THOUGHTS:
=======================
In order to understand one of our weapons in our arsenal, we must learn how to use it. alot of us say we can pray, but we dont understand how powerful this tool can be and that we can do it any time in our head, out loud, in tongues, quietly, but however you do it, you need to make sure that you do this a lot of us dont understand how not praying can play a big part into what we are dealing with and a lot of us dont wont to do it because we feel that it is in the way , and it will take up to much time It is not; actually, praying can activate many spiritual benefits in our lives that we will never unlock until we pray...
"Colossians 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving."
The first thing prayer helps do for us is keep us steadfast and watchful, and it helps us to be thankful for a lot . I know what you are thinking: how does prayer help keep us watchful? When we pray, God shows us what is happening around us and what will happen in the future; if we pray and our heart is in the right place, he will show us the enemy, which will make us watchful of his schemes and traps when we dont pray we fall easily into it, it happens so fast we will wonder what is happening, but as long as we pray we are keeping our mind focus on God, he will show us everything we need to know.
1 Thessanlionsa 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Another thing prayer does for us is it helps us to stay thankful in all circumstances. Life can bring so much to us at one time, and sometimes it seems bad things are a revolving door, and it's constant, and it makes us feel sad and depressed, and those of you who have anxiety issues, it makes them flare up even more, but when we pray, and we give it all to God, the word says today to give thanks in all circumstances; when we do this, we become grateful, and it also tells us the will of God, a lot of times we think we have done something wrong or that maybe he doesn't love us, BUT SOME things are brought to us to help us to pray to draw near to him, maybe we have lacked so much in our spiritual life that we are weak spiritually, and God knows what will bring us to him to release thanksgiving and praise , it tells us in the word that the only way to enter into his courts with praise, we must continually praise him through whatever because we never know what God has planned for us,
When we pray, we also need to ask God's forgiveness so that he can help us turn from our ways; we can't fix lustful thoughts, prideful thoughts, gluttony, malice, and bitterness, but when we pray, it breaks the chains that the enemy has place on us to bound us! Prayer can set us free from depression and any other unseen spirit that is trying to attach itself to us; when we pray, we are telling the enemy that even though you tried to keep me, God is going to free me, even though you tried to break me God is going to mold me, even though you tried to discourage me, God is for me !!
"2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
We can't allow the enemy to block our prayer life; we can't allow the spirit of the python to squeeze our spiritual life; we have to rebuke the spirit of prayerless and ask God to walk with us; we have to shake off that spirit of laziness and say I am going to rise and pray, I am going to rise and shout for the joy you can't have my praise nor my prayer life because the moment we allow sleepiness and prayless to take over we are giving all victory to satan, God gave us a powerful, way to talk to him all the time BUT it's up to us to do it.
***Today, we can pretend like we like what we are seeing in this world and our lives, or we can do what we know how to do, which is to give God glory! Pray to him and tell him how we want him in our lives, tell him how much we need him to survive, pray to him and tell him how thankful you are! tell him how you stand for him and to show you how to pray to him and live out his will today, and he will show you! If you read your Bible you would see that Jesus prayed for any sickness and disease he didn't hesitate. He knew what will unlock sickness and what would break yolks but it's up to us to use the same methods he use, which was prayer ,let prayer break the chains of the enemy today, let prayer open up realms in the spirit for you today, pray and become MIGHTY IN GOD.©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
