PRAYING THE WORD

“And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.”
1 John 5:14 (AMP)
Main Text:

The Word is His expressed will to us; therefore, praying according to His will is praying the Word. This is a very important element in prayer that a large number of the populace don’t understand and practice. When we pray, it’s important that it’s based on revelation and insight given to us by the Word of God.

Most people, while praying just talk and don’t care whether or not what they are saying is in line with the Word of God. Your prayers must be consistent with the word to be effective. James 5:16 “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” Don’t just pray, pray the Word!

God gave us His Word to show us everything He has given to us, everything He has made us and everything we can do in Christ Jesus. Therefore, when we pray, unless our words sync with His divine provisions in Christ you’ll be praying amiss.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus, I am lifted by your Word, I am transfigured and guided by your truth in the path of your divine and perfect will for my life. Amen.
