Psalm 66:18; 2 Chronicles 7:14; John 16:23-24; Luke 21:36; 1 Samuel 1:14; Psalm 16:11; Romans 3:4; James 5:16; Matthew 6:33; Isaiah 40:31; Isaiah 61:3
We are walking in today: Travailing Prayer.
Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Repentance is a requirement and not a suggestion. There are a lot of things you can do with sin and iniquity in your heart. You can clap your hands, dance, sing, shout and even preach. But you cannot stand before God with sin in your heart. Prayer is a word that almost everyone knows. The religious folks pray. The Bible says that God hears our prayers. There are people who do lip service. Some pray because they have to, as a part of their tradition. For them, prayer is just a ritual. But, God is looking for people who pray from their heart. In other words, these people mean what they say. What is a travailing prayer? It is a pouring out of heart that brings about a great breakthrough. You cannot pour out your heart unless it is totally broken. Search your heart: Before you even open your mouth to pray, search your heart. The Psalmist says, in Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Repentance is a requirement and not a suggestion. There are a lot of things you can do with sin and iniquity in your heart. You can clap your hands, dance, sing, shout and even preach. But you cannot stand before God with sin in your heart. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. This verse does not talk about the heathen who have gone astray. It clearly talks about God's people. That is why it is so important that we take an inventory of our lives before we start praying. We must make sure our hearts are right with God. Specify your request: We need to decide what we want. Figure out exactly what you will be asking for. Then we need to know God's will. If you do not know God's will in the situation, then hold on. Search the scriptures and find out what God's will is. Then pray for it to come to pass. You must ask! You do not just think your prayer into being, you must vocalize! John 16:23-24 23) And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Realize that the minute you ask anything of God, the devil will immediately tell you it cannot come to pass. Be ready to resist him! He will flee from you. The devil is a defeated foe. Praise God for answering your prayer! Start thanking and praising God for the answer right a way! Even if the circumstances look just the opposite of what you have asked for, start praising anyhow! Soon you will see the circumstances lining up with God's word. Pour out your heart: we need to learn how to pour out our souls before the Lord! I mean, we need to learn how to move heaven! We are living in the final days of human history. We are living in the last days. We need to know how to pray! Jesus said in Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. God gave us two hands for a specific purpose. When we do a warfare prayer, you do not fold your hands and bow down your head. Take the shield of faith in one hand and the sword of the spirit in the other and look at the enemy square in the eyes and cast him out. Ephesians 6:16-17 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Get the enemy out of the way so that you can march into your promise. You have authority in Jesus name! Take your authority! Move those Mountains!!!
The prayer of Hanna, who travailed in prayer in 1 Samuel 1, shows how this barren woman prayed and prayed, pouring out her heart to God so much so that she received her petition. A child which she promptly gave back to the Lord and three sons and two daughters besides. Then there is David's prayer regarding Absalom, his son, who came against him. All throughout the book of Jeremiah, he is weeping for God's people, warning them in their stubbornness to turn back to God. Jesus prayed so hard that He sweat blood. We must go before the Lord in a pouring out of ourselves sitting at His feet! God shows up in the broken pieces when we are bare to Him. No longer hiding in our confusion or pride. Call on His name like never before. We are to walk by faith and not by sight. That is why we can count it all joy--Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. He is our Alpha and Omega, our Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Tsidkenu, we can call on Him late in the midnight hour. The Lord is teaching us how to pray this week. We must be able to get a prayer through in this season of being pressed on every side. He has given us the spiritual weapons of mass destruction, and now lessons on how to pray. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. We must keep pressing in, like the woman with the issue of blood. God has shown us His face and His glory on this prayer line. He told us that this is our year of abundance. We have gotta be in relationship with Him. That is what this is all about, restored relationship with the Father, our Creator, our Lord. We can hold on to His unchanging hand. He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. You must be in prayer! Prayer changes things! He will show up. Cry out to Him! We can't make it without Him. He is matching angels with demons. The devil is already defeated, he is a defeated foe. The words of God heal, protect, and are true. Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Prayer sent up in travail is a prayer that is working on our behalf. First God had us to call for the wailing women, then today to travail in prayer. We have to understand that it is our prayers to God that will bring us out! We must pray without ceasing, to pray and fast to hear from God. Look at Hanna, David and Jeremiah and Jesus. God showed up, moving heaven and earth to answer their requests. Look at how He delivered the children of Israel when He opened up the Red Sea. Cry out to the Lord, Zion! You have been praying to God for the right way. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. He answers prayer. He gives us above what we could ask or think. Pour your heart out to Him! Tell Him that you have been going through, I know that no body but You can bring me out! He is the way out of no way. The Way, the Truth and the Light! We need Thee, O how we need Thee! Every hour, we need Thee! We must travail in prayer. We must check our hearts, fiveamprayer. Ask God to fix this, more of Him and less of you. Thank You God for every prayer request. We can shout the victory right now!! It is already done. Something is starting to stir on the inside of us! Walk in travailing prayer all day today. Give honor and praise to Him! Turn to God, pray and not faint. Keep praying! James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. We must be in constant prayer, fiveamprayer!! Every minute, every hour of every day. Prayer is so important it is part of our relationship with the Lord. We need You, Lord!! Travailing prayer, a prayer that says that you are not just gonna give up. Standing firm and flat footed on His word. And see if He does not move heaven and earth. Call Him on His word. Thank You God for travailing prayer!! Jabez knew who to call on, the God of Israel. We lift up our hearts to You and pour out our spirit, Lord. As they used to say, Jesus is on the main line, call Him up and tell Him what you want. You have not because you ask not. If you think only and never speak it, you will receive nothing. We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown. Bless them God with whatever they need. Time out for listening to prayer and not praying to God for yourself! Forgive us Lord, for not seeking You in prayer, not speaking our requests out loud. Thank You Lord, for when You forgive it is as far as the east is from the west, with no condemnation. Teach us Lord how to forgive others so that our prayers are not hindered. That is why the heart check is so important before prayer!!! Thank You God for teaching us!! We started the week off with the power of prayer, first wailing and now travailing. He has given us power to pour out our hearts to Him. To receive more of Him and less of us, on the inside. We seal this prayer in the prayer of Jabez, that is why God had us sealing our prayer in this scripture for months now. Because it is so important to pray!!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow...What are you requesting , fiveamprayer? What are you praying for? Are you calling on His name? It is He that will answer every request. Call on Him to strengthen you. For Him to give you knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Teach us, Lord Your way as we cast off our ways. He has ordered our steps, but will we walk in them?! God is pouring out on us like never before. Go to God and tell Him everything. Don't go running to mama or your friends. It's me, it's me, it's me--O Lord standing in the need of prayer! Pour out your heart, only God can fix it. We Love You Lord. It is You that hears our every cry. Travailing in prayer--pour out yourself to God. God is looking for the believers that are not just praying like they used to. Don't be a hearer of the word, be a doer of the word. God is looking for someone to pray. Humbling themselves and seeking His righteousness, then He will hear from heaven. Who is praying!? He is looking for the one who will pray. He called for the wailing women on yesterday and they should still be on their face in a puddle of tears. Where are the wailing women at?! Prayer changes things. Hallelujah God! He is so worthy! He left us with the Comforter that guides and directs us. Thank You God for this divine destiny connection, this group of believers that get up early seeking His face. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. We must seek, ask and knock to receive from God. Cry out to the Lord! He is the only one that can fix it. Just wait on the Lord! Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. We must make our petitions with your prayers and supplication. I can hear the prayer of Jabez, if Thou would bless me indeed! To enlarge my coast and that Thy hand would be with me to keep me from evil that I am not grieved. We have to walk in this scripture, not just say it. Cry out to God, to keep us from evil, that we are not grieved. Jabez didn't go around calling and speaking to everyone, he went to He who has the power to deliver on this request--the God of Israel. He is a healer, the way out of no way. Call on the name of Jesus! Travail in prayer, fiveamprayer! Pour your heart out to God. Thank You God!! Hallelujah! You know that prayer works! The devil doesn't want you to speak God's word, to cry out to Him, nor does he want us to continue in our prayers. Stop listening to the devil!! He is a liar and a defeated foe. Pour it all out to God even though He knows. He sets us free in our pouring out. And then He turns around and fills us with His Spirit. Our God heals the broken pieces. Pour out unforgiveness, doubt, pride, wavering faith, and fear--it has to be poured out!! Empty yourself, many of us are full of the wrong thing, ourselves. Get out the the way and let God fill you!! Travailing prayer--pour yourself out, let go and let God. Those things from years and years ago, really honestly and truly let them go!! Holding on to the pain, the hurt the 'being right' is coming between your relationship with God. Is is really worth losing that closeness with God?! He has much better for you! How about His rest, His peace, and His joy, that does not compare to what you are holding on to, even in some cases guarding! Let it go, let God take over!! Trading with God, you always get the better end of the deal! Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Hallelujah God!! Don't even talk about it any more! Thank You God! Who the Son sets free, is free indeed! Thank You Lord for teaching us how to pray, and the kinds of prayer. Keep us on our face, Lord that we are only lifted up by Your hands. Thank You God. Fiveamprayer is pouring out our souls to God. Thank You Lord, it is already done and finished. The Lord was waiting for us to pour it out to Him. This is our way to fight the defeated foe, the devil, standing on, and speaking God's word!! Travail in prayer today, fiveamprayer. Have a blessed day!
