What we do is to point you in the direction of Jesus, to deliver the word of God that will equip you for righteous decisions for your everyday victorious living. It is our prayer that you grow beyond the milk of the word and desire the strong meat of the word. For he who uses milk is unskillful in the word, and is a babe in Christ. However, by applying the keys of prayer we teach will be to your benefit when you stand and pray. You will grow and wax bold, your prayer life will change and you will be exercised in discerning the move of the Spirit of God as you receive answers to the prayers you offer according to the word of God.
Jesus said, "Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?" Mark 11:17 KJV,
So, our foundation is that of prayer; that you would give yourself to grow in the ministry of the word and the spirit to a victorious prayer life in Christ. It's important to apply the following keys when you pray, individually or colletively:
• Prayer and Fasting
• Confession
• Meditation
• Praying in Tongues (Praying in the Spirit)
• Private Worship
• Prayer and Fasting
You see, Prayer and Fasting, when employed would bring you to where the voice of the flesh, the appetites, the emotions, the hindrances of the flesh will fall below the voice of your born again human spirit, so that you hear clearly the voice of God in you. Prayer and Fasting will put to death the motions of sin in the flesh.
"And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans 8:10 KJV
The body has a position of truthfully being dead, powerless as compared to the spirit, yet this positional truth needs to be enforced, because dead men (flesh) can't react to any action. Prayer and Fasting enforces the position of the spirit rising above the dead nature of the flesh to free you into fellowship with Almighty God.
"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin." Romans 6:6-7 KJV
Prayer and Fasting also deals with the stealth level of sin or unbelief that ceilings your spirit, that causes you to doubt that God is able to do it for you. The potential of God's power and grace working in the born again spirit, so Prayer and Fasting goes after the hidden or stealth body of sin in the flesh, that it might be destroyed so that you rise above that hidden sin or doubt, only to be set free from its grip.
• Confession
What confession does in you is to renew or renovate the mind of the new man in Christ, by declaring who the word says you are, what the word says you can do and what the word say you have… On the flip side of that, also is to declare what the word says about WHO God is, what the word says about WHAT God can do, and what the word says about WHAT has in His all powerful self - the sum total of all that can ever be is found is in Him.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Corinthians 5:17
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 KJV
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23 KJV
Confession is a prayer that brings your soul into alignment with the word - be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind - this transformation is by the renovation, or tearing down the old thought processes, the old beliefs systems, and the old imaginations that limited the move of God to reigned in you… are being pulled down, thrown down, and discarded to put up and build up a brand new way of thinking, of believing, speaking, and seeing yourself in Christ. The renovation truly takes the mind in the way of God's spirit, to think differently from the old man, the see things differently, to hear differently, to speak differently, to believe what the word says about you, about who you are, and what it says you can do, allowing you to be a doer of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves…
• Meditation
Meditation in prayer is not simply to think about what the word says, how to or what to say. Meditation is more than just that, it adds more light to receiving from the word the fullness or sum total of what imagery it brings.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Timothy 2:15 KJV
Yiu see, if you to take a chapter of the Book of John or the entire Book in the word of God and to read it over and over many times again, some fifty or a hundred times, not memorizing the passage, but just reading or assimilating it… until an image of the word begins form on the inside of you. You begin to see something... not clearly, but something begins to happen. The purpose of continuously reading the portion repeatedly is to allow the Holy Spirit enough time to paint an image in your soul. The Holy Spirit starts by using a broad brush, and continues with finer and thinner brushes shaping in you the details of the image the word brings to life in you. This also helps with your delivery of what you've meditated as ordered by the Holy Spirit. So by you reading the Book of I John 50 times or even 100 times leaves within you an image of the love of God this Book delivers on the inside of you. In other words, you become very Book of I John as painted in you by the Spirit of God and you need not that any man teach you, because you are the essence of the word formed in you by the order set in you by the Holy Spirit of God.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5 KJV
As a result of this, it leaves you with an indelible image in its power of what the word of God is in you. As you go, verses from your meditation, seem to lift up in you by the Holy Spirit for your life and circumstances on a daily basis for victorious living.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night... Joshua 1:8 KJV
As you meditate the word, your soul receives the material and files it away in the filing cabinet of your soul (= mind, will, intellect and emotions), called your intellect. Filing in the intellect places the last word in the first file right upfront making it available as the last thing in, but the first file upfront.
Your soul files it in the first position, because it was the last thing in there for night meditation is when you wake up the last thing you place in the file is now the first thing you remember. Therefore, night meditation day meditation come together in one file, accessing the same upfront file day and night, for your good, where the Holy Spirit can lift up verses in you to lead you in daily fellowship.
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out… Proverbs 20:5 KJV.
It is by meditation that we draw out the mind of Christ (your filing system) for our lives for everyday living.
• Praying in Tongues (Praying in the Spirit)
This is prayer indeed, whereby God reveals to us his doctrine, prophecy, intercession, revelation, His love, correction to his church, and so much more. It is an operation of the spirit of man under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus told his disciples to go and pray in Jerusalem until they are endued with power from on high. In other words, He could not make full use of His disciples in the spiritual state they were walking in. He thought they needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God, endued with the highest power ever known or revealed to date. This is still true today that God requires His church to be spirit-filled and full of Holy Ghost power. This transformation from being powerless to walking in the gifts of the spirit comes by being spirit-filled and continuous praying in the Holy Ghost.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost… Jude 1:20 KJV
God in his wisdom, give us a heavenly language to pray whereby we may speak to God against the infirmities, trials, and temptations that cause us to oppose ourselves... He answers every one of the prayers, because it originates in Him, it of Him, from Him, through Him in us, and it goes back to Him for approval. He answers all of the spirit-filled prayers in such a way that we are set free from the superfluity of naughtiness we holds dear and partake in, to deliver us free indeed.
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. I Corinthians 14:2 KJV
As long as spirit-filled prayers are being offered, He will continue to deliver us from evil - from seduction of vice, from the wickedness of the old nature, from deception, from the motions of sin by the flesh, from appetites… bringing it all to light in us, to destroy strongholds, wickedness, and darkness that rises up against God in reasoning, doubts, and unbelief. You see, the problem is not that God cannot answer the prayers we pray, but the challenge comes when the prayer is passing through us, we tend to pray selfish prayers, we to mix it up with what we think is best when we pray with our intellect, not by His will, but by your will… an He's unable to add Himself to it. So God created a more excellent way to get your prayers answered accorduing to His will, is to pray in tongues, by-passing your intellect whereby you cannot control the terms of the prayer, but as the Spirit gives utterance, you pray without ceasing. This prayer originates with one menber of the Godhead and it is answered by another member of the Godhead - Awesome wisdome - Praying in Tongues!
• Private Worship
Private worship is one of the most powerful keys of (intercessory) prayer. It is you going after God with all that is on the inside of you (body, soul, and spirit), but in worship. In John's Gospel, Jesus explained to the Samaritan woman at the Jacob's well about true worship:
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 34: 21-24 KJV
Jesus try to explain that you don't have to worship in a special place, like a church building or on a mountain to be able to worship God, but where ever you find yourself you may lift up your hands, open your mouth, believe in your heart, speak unto God out of the sanctuary of your own priesthood, with words of truth… songs, hymns, and melodies pouring out of your heart unto God, releasing your spirit to go after God in the privacy of your home, your prayer closet, your car, or wherever your find yourself. Drawing near to God to thank Him, to praise him, to bless Him, to worship Him, to love Him for who He is, just because you want to be in His presence and minister to Him. In the Scriptures, we see Jesus would always go to a quiet or desert place and offer private worship unto the Father and some times, the Bible says He would pray all night.
And by His example, I encourage to enter into Private Worship whereby you may go as far into God as possible to receive that which the prayer requires for your deliverance, that of your family, loved ones, the lost, and to bring bring it to this dark and dying world.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matthew 10:7-8 KJV
We are about this business and we pray that you find here to be a place of prayer that you may be equipped and ready to show forth the workings of God's love, mercy, goodness, and all that He is in you and through you. We love you, and we bless you. Welcome home.
