• 1:51:17
  house is covered under the blood of Jesus and you shall Passover
• 1:51:22
  it and never enter into this house again.
• 1:51:26
  In Jesus name. Go through your entire house and
• 1:51:29
  do this for everyone to endure. If you come across items as
• 1:51:34
  you're going through the house that give you a feeling that a
• 1:51:36
  spirit may be attached to it, you need to remove it from your
• 1:51:40
  home. Just as you have doors in the
• 1:51:42
  natural, there are doorways that spirits can use to go in and out
• 1:51:46
  of your house. This could be mirrors.
• 1:51:50
  So you need to take oil, put it on your index finger and make
• 1:51:53
  the cross at the top of the mirror or in a corner of the
• 1:51:57
  mirror and say if this is a doorway in the spirit realm that
• 1:52:02
  evil spirits are using to enter this house, I close it in the
• 1:52:07
  name of Jesus. You can no longer use this as a
• 1:52:10
  doorway. This is a mirror, an inanimate
• 1:52:14
  object that will never be used as a spiritual portal again.
• 1:52:20
  I command it to be closed in Jesus name.
• 1:52:24
  That's it. Once you've gone through all the
• 1:52:27
  rooms in your home, those spirits will be gone and you can
• 1:52:30
  start closing the windows and doors in your house.
• 1:52:34
  This is quite the process, but you will feel so much peace in
• 1:52:39
  your home after you do this and you should no longer have any
• 1:52:43
  spirits in your home. These are just some examples of
• 1:52:47
  prayers that you can use and pass on to your friends and
• 1:52:50
  fellow brothers and sisters. If you require more prayers, I
• 1:52:54
  highly encourage you to seek out Derek Prince's books,
• 1:52:59
  missionariesofprayer.org, Dan Duvall's books, and feel free to
• 1:53:05
  visit the Telegram channel link in the description.
• 1:53:09
  I could keep reading prayers, but this video has given you a
• 1:53:12
  fantastic starting point. Thank you for taking the time to
• 1:53:16
  listen and I pray this has helped you bring yourself closer
• 1:53:19
  to God in your prayer life. God bless you and your family in
• 1:53:25
  these very difficult times ahead.
• 1:53:34
  Ah, one more thing. I'll leave you with one last
• 1:53:39
  prayer. And I do suggest you
• 1:53:41
  participate. This is Derek Prince's
• 1:53:45
  deliverance prayer. Perform it multiple times and it
• 1:53:51
  will be in the library as well. God bless.
• 1:53:58
  All right, now I'm going to ask you to say this prayer.
• 1:54:04
  Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God and
• 1:54:13
  the only way to God, that you died on the cross for my sins
• 1:54:22
  and rose again from the dead. I now confess to you any sins of
• 1:54:30
  which you have made me conscious, all sins committed by
• 1:54:38
  my ancestors. Now just take a little while and
• 1:54:44
  be as thorough as you can. Confess anything specific that
• 1:54:47
  the Holy Spirit brings to your mind quietly.
• 1:54:50
  You don't have to tell anybody else.
• 1:54:57
  All right, now we're going on. The next thing is repentance.
• 1:55:01
  Lord, I repent of all sins I have ever committed.
• 1:55:09
  I hate them and I turn from them.
• 1:55:15
  I turn to you, Lord Jesus, for mercy and forgiveness.
• 1:55:24
  If I have been involved with the account, I repent and I renounce
• 1:55:32
  it and I sever myself from it through the blood of Jesus.
• 1:55:41
  If I have occult objects in my possession, I commit myself to
• 1:55:48
  get rid of them. Now the next one is forgiving
• 1:55:54
  other people. Lord, I forgive any person who
• 1:55:58
  has ever harmed me or wronged me.
• 1:56:05
  I forgive them just as I want you to forgive me.
• 1:56:11
  Now take a little while and name the persons that you need to
• 1:56:15
  forgive. And the name that's hardest is
• 1:56:20
  the one you most need to say. All right, we're going on.
• 1:56:30
  Lord, to the best of my ability, I've met your conditions and I
• 1:56:39
  now claim your promise. Whoever shall call on the name
• 1:56:45
  of the Lord shall be delivered. I'm calling on you now in the
• 1:56:56
  name of the Lord Jesus. Deliver me from all evil
• 1:57:00
  spirits. I hate them.
• 1:57:05
  They are not my friends, they are my enemies.
• 1:57:09
  And I command them to go for me now in the name of Jesus, now
• 1:57:16
  you let them go. I'll command them to go.
• 1:57:19
  Don't go on praying. Get rid of them now.
• 1:57:22
  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, under the authority of
• 1:57:25
  the leadership of this conference, I come against every
• 1:57:28
  evil spirit that has been renounced in the name of Jesus
• 1:57:33

• 2:00:29
  Out. Out.

  abortion to be delivered, you have to confess it as murder,

  you'll just confess it to God. You don't have to confess it to
• 2:03:37
  us. You can be delivered now.
