The Torah testifies...............

The writings bear witness...........................




2 Kings 19:26




Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, H3027 they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.









Let’s go deeper! Prayer is not about asking Yah for things! It’s about positioning yourself in His presence! It’s about creating a space where heaven can invade earth! Where the supernatural becomes natural in your life! Prayer is the bridge between your limitations and Yah’s unlimited power! It’s the place where your weakness meets His strength! Your confusion meets His clarity and your fear meets His peace! Did you catch that! Prayer is not a religious duty! It’s a divine connection! Let me ask you this when was the last time you prayed until something shifted! Not just a quick Yah bless my day kind of prayer, but a deep gut wrenching prayer where you poured out your heart and didn’t stop until you felt the breakthrough! That’s the kind of prayer that changes things! James 5:16 says the prayers of a righteous person is powerful and effective! That’s what your prayers can be! When you pray with faith and persistence, but here’s the thing prayer requires discipline! It’s not always convenient! It’s not always easy! There will be mornings when you’re tired! Mornings when you rather sleep in! And moments where your mind is racing with the thousand distractions, but those are the moments where prayer matters most! Those are the moments that you dig deep and say Yah I need you more than I need comfort! More than I need sleep! More than I need answers. That’s when you build spiritual muscle! That’s when you grow! Let me give you a practical example! Imagine your facing a situation that seems impossible! Maybe it’s a financial crisis, a health scare or a relationship on the brink of collapse! You’ve tried everything you know to do, but nothing is working! That’s your cue to pray! Not just a casual prayer but a focused intentional faith filled prayer! Declare Yah’s promises over your situation! Remind Him of His Word! Stand firm in your faith! Even when everything around you is shaking! Because here is the truth prayer just doesn’t change circumstances! It changes you! It aligns your heart with Yah’s heart! It strengthens your faith! It fills you with peace that surpasses all understanding! Let’s talk about Fiveamprayer praying on one accord! Some of you may have heard of corporate prayer! Praying together with others! There’s a unique power in agreement Matthew 18:19 and 20 says again truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for it will be done for them by my ABBA in heaven! For where two or three gather in my name there am I with them! When you pray with others! There’s a multiplication of faith! A synergy of RUACH that can move mountains! That’s why it’s so important for Fiveamprayer to pray and not just talk about praying! We need people that will stand with us in faith! Who will push through the distractions and focus on what really matters! Now let me address something critical! Distractions we live in a world full of noise social media, news, entertainment, endless to do list! It’s easy to let these things steal your time and attention, but here is the truth! Your attention is one of your most valuable assets! Where you focus your attention determines the direction of your life! If you’re constantly distracted by trivial things! You’re miss the divine moments Yah has for you! So guard your attention! Protect your prayer time! Don’t let anything or anyone pull you away from what truly matters! And let me say this to leaders your prayers life sets the tone for everyone around you! If you’re not praying don’t expect your people to pray! If you’re not seeking Yah! Don’t expect the people Yah has trusted you with to seek Yah! You are the example! You are the standard! So lead by example! Show them what it means to prioritize prayer! Show them what it looks like to seek Yah with all your heart, because when you pray things happen! When you pray lives are changed! When you pray destinies are unlocked! Please do not forget this…. Prayer is not just about getting answers! ITS ABOUT KNOWING YAH! It’s about developing a relationship with Him! It’s about spending time in His presence! It’s about listening to His voice and allowing Him to shape your heart the more you pray! The more you pray the more you know Him! The more you know Him the more you will trust Him and the more you trust Him the more you will see His hand at work in your life! So let’s commit to prayer! Let’s build our spiritual capacity! Let’s strengthen our inner man! Let’s make prayer a priority! Not just in words but in action! Because the world doesn’t need more noise! It needs more prayer! It needs men and women that are rooted in Yah! Who are strong in RUACH and who are ready to fulfill their Yah given destiny! Are you ready to be one of them!
