Prepare for Prayer
Prepare for Prayer
our battles are won in the throne room of God
our battles are won when we align with Jesus Christ
our battles are won when we are others focised
Prayer for You
Prayer for You
this is not a high priority
maturity is others before self
we transition from our needs to those of others
we still need that touch of God - Lord’s prayer for example, time of sickness or doubt, life change
Prayer to God
Prayer to God
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
prayer is essentially getting the mind of Christ
praye ris becoming one with Christ across the board
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
speaking to Peter , Jesus addressed the evil motivation of Satan coming through Peter himself
Peter was naive to the diversion and disruption Satan was trying to impose
Satan wants us to believe good as being evil, and evil being good
Satan will bring the human concerns, the things of the world and present them as godly
Jesus is calling us to have the things of God uppermost
Jesus wants us to have his mind of Christ
read the word, prayer in the Spirit, act in love and grace and mercy
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Prayer into Heavenlies
by the name of Jesus
by his blood
by his word
three key ingredients to pray according to God’s will
the word is truth by which the forces of darkness must obey
the blood is the power by which all unrighteousness has been removed
the name of Jesus is the ultimate authority for all things have been placed under that name
this is no tokenstic endeavour
this is locking into the very purposes and intent of Jesus
we want breakthrough, we want change
get the mind of Christ
Prayer for the Person
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
abound more in love
someone gets free from their sin , their circumstances through a spiritual process
discernment comes, knowledge of God grows, righteousness flourishes
yet we have this spiritual blockage
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Paul speaking about those under the old covenant and the times of Moses
relevant to us today for mankind is still ensnared in the their sin
there is a veil, a helmet that stops the knowledge of Jesus Christ
this veil is removed only in Jesus Christ
what a glorious position to be in Jesus
our prayer should be this for our loved ones, the people we come across
