Praying the right way- (Part 1)

"The Lord said to moses wherefore criest thou unto me?speak unto the children of Israel that they go foward!"- Exodus 14:15

As I grew up in faith, i was priveledged to see people who believed so much in prayer. I began to engage in prayer. I found out at times it worked i praised God and sometimes it didnt and i thought "maybe it was not God's will for my life". When I grew up, like Apostle Paul I put away childish things from me. God answers every single prayer which is in line with his word. Many people pray the wrong way then they believe it is not God's will to grant them what they desire. God was amazed at Moses crying at him? how many times do we cry to God? God is a faith activated God, when we complain it shows doubt in his word. The camp of Israel complained when they felt caved in, they cried and started thinking of turning back! How many times have you prayed and when it don't happen you said its not God's will? like the Israelites you turned back from your request.

How do we pray the right way you ask? You can be super spiritual but if you ignorant of Gods word you will pray wrong and get wrong results. God cannot be bribed with sweet words, Fill your heart with his word and pray his word. When God was neglectinIsrael moses questioned his word he did not cry. Stop crying saint keep pressing your knees do not give up until you see it materialize. I was taught not to repet what I prayed for but Jesus teaches the opposite and James 5:17-19, says: "An effective ferverent,heartfelt,continued prayer of a righteous man availeth much, making tremendous power available" Your prayer is dynamc,God didnt say they should run or cry but he commanded them to go foward. keep marching, someone said: "Cant you see theres water ahead, cant you see theres no way through"  I might not see the way through but his word was go! and because my prayer is based on his word and it is heartfelt and continued, i will not stop until i see where his word is taking me! When they landed in the red sea it split into two, prayer will splt any hard problem you facing. All you need to do is keep talking those toungus, keep believing that word and walk towards your problem. Pray and wait? Where in the world did you get that we pray and charge towards the situation! If you have pains, sickness, problems I want you to pray right now and behave like they are gone for three days, keep thanking God. look if you feeling the pain now as you reding? i want you to step on that leg, i want you to move those hips any pain walk that word!

Defeating Giants

I picture the young boy David already looking at his stature we all judge he cannot make it. His qualifications don't qualify, he misses the screening test. Once we read the story we find out that Goliath usually came before the battle and spoke frightening words to camp of Israel. Goliath was not the giant it was his message that was a giant. When they kept hearing what he had to say they forgot about their God. The testimony of Goliath prevailed in Israel, the priests,prophets and elders were all defeated. But there was a young man, because of his age their victory was delayed, because he was young no one dared to listen to him.

David came and he refused to even hear what Goliath had to say, for the first time in the plot of the story we see someone talking with Goliath without fear. He was saying my message is greater than yours! How could i lose against you? have you not heard how God split the seas opened and made us walk on dry ground? Have you not heard he fed us with bread from heaven(Christ to come)? Goliath the fear installer began to panick, his lips began to shiver as he said: "wha wha what have you sent me? a boy"  No longer was he pompous and proud he felt disrespected? God will disrespect the devil in your life! He wanted to show Goliath that he can use the smallest Israelite to defeat him! It is not about what you can do it is about positioning yourself right through speaking an effective word which will alter the circumstance you find yourself in.

I can picture david on his way to Goliath saying: "The Lord is my light and salvation of whom shall I fear" Remove fear from your lips, talk faith at all cost, even though the odds may look contrary to you there is help! David looks at goliath on the hill and says: "I will lift up my eyes to the hills were cometh my help" The man is saying were my problem stands I see my helper, my God is dealing with Goliath, David didnt slay Goliath with a sling, he slayed him with his words!- Read it again.
