Prayer stands in a whole different category from positive thinking. If you don’t pray, God doesn’t have dominion over to operate through you. He cannot have a vehicle to operate through you. What prayer is, what the conversation is, is the door allowing God access to your dominion! Except when you go in to your dominion, you’re not operating in a level of positive thinking; instead, you’re operating in the level of the Creator of the universe, to where even the elements obey His voice!!
You see, here’s the thing. He has given you dominion but you can’t conquer it yourself. You can’t do it alone; it is an impossibility. You can try to positive think your life through it, but you can’t do it, the flesh can’t do it!! Everything in your life, whatever you need to change you don’t have the power within you. But greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world!!!!!!!
Not only do you have power and authority over events around you, but you have power and authority over spiritual wickedness in high places! In other words, there’s an enemy of their soul, who’s coming against you every single day, trying to make your life miserable, trying to give you the paycheck of death, trying to bring things horrible upon you, and with the power of God, with the conversation, with you communing with the LORD, He gives you authority over it all!
Prayer is getting to the gas station to get gas. It’s not about repair. Prayer needs to become a lifestyle, something intricate in your life, something intricate of your being, natural all day, covers all spectrum of your life. It is not only in times of need when you pray.
You need to learn to develop a prayer life, so you can act in the Spirit all day long, to where the Spirit can have total control over you and your life.
Satan is constantly acting as though he has dominion over your life. This flesh is totally under the influence of satanic power. You say how can this be? People watch tv, they get the attitude of the world, they get the negative attitude, they start repeating exactly what the devil says. The devil has total authority over their lives. They pick up the newspaper, there are negative stories all over the front, instead of repeating what they got from Sunday night service, they repeat what they’ve read what satan has put in the newspaper and let’s talk about the killing at 7-11 last night instead of the person who got the Holy Ghost in the prayer room!
To have you to pray is your choice. Do you want God to control your situation; do you want to have miracles in your life, victory? It is your choice!
Apostle Peter sitting at the last supper making promises to the LORD. Peter made a statement that he is going to protect the LORD. But this is 100% flesh, (I am taking authority) Now Peter goes up to the
What the LORD is saying to Peter, is there is magic in one hour of prayer. If you could just get with the LORD one hour! There are miracles in just one hour of prayer!!
But Peter couldn’t do it, because his flesh was in dominion. His flesh could not yield to the authority of that day’s events to the radiating Spirit of God. He could not bring himself to that point. This is the place every single one of you face every day.
It is your choice. Do you want your flesh to take control, or do you want the Spirit of the LORD to operate in your life? It is your choice!! It is up to you! The Spirit can only flow through you! That’s all He is going to use to operate, He does not dwell in temples of stone. He flows through human beings, not through objects!
It doesn’t matter how you look like, how you dress like, only prayer gives you authority. Conversation, saints!
Trial 1: The guards came up, and bind Jesus. Peter drew a sword and cut off the high priest’s ear. And the LORD had to rebuke him, cuz he’s already out of the will of God, even though he thought he was doing exactly what God wanted him to do! This is where your flesh is going to mess you up! Romans 8: “The flesh is enmity against God” Peter’s mind thought he was doing right!
The day you don’t pray, and then the first trial comes, and the next one comes along, and you’ll be even more in the flesh. When Peter’s next trial comes, what is his reaction?
Trial 2: The lady comes up to Peter and identifies him as a disciple of Jesus. His flesh is already denying Jesus.
Trial 3: A man identifies him as one with Jesus. Now, the root of rebellion enters Peter’s heart, cuz he doesn’t say, “Oh no, I don’t know Him, that’s a mistake”. Instead he says, “MAN! I know Him not!” there is sternness in it. It is like, how dare you say that!
Trial 4: Peter’s cussing and swearing. And for a Jew to use cuss words and swear, He was using the LORD’s name in vain, that was what he was doing. (it’s not like the ones used in
By 4 trials, he already is rebelling against the God of His fathers. You see why you can’t trust the flesh?
So don’t you see that you need God to be in control for your entire life?
John 14:13, 14; 15:7, 16; 16:23, 24, 26 -> 7 times! He says ASK ME! Have a conversation with Me about it! Jesus says, asks Me! The trouble is, we don’t ask! We look for signs! It’s a wicked and perverse generation that seeketh for a sign. And too many of us are not living off the voice of the Living Jesus Christ; we’re living off the circumstantial evidence of our lives!
How are you going to hear the voice of God unless you learn how to pray? That’s why the conversation is the most important thing you could ever do!
There are areas of prayer that will open up areas of your life that you won’t ever believe that could be opened up. As you begin to develop a prayer life, you’ll find that God will begin to open up things that were impossible. Let me remind you, every great revival that happened on this world, is because somebody learned how to pray. John Wesley opened up a line of truth.
Jesus said, ask! Just ask Me!
In 1966, country of
If God gives somebody the Holy Ghost, am I going to say it’s unclean? You better check out your spirit if you’re putting them down and talking about them.
