SPEAKING FAITH-FILLED WORDS IN PRAYER !

SPEAKING FAITH-FILLED WORDS IN PRAYER ! : There are several ways that you can release the ability of God within you. You can release God's ability and prayer (Mark 11:23). You can release God's ability through speaking faith filled words. If you will team both of these together, speaking faith filled words and prayer, then it will become a mighty force working for you. (Mark 11:24) we are dealing primarily with releasing the ability of God through prayer, through accurate prayer. Inaccurate prayer, if answered, will spell trouble. WHAY PRAYER IS NOT: Before going any further, let's find out what prayer is not. Prayer is not telling God your problem, obviously we have heard others prayed and we think this is the way we are to pray or many people will use the model prayer that Jesus taught his disciples and think that is a prayer. Jesus said, Your Father knoweth what things you have need of, before you ask him (Matthew 6:8). For years, I thought to pray was to tell God the problem. No, this is not prayer. That is complaining ! Telling God the problem is complaining. Prayer is not trying to change God's mind. God changeth not. Have you ever wonder why Jesus said, "Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). Notice in this text the subject is you loose or bind ! All heaven will stand behind what you say in prayer, if you are repeating what God said. But not only will it work in prayer, it will also work in the things you speak. You can loose the ability of Satan against yourself by the words of your mouth, even in prayer. (Proverbs 6:2). "You are snared with the words of your lips, you are called by the speech of your mouth." In Matthew, chapter 6, Jesus is teaching his disciples principles of prayer, and Jesus know how to teach prayer accurately. If anyone know how to pray, I believe Jesus did. So let's see what Jesus said about prayer: "But when you pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathens do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. The not you therefore like unto them; for your Father knoweth what things you have need of, before you ask him (Matthew 6:7-8). Notice Jesus said that the Father knows the need before we ask Him. So we can determine from the word of God that you don't get your prayer answered because you need it answered. I believe we can safely pull that out of the Scripture and say it is a fact from the Word of God: praying is not telling God your need ! Some people have prayed, "Lord, I need this," and "Lord, I need that." He knows, but He doesn't answer prayer on the basis of need. If He did, there would be no needs. Need is not what moves God; faith does. Vain repetitions do not move God; faith does. Much speaking does not move God; faith does.
