DON'T PARY YOUR PROBLEM !

DON'T PRAY YOUR PROBLEM ! : I remember being a service one night in a certain building, and a lady stood up and said, "I want you all to pray for my husband; he is getting worse. He won't go to church, and I have been praying for him every day for 25 years. He just keeps getting meaner." The Spirit of God spoke up on the inside of me and say, "She has been holding fast to the problem all these years. If she had prayed in faith, she wouldn't have prayed all those other 24 years. She would have praised Me and thanked Me that My power will was working in his behalf, and her husband would have been saved many years ago. But she has bound Me from the situation by the words of her mouth." "If God be for us us, who can be against us ? (Romans 8:31). We can be against us ! By the words of our mouth, by crooked speech ! You are snared by the words of your mouth ! (Proverbs 6:2). It is not the length of the prayer that moves God. Nor will you be heard for your much speaking. Now there is no doubt in my mind that every time she pray for her husband, she said, "my husband is getting meaner. He is not getting any better. He won't go to church with me." And the Word teaches that you shall have what you say or pray. (Mark 11:23--24). Now you can seed the mistake she made. As many do ! Jesus said, whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them. She didn't desire for her husband to get meaner. She didn't desire for him to stay-at-home. Why was she praying that way ? She was deceived by Satan and held in bondage by the words of her own mouth. As many are, who do not take out the time in the process of renewing their mind with the Word of God. In fact, she was holding her husband in bondage also. She had taken him out of God's hands and He couldn't work on her behalf, because in prayer she was saying and praying the things she did not desire. She was holding fast to the problem. "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession (confession) of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised;" (Hebrews 10:22-23). The Word of God is the object of our faith, saying what God has said will bring you to victory in your life !
