Prayer of Petition.

1 John 5:14; Luke 22:42

We are walking in today: Prayer of Petition.

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. Is there an impossible problem in your life? Then you probably need to pray a prayer of petition. Most people know that prayer is the foundation of our Christian life. What some people might not know, however, is that there are different types of prayer for the different situations, and the Prayer of Petition is one of the most effective forms of prayer; when it comes to bringing about quick changes in your life, especially if you need a right now answer. The Prayer of Petition is the prayer that changes things. Perhaps you are facing problems in your finances, maybe you need to restore a broken relationship; whatever your need is, God has the answer to it, and the Prayer of Petition is the best way to get to God and receive what He has in store for you. Well, it can be as simple as stating your situation to God, and agreeing with what the word of God says about it. A Petition of Prayer, simply put, is a formal request to God regarding a situation you need help with. However, the mistake most people make is that they simply keep stating how bad their plight is, and attempt to plead God into taking action.

When you pray a Prayer of Petition, you pray in confidence that God hears you, and that He will answer you as long as you pray according to his will. When you pray a Prayer of Petition, never doubt the will of God. It is His will to heal you, prosper you and give you the desires of your heart. Therefore, when you pray, you should pray with complete confidence that your prayer is answered. If you would just focus on this one truth, you will find that more and more of your petitions are answered, and in shorter and shorter time spans. What makes it so powerful is to pray in the name of Jesus, the word of God and the Holy Spirit. First sealing your prayer in the name of Jesus gives you so much power. There is no name above His name. This means no matter what your problem is, be it debt, sickness, depression or any other condition it is still under the name of Jesus. You can calm any storm with the name of Jesus. One thing you can count on is the word of God. There are many scriptures to help with every problem. God’s word does not return back to you void. All you have to do is agree to His word; you are in effect providing faith necessary to make it come to pass in your own life. The Holy Spirit is always present to help you and give you both the utterance and power for your prayer, and make it real in your life. We ask God for what we believe we need, but we submit what we ask to His all wise, all good plan and we say like Jesus, “Not my will, but your will be done” (Luke 22:42). One example of this would be Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He asks for the cup of wrath to be removed from Him (that is His petition), but He submits His petition to the will of the Father, for He trusts what God would give Him more than what He would ask. When we pray in petition “according to God’s will”, we know that God will answer it.

For instance, if we pray for “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”, that is a prayer that is God’s heart. At the same time, how that kingdom comes and how that will is done will be done according to God’s time and in God’s way. This is a Prayer of Alignment with God’s heart, the one thing God wants from us since the beginning, was for us to be in relationship with Him. That’s why we should petition Him. Ask because He wants to meet our needs. Seek, knock, ask and He will show up. There is nothing like praying the will of God. He shows up when move yourself and your stuff out of the way. God loves to hear our cry for His will to be done in our life. It takes us to a greater relationship with Him. It’s amazing that He gives us free will. Lay down your will for His will as you petition Him. Speak His word back to Him; You are my provider, no matter what my bank account says.

You are my healer, no matter what the doctor says. You are the great Physician. I dare you to petition Him on His word. Get ready for deliverance, breakthrough, renewed minds and most of all wisdom on the journey. To hear this again click here.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  We will send up our petitions to the Almighty God!  Amen!
