Praying Effectual Prayer part 2

I want to show you what effects your prayer bects, so that when you start praying, you will know what to focus on as. You are interacting with God. There are things that comes from israelm and everybody who is impactful in prayer expects to receive those things. And if you are not receiving those things, no matter how you are feeling like, your prayers non affected. Because the proof that your prayer is effective is not in how long you praid it. Now, long prayer is very important, there are too many advantages to it. The proof that your prayer is affected is not how loud you pray it. The proof that your prayer is affected it is not the post job with which you prayed it. The proof that your prayer is affected is not how much sweat you sweated, why you are praying it. All of these things are good. It reveals different things in prayer dynamics. If you pray with intensity with sweat, even if you're in an air conditioned environment, that's the time when you're wet sweat. But sweat is not the goal. I didn't got to pray to sweat. If sweat is the goal, I would rather power it out myself and feel wet. Rather thanm praying for six hours, I'm coming out with sweat. Pray long in itself is not the goal. Praying long means I don't want to stop until I get to where I'm going. Are you following? So if I'm not got in what I'm looking for, then the journey has not ended because the length of the prayer itself is not my desire. As a mark of spiritual discipline, I train myself to pray for. Long, but I want to achieve something more than just praying for long. If you see an athlete running on the field for ten hours, it's not the time. That is focusing on. Maybe it's going for marathon in the Olympics, and in the Olympics he's going to. Run with many champions. He's running long to increase his space and endyor runs so that when he goes for the real Olympics. Here we run and not get tired, and we run to win. The trophies is focused, not the time. So you must lend these things because we are beginning to bastardize prayer in our generation. People take trophy for prayer, posture, the prayer, the tech trophies for praying loud, the tech trophies for praying and sweating? What the show when you read your Bible? How many places did the Bible tell you that the goal of prayer was that the pread long. I've forgotten this scripture. I will such it. Help me such it. Those of you are the technical units. I read a group of people who firsted and prayed for seventy year, and God showed up and said, what have you been doing? Any of you have read that scripture? Seventy years of praying and firsty God shows up? I said, what are you doing here? Can you imagine? Be careful what you are doing. Find out what the Bible says to focus on, so that you don't get angry even with God, that old age, My God, my God. Those of you who carry twelve hours of your head. It's important though spiritual discipline, but the length of prayer, their length should not be your focus. They have people three your uncles here? Can we have it? The NLG I need knew now. I'm not discouraging you from prey long. There are things that if you have not built capacity to pray long, you will not even be there when the answer comes. Do you get it? The profit prayed for twenty one days before gat preassured off if he did have tamina to be there when the answer came, he won't be there if the answer comes. So I'm not I'm just telling you that. Your goal should be what prayer produces, not how long you were there. Develop The capacity to stay is spiritual discipline. You need the strength to tarry. But if your tarry without result, it's a waste. Imagine if a woman was pregnant for nine months, went into label and carried out the whole label process with the pains and the bad. Fans, and she comes out with steal bed. She was such a woman not cry. Imagine if that kind of woman comes out and say, I carry that booting for nine months. Ah, I wait in the lab. Look, look are you, Matt Wesley. The nine months is not the focus. The bad pang is not the focus. Where is the child? That's all the woman is looking for. Of necessity, she must carry the pregnancy for nine months. She wouldn't deny it because without the nine. Months will be no child. Of necessity, there must be bad pants because. She has to. She needs to push to bring forth. But at the end of the day, the nine months and the bad pangs. It's not a focus. The child is a focus. Have you seen any pregnant woman before whom's goal is to carry pregnancy for nine months, go through bad pangs. And that is it. But that's what we do. I just canceled for three hours. Thank God, What is that? What came out of it? The guy's not who expecting anything? I know. I've been praying for the past forty years. Glory to God. Where is the result of the prayer. It's like a pregnant woman, nine months of pregnancy, all the bad banks, the whole labor process, but she came out of the world of the law of the labor room without a child. Don't pray like that. We appreciate the pregnancy. We recognize the place of labor, traveil, bad banks, but our focus is a man child. Let the child, the voice of the baby be heard. Otherwise that whole process was a torment. Many people what they God prayer is it torment? That's why they don't enjoy it. Say to all your people and your priests. During the seventy years of exile, when you're first at a moned. In the summer and in the early autumn. Was it really for me that you were fasting? Lord? You know what money is. That's traveilu travailing were fastive for seventy years. You are asking, it's not youa father who hells? Who do we first? When we pray? Their objectives? Effectual prayers are meant to produce results. And I show you some of the results of effectual prayers. Number one, my God, let's begin with the one in our uncle scripture, power to create change. When you find a man who prays and praise effectually, he builds. Up power to provoke change. That man is the address of change. If you need to see a change, just get him to talk. When he talks, things happen. See people who really pray, They don't go about telling people that they pray. Is their results that follow them, that tell you and suggests to you that they are people of prayer. See what the Bible says back to our scripture is a confess yourself one to another that you may be healed. Let's go to amplify it. Let's read amplify it and like amplified for this one. He said, they have failed. Persistent prayer of a righteous believer or man can accomplish much is the way put into action and made effective by God. It is dynamic and have tremendous power, So effect your prayer is an explosive device. It's a prayer of power. If there's no power to create change, it's not effectual. It's not a feeling, it's a power. Look at the verse seventeen, the moment Elijah finished brain that prayer is that Elijah is a man with a nature like our us, same physical, mental and spiritual limitations and shortcomings. Is that he prayed intensely for it not to rain, and what happened, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. You can't tell anybody who knows what he is doing that you pray and you can't create a change. You shout your talk, nothing apples. We can't see your results are if you are really praying and praying correctly, your resources you precede you. In fact, before they call your name, there should know the dimension that you represent before you see Elijah. You know fire. He can cut down fire, he can close the heaven, he can open the heaven. That's the proof of a light. Just prayer. So the proof of a light. Just prayer is not how he prayed. It's the results that they commanded. He had power for change. I'm not saying what you are doing is completely wrong. I'm saying we should make it effective by beginning to focus on what the Bible says it should produce, not what we are feeling. You are praying. You can't speak over somebody's business and it shifts. You can't speak over somebody's health and there's a change. You can't speak over circumstances and all to them, and you are brackadosious about prayer. You don't know what prayer is. You don't pray to brak. Your results are the signs that you are a prayer man effect. Your prayers are designed now we are praying of Don't get me wrong, but the problem is that we are focusing on the wrong things. We pray for applauds, No, sir, pray to open heavens. We pray to be seen of men. No prayer to create change. You should reach a level where even when you speak casually, things happen. God do not stand wanting you to be careful with your jokes because they ran you're pretty now. They don't know where that jokes exist. Have you ever had did you read anywhere in the Bible that Jesus crack jokes? Because if he cracked jokes, the power he carried with animated. Somebody told us a story about one of the patriarchs who was a prayer giants. I've forgotten which now the stories were many. Is that he got home and somebody provoked him or something, and I said, are you mad? And the person went mad? How many of you heard the story? It was his name be mad? Is that what's wrong with you? Are you going crazy? And and that are gone? And leg she left? I heard of w K. I can't remember this. One brought a madman in chains and. He said losing. Nobody knew whether he was talking to Satan or to those who tied him. But when the people were trying to lose the guy, the demons are already losing. The guy was saying he didn't pray losing. Both the man and the demon had the command that's the man of prayers. He doesn't need to tell you that I pray no losing. You. We know where he's talking from. Because your all ties you're thrown. If you have one, it will speak lose him. They told us he had a pastor who was struggling in one branch every month complained to headquarters. He now visited. When he entered, they said, where's the room? They said here. He entered, locked the door. After three days went out. Whether he was murmuring or crying or wailing, whatever he said between him and God there and left a few months later, the auditorium was packed. He expelled demons, he opened evon, things took off. So when you meet something while you say you pray, there'll be wondering. Vishal woe was that He. Went to the village and they told him one of his nephews was mad. They locked him in the room. Nobody could approach it, and he walked in ware see come on now. When they came, he said, the angels that could not keep their first estate. He bound in the bottomless feed. Hey, what are you doing here? The demon's head and left. He said, now get up drive with me, and he took a drive with the brother. He came back. That was the end of madness. They did. Is changed. That's prayer. Now look at Joshua, tend best way, see the. Excellence your prayer. Say there are better things to admire than a caricature push. They are better things to admire than a loud voice. Some of us put ourselves on the pressure. The momentary carried his mind. We almost want to die. Let people know that there's interennity. Ah. If you faith, you need glukosu. If you if you hit that crescendo, it will show, sir. But live. Nobody's putting you on the pressure. If you come here and what God is doing. In your spirit is to just walk and talk to God. And if a thought need you scream as you want to, but let it be by the spirit. The man who pray prayers effect for a prayer. Then spect Joshua to the Lord in the day. The Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and is said, in the sight of all. Israel, when you see men of prayer, you will love there. What is going on? It's not what do we do. The guy showed up Mara Gui Tobacco. He thought before everybody hear what he said that if you know a man's mind can conceive, this. Is the song. Stand dow still upon. Gibbeon son, who has spoken to song before? Where did you read it. Only he knew where he johnnyed to. Only him knows. Son stands still a poon gibbeon and thou moon. This is a man commanding the constellations. Thou moon is said, stand still in the valley of a channel. H hear what the Bible said, invested thing, and the songs tood still, and the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. He said, this not written, because. Those suits where they had to chronic it was this not written in the book of Jashua. So the song stood still in the midst of heaven and has had not to go down about the whole deed. A man of prayers spoke, change this, change constellation, change the outcome of battle by words. This is the same exercise that we are carrying out. These are the things that should drive out our motivation. But we have walked down prayer to work in like a praying mountains. Something is wrong, and if we don't emphasize this, we will forget our heritage. This is our headag. This is what the fathers left for us. They didn't leave postures for us. That's where their testimony is. Is that in Romans fifteen four. The things that were written, they were written for our learning. That way, through patience and comfort of the scripture, might have hope. When you pray, try to create change. You check your family. See how many poor people are there? See how many sick people are there? See how many people are dying? How dare you come to the autumn play around? When destinies depend on you, generations depend on you, You have an opportunity to engage God because God has given you light and you want to make a mess of it, don't waste your life. Ship before God. To my stand, there shall be no rain or deal. I thought they would say, except when God speaks. He said, except by my word, accept by my ward. Except by my ward, there shall be no rain ordio. Oh my God, See I don't know about you. These are the things I read that no matter how I pray, I'm not satisfied. And it's not like these things were in the Bible days only. I was in Uganda recently and I was to come up to bridge in the morning session. And when I was driving in, I saw people sat down with umbrellas somewhere under the song. My heart was touched Number one. I was so blessed to see the pack. There's reviv you Gandha. Don't be here deceiving yourself thinking that hey Nigeria, we'll lead Africa and. The war if you joke there is heat theory viver in your Ganda. People sat in the lane, and while I stood there, I felt an impression that when I come up, I should tell the people let's pray for God to that's something happen about it. So before coming up, the persiach doctor Robert Gayandra now walked up. I said, Rey, we have understood your message. You came this morning to tell us that God will bless his people. Now that we have had your. Message, behave hey, hey, hey, hey held himself. I said, behave no motter, behave, behave. When he woke for a while, he now caught me off. I was just introducing my message. When they haven't shot, they rained, didn't just stop. The song came out. The heat was so heavy that he. Had to come back and interrupted mine to dos song and say, it's like we need to balance the weather. I can by prayer, I with her in prayer. When I leave this war, how we going, I can by praya I with her in prayer. When I leave this would are we going? I can't by prayer when I need one of the delivatives of if effectual prayer, it's powerful change. See when you start praying, what should motivate you are the possibilities that your author can bet. He said, as soon as Scion travailed, it is a Zion travid. If it's our generation, that scupture would have been as soon as Zion travailed. She has travailed. But the generation where they wrote it. The ram where it came from, is that as soon as Zion traveled, she brought forth her children. The goal is not the travail. Where are the sounds of Zion? Where are the daughters of Zion? We have traveled? Are we only producing steel bath? This is why we teach this subject. What motivates your prayer? You must become dissatisfied with the atmosphere you carry, with the possibilities that follow you. Say the man that shot off. On Sundays, if you can't hear, come, all of you who have been praying for five years? How many of you can do that? Do you remember when last you saw a man of God? Say, if you can't walk, come, out. If you can't hear come out, when was the last time? If you can't see it come out, we don't even have the audacity because if more audacity comes from the order, the audacity to confront situations. Now go back twenty years, thirty years. See the way the Father's worked. Thank God for what he's doing with us. But there is more, so much more that we are about to begin to forget. But the generation must refuse to forget. We must remember our heritage. We came from a place men spoke and circumstances were ordered, not just theircumstances among men, even the consolations hit them. Effect your prayer, when you pray, insists that your prayer will change circumstances. That's your focus outside knowing God, communing with God. They remaining are the free paths of prayer. My prayer must change the constance. But so God will send me a message that somebody sent him from Australia. Was that nose of cancer? Just spoke to her? Casuality left? A few weeks later, A fried I tell God, what how can I see this every week? It shouldn't be once in a while. A point you come when. You should start being careful on how to talk, because you will notice that the things you set. Cash when they have the impact. Because you you. Can you touch electric naked wire any way, anyhow I won't touch you. Won't do with you any day. Anytime you touch a naked wire, a live wire, it wish some we fry you. That. There are those they call high tension high tension wire. If you touch those ones, you'll go black because at all time they discharge rate is high. That's what prayer does for you. Is that building up yourself upon your muscle. This faith is charging yourself. How can you say you are charged but there's no change. I speak like this because I speak from a body. Our generation we. Not get it wrong. We may not have got in there, but that's important. We know where we are going because I've thought you here. If you're in the wrong direction, speed is not an advantage. This is the only. Generation where stadium can be packed. Crowds can come from crusade or we have to show a pictures of multitude. This is the only generation. We come from big meetings and we have pictures of the field, full of the whole, full of the stadium food. Where are the crotches we are the dead that came back to life. We are the blind. That's all. You must become bodied. Become bodied. I've not gotten there, but I know where am going if I see it. If I get there, I will know. But while I am yet traveling, I won't confuse my destination. If I say I pray, I won't need to tell anybody. When I come. The response, the effect on the environment we show. I read the story of the el Moodie. They said, if it got to a place, people are explained or that they are anointing, and they don't just four down. They are healed, they are transformed, and they knew him for it. All of you here must have heard the story of Adanash. We quote it, but we don't have his results. They prayed before crusades. You got check what happened in those crusades. The excellency of the prayer was. The results that were commanded in the crusades. Let's get it right. Something's going wrong. Otherwise, after three years, five years of prayer, you will become frustrated. You will come frustrated because the things that prayers should change, yours won't change it. You think you will keep being impressed. By Most of the things I'm being impressed to, you will outgrow them. When the realities of life confront you, many things will impress you again. Number two, please sit down. Effect feedbacks products of effectual prayer, revelation, insight, and clarity of vision. No man who prays effectually is confused. No, it's not possible, because when you pray correctly, you will see your spiritual senses will be activated. Sometimes I am thrown aback when I see people who say they are praying and their common fused about everything, and I wonder. How are you doing this your prayer? He have a come two from verse one to three, always turned upon my watch. Prayer is actually called watch they are t's actually called watch tower. How can we pray and we are blind? We pray, we are not sensitive. We pray, we are not discerning. It means we are pray wrongly. There's a generation where people can't as much as isolate who they want to marry. They are confused looking at skin color, height, and body postion. People can't tell where God wants them to go. We are seeing raising people who are like Lord. After many generations, it's greener pasture that tell them the location of their destiny. Till today we have people who don't know they are calling. So what can of prayer? We pray? H I will stand upon my watch. I will set me upon the tower and watch to see. So the guy was watching to see. He was praying to see to see what we said to me, and how I shall be reproved. How I will answer when I'm reproved. That's two he said. And the Lord answered, why you pray? You we answer? He said, right the vision, make it play upon tables that in my rown. That reads it. So people who pray and leaders, they give direction toward us because they know where they are going. It's never going in the wrong direction. You will hear voice behind you telling you this is the way to go. Are you praying? You're confused? You're not praying? It rich was It's religion. Jerematha thrievers three. Is they ask ask of me? And I will answer. That means even doos who are not praying to see if they are really praying. A point will come when he will show them. I will show you great and mighty things that you know not of. You can't pray and be blind. If you are blind. It means you are pray wrongly. This thing is so powerful that you can even pray it for others and they will see. See what was said efficients one read from verse fifteen. You can pray orders to see how much for you who is praying? How can you be blind praying? We are four eye also after I ahead of your faith in the Lord, in the Lord Jesus. And your love one to all saints. Verse sixteen, sease not to give thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers? What was he praying? That the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give one to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, that the eyes of your understanding mean enlightened, that you may know, that you may know your eyes been enlightened. A man knew that prayer is so effective that he will only open his own eyes. He can pray it and somebody else's eyes open. What did the liights do with Gehazi? We have more on our side. He was the panicking lord open his eyes to see, and the guy's eyes open. So these guys knew the power of unveiling in prayer so much that they didn't just have it. They could pray for other people. And we say we are praying. Yeah, there is confusion as touching every sensitive thing about destiny. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Number three, When you pray, you grow in wisdom and discretion. You hardly pray and. Remain foolish, because prayer is come union with the spirit of God, who is the spirit of wisdom. When you find people without discretion making only the wrong decisions, something's wrong with their prayers. There are areas that are seasons of your life when you can make errors, make mistakes, but there is a level you get to in life. Mistakes become too expensive. Only why you make your most pity. This is why one of our insurances this prayer. Because prayer PA's wisdom. Either you ask for it or you break into it. Look at James one five. They say you can ask. If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask God that give it all men liberally and non bred not, and it shall be given him. But whether you ask or not, if you keep praying your way break into it. Look at Solomon first Kings three from verse five to twelve, when they offered the thousand pound offering to the Lord and made worship onto God. God appeared to him and said, what do you want? He broke into it on the orth and Solomon asked for wisdom and discretion, a wise heart. The level of mistakes we make, the volume, it shows that we are not very effective in prayer. Mistakes with words, mistake with opposite sex, mistake with finances. It is too much. You can look at save for young people today and you'll just see error. They call it fire. But when you ask those who are experienced, held that's here, they just look at you. They you know that something is tearing you off. But in a second, just a glance, they can read out too many errors. It's too much, from pride to arrogance, it's everywhere. You need to see the level of gossip. In the body of Christ today, not to talk of malice and bitterness. Today you hardly go to the internet and you don't hear a preacher casticating another one. It's hard. Now, I'm not saying don't address error. Some of the things I'm addressing here is error. But I'm talking literally picking people out and rob beating them. In fact, it gives us joy when we see people for and you are wondering do these people pray. I was discussing with a friend recently, and we said, even when you are the friend dealing with a person who has hired, if you pray before dealing with the matter, your approach would be different because you will set things to build people up, not to destroy them. If their heart is right and they are not proud when they hate, they will lend. But today is bitterness, is aggression. And when we finished, we see gossip and tear people down behind them. Many people who meet you and say I'm shocked this know what I heard? Wow, And they're not supposed to meet you and confirm what your brethren told them. Rather, when they meet you, they tell you what we had. It took God commanding us to see the later with you. This is where we are. Number four Effectual prayers. Effective prayers produce healing and restoration. When we pray effectively, people get healed, people get restored. Same scripture James five fourteen, this time to sixteen. Is any man sick, is anyone among you, sik let him call for the elders of the church, and they are to pray over him, anointing him with a yea in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is seek and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed cynatire be forgiven him. Today you ask yourself if your relative has a medical emergency, will you direct him to church or the hospital? Just say the truth in your heart. I'm not saying there's no healing in church. There are many God is see using mightily. But check the volume. I had. I heard of the the healing revivor in the US in the. Days of Maroon, Braham tell Osborne or a robots. You could count over taty people in one nation that you could enter and you will see. Raw raw move of God, raw the dead, rising, cripples, walking, blind eye see. And they had word of faith and prayer. I said this to challenge yourself, and that's why some of us thank God that our fathers are still here. Take a census, just in your head, find out in the body of Christ. Just use Nigeria as a case study. All the places where no table signs and wonders are taking place. If you were to do a map or a graph, hope you know ninety percent is with ministers that are. From fifty and above. No table. Where you see complete blind eyes open, paralyze people walking. If you draw your graph with the whole. Reviver, we are singing among the youths ninety percent. You can literally count on your finger one hand how many people that have one or two notable science and one that's who are below forty, below fifty. Something needs to be corrected because our focus is wrong. Something is wrong. When you pray effective prayer people get here. Is that the prayer of it will heal the sick, it will yield. That prayer is supposed to produce healing. We are not supposed to pray for people and send them to the hospital if we are sending them there to confirm healing. But when we pray, we don't remember it. The momentary sweat shout and two three people fall down is a massive meeting. Oh, we come out and say it was explosive. What made it explosive? The volume was loud, people fell down. I love what the evangelist said on Sunday. Somebody felt down and said falling. That's not a miracle. Standard you are overwhelmed by the presence of God. This is good, but we want your death ere. To open, o God, go beyond falling down, Go beyond shouting. Effective prayer is designed to produce living and restoration. And if you don't tell yourself, you won't see it. It was all a Roberts that said, what you are conscious of is what you see. If you're entering a meeting, If you are going to. Your hotel prayer and all you are looking for is hi someday or people falling down, they will fall in good number. But effective prayer is designed to produce missing. We need to become angry. The Bible say, out of the mouth of babes and socklings, God, that's adair strength. Let us tell ourselves. The time has come where they will bring people in chains and they are healed. Sometimes it's almost. Fathectic that we announced Miracusavis, and they sick, respect themselves and stay at all. But here call any father of fed today. Here that is come into town. They will bring some of them from villages. They carry some in canapet. Some they carry them on their head and come and drop them. They drop them on the ground there, and when the meeting is over they walk home. When this man come for meetings. They have a session for sick people. Sometimes they put them in front. They know that they got the meeting secret with manifest in public. About us. I went somewhere to bridge and I just made declaration the moment I say, if you are here, it come some se lost us. They carry two people on which they were They push there to different. When I saw them, my hearts keep what is wrong with you? Do you think it's Advoka again? My heart, I'm like full of prophetic instruction. Did you hear me? Stir bring? I think if you are here, where are you? They pushed them. When I left that meeting, I told myself, Lord Lord, whatever you did to your servants that you use mightily, you must. Do it here. See I've seen some things. That's why I talk to you the way I do. Then we'll invite you. For some meetings. Pay for your flight more than ten thousand dollars. It's one night. You think it's to come and talk and walk away. Then we keep them. You must pray, pray and let them. Not be huge. Go home with your disgrace. Let this short that you came here and. Nothing happened, But don't come here and work like a man of rank, And then we. Honor you are your grandma. And when I kneel down, see my heart used to go deep into God. It goes deep because I want to come up with something. I want to come out with something, because I know there's a level we are talking. And I'm telling you. When you start first five years, first seven years, first ten years of your ministry, people say, ah, God is happy you. They are encouraging you. After ten years, twelve years, if you're still talking, they will look for where they can get to read some stan because they have needs set and there's perfecting them. They have a lot of these. Then thank God for what you were saying, but they will waste their time with you. Be bodied. Being bodied effectual prayer is designed to engender healing and restoration. In first some were seven if you read from Vers. Twelve to fourteen, when Israel was besieged, army failed, money failed, they called for somewhere. It wasn't the time to encourage them. If you are a prophet, we need you now. And when some were came, he didn't tell them about his encounters. There's a place to tell people. You went to heaven. Now we are on the attack. Bring that thing you came from heaven. With. That's what we are looking for. We're tired of the stories of where you went to somewhere new. The Bible said, they put the stone, put aw air on it and called it Apenniza. While was talking, the Bible said, count that from heaven is that the army was discomfited and there was restoration. It is that the land that they took from Israel, from Akron to God was restored. And it said the hand of God was perpetually against the Philistines all the days of someone's life. Where is the restoration? Where is the healing? We are shouting that we are prayer giants. Where is the restoration? We are looking for people who have made it in society. When they come, we give them from seat and talk for lightly, can we make our own people? The people who are coming to you now that you are calling sons and daughters, they are not your sons. They gave their heart to Christ twenty years ago. Somebody had decided them. They just love the trend that they're around you. If you want your own songs, go and win souls. Let the words you are preaching tom poor people to influence the people because you give them wisdom. You give them principles. You give them strateages. Let people who are sick be made, let those who are demonize, let demos be cantat from them. Then they look at you and say, you are. My Prophet's tell our selves the truth we come. We're correcting doctrines of fathers who raise the people that are happen as what you are preaching. How many people, as it transformed, A member will come. To you and said, my business failed. Your sparky bounce back, my child died, your spoky. Came back to life. I was down with cancer. I have you redied. I'm saving God today because of you. What do you think? No matter what you do this, men keep following the fadas. They know where they were before they met them. They can't forget it. So it's not about the English on Internet. You look for power. Preys, because in the next thirty years, those who stand with you, they would stand because we're talking. They will stand because they've seen God in you. I'm rounding up. There's no time. My God. Number five deliver runs break through preservation in fact of effectual prayer. P. Fifty ver fifteen. It's not the righteous, cried the Lord. Hear it and deliver it them from all their troubles. When we pray factually their deliverance. In at sixteen twenty five, they bound one silas through them in prison. The Bible said, at midnight they prayed, They sang praises, the preaeding to open. The prayer produce deliverance. The prayer produce breakthrough the prayer and gender preservation Start four verse four. He said, I sought the Lord, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. When you are praying, trust God for deliverance. Not end your prayer with excitement, and do it with an assurance of preservation and deliverance. Number six Strength bordness spiritual empowerment. When your praise you give you strength to go through life. Oh, the vicissitudes of life and much. That's why we pray. We need stamina to walk through life. The hoods are too many. The Bible said in look e three, Verse one. Man ought always to pray and not to fail. So when we pray, we receive strength. Christians shouldn't have heartbreaks. A Christians shouldn't be depressed. When you got to pray, something should come out of your order that gives you strength. Even though mentally it can be comprehended, but the reality can be denied. Is they be anxious for nothing? Philippians four six and seven is said, by prayer and supplication, let your request be made no known to God, is said the peace of God. That's so pass is knowledge. That means technically speaking, I should be depressed. Factually speaking, I should be down. But after I prayed, something hit me. Because they don't wait upon the Lord, they renewed their strength. They mouth talk with wings like egos. When Christians are beating down broken, they is hating. It means something's wrong with the prayer. Prayer should fortify your heart so much that the things that break men you don't notice it. People look at you and said, what are you standing? If you don't know with what has happened, you should be in the hospital. How come your biby has. Not gone up? The bibey should have gone up, but it can't. Because the heart has been fortified. I have become like mount Sion that cannot be moved. Oh as the mountains around Jerusalem. Prayer has caught God to glvanize me to himself. He surrounds me and it converts me with his wings. I can't be moved. That's prayer, you say, Christians pit him by every I'm finished you pray. No, if you pray, you can't talk like that. Prayer will do something to user. Prayer, Well, do something to you. Is that the fig three might not blows on the level of the olive might fail. Oh, there might have been a mine on the three. If on the heart may be empty. He said, But to me, I will trust in the God of my salvation. He causes my feet to walk in my high places, for he has met my feet like hinds feet. Oh my God, nothing is walking but the guys that I will rejoice. I'm not yet married. I will rejoice. The doctor said what he wants. I will rejoice. Everybody's against me. Look at what the summer said. Is that many a day that have reasen up against me? They said, there's no harm for me. He said, for oh Lord, you are received for me my glory the left top of my head. There was a time when the mighty Man of Daddy wanted to spuny the Bible's heard Daddy the encouraged himself in the Lord. He went to the urine and Tommy when he consulted with God. God told him, aries for you over there, I recover all. That's prayer. He's a mystery. Su You can't pray and be busying down You can't pray and be subdued. You can't pray and be overwhelmed. The arrested down Here threw. Him to the lions. Then, But while he was entering his eyes way to sion, when the king came the next day, down Here said, I'm here. No, I'm here. We remain. So we remain. You can't breakcast. We have become like a rock. You can't breakcast. We are here. But what is our secret? The author? The author, We have found the horns of the altar, and so long as we hold it. Salvation is not far. If you don't pray, you will faint. Let's not professy that will have you enough. You must find your own stronghold in the press of prayer. You must find it. See when a Christian comes to you crying, tell him you may not have anybody, or you have God, look for him. Most times. The reason why everything throws us off valads is because we don't have it. We don't have depth. On the otter Job said I will look to the ends of the earth. He's in my redeemer. Leave it. He has seen something from Fah my redima. He leaved. That's the man who lost for his children, lost off his asset, streaky with sickness. Boys job sat in ashes, naked, not to. Talk of the loss of children, of property, not to talk of the pain and the shame. But the man was not broken. My redeemer. Leave it, my redeemer, Leave it, my redeemer, leave it. Help we come from Afar. But before help come, make sure you are standing, so that when health comes, they will meet you there. That was the secret of down here twenty and one days. He was there. So when Cabra came, he found him on the order strength. They beat the disciples of Jesus. They thought they would break them, the Bible said, and asked for They returned to their company. After they lifted their voices and prayed. The place where they were. Was shaking, and they were filled. They came with the spirit. We're out of time, but let me give you the last point. Sit down. The teaching is more important. Mm hmm. We effectual prayer produces forgiveness, cleansing, transformation, and victory over temptation, forgiveness, sayings washed the way cleansing. You are refined, transformation, you are mad time of first, you are upgraded to a level. We are what took you down before won't take you down again. And then victory over temptation. The power to bring you down itself is judged. So when you find people who pray, they keep updating and upgrading, the quality of their lives keep changing. You see him six months later, he's a different man. The glory has increased, the authority has increased. You are wondering what's going on with you? You live toal I remember there was a year when I was praying, fasting twenty one days every month. I first twenty one days, I rest for nine days. I start again. They encounters I heard, even devils came said and came the spirital lost and perversion came to attack me. It's like I had. Transformation and promotion four times in one year. You will come to a place in a matter of months. You're the leadership and you are not just there. If you go ahead, you are changing things that the people became. The jealousy escalated. When did this guy show up for you? Can't you have just been upgraded that it moves you forward, it refines you, It infigurates you. That's what prayer does invest. John one nine, as if you confess your sins, this fat one and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all on righteousness. For he doesn't only cleanse you, he transforms you some fifty ten and pep. When David was pray, what was the focus, creating me a clean heart, renew the right spirit within me. So when you are pray God, it is not only forgiving and cleansing. He's figuring you so that the things that threw you down we no longer have the power to throw you down again. Jesus himself he kept and joins transfiguration by prayer. Of course, he wasn't singing, but he was entering levels of glory to manifest progressively through prayer. In Matchwo seventeen, vers. Two and three, after eight days he took Peter, James and John to the mountain as he prayed, he was transfigured. Before then his raiment began to glow. That's where we transform as we look upon him in prayer, as. We look upon him on the wall, we. Have transfigured second Corregia three eighteen. We are with open face beholding us in the glass the glory of the Lord. We are met Tamo. First, he transfigurres you. You can't be desired, and. You have transfigured to a level where temptation lose his power over you. Check out Jesus matchw twenty six forty to forty two. The spirit is willing, the flesh is weak. What was the cure? Pray? Pray that you fall not into temptation, so. You are cleansed, you are upgraded, and then you are empowered not to go down. That's prayer. So if you want your reality to keep upgrading, stay on the water, because what you see is what you become. And on the orthar we see him as he is. The quality of your Christian experience will change drastically. People, we know that you are different. From the wisdom, to the love of God, to the quality of service, to the righteous lifestyle, to the manifestation of power your way completely be another man, completely, till today some people look at some of us and they're not their head. A friend of mine came recently. He was with the Apostle Dan. They came to the office they came from Austria, right. He looked at me. He laughed, wow, the guy said. The first time he started hearing my messages, he said, wait, is this not. Sky white? What happened here? What? What is this? He couldn't believe his eyes. So the guy was terrified. He kept exclaiming why we were in the office. He wanted to shake me. His bend down. He said, you are a different man. I finished word the hill. On Saturday, I was walking out. I saw one of my mates from the university. I saw him. I was carried away. Now you know, I should him my horse. I was calling him those names we used to call him. He was like this. It was like he stood before his age. When we walked out, he knelt down. He said, pray for me. Ah, oh my god. This was my roommate. When we entered the room. We used to call him Eragon. I hate him. I was joking with him. Said no, sir, pray for me. He knelt down. Oh, we all with on veiled face beholding as in the glass the glory of the Lord. He said. We are we have met first. We are not changed. Is transfiguration the same way an egg becomes a butterfly. You can't correlate it. How did this round over something becomes a winged chritule? How with colorations were beauty? We are transfigured. Everything is re engineered. And when your generations see you, they well forget. Look at Paul, Paul, so was the motra? How did a motra become an apostle with so much excellence? Even Peter, who worked with Jesus, he looked at Paul. He called him, brother Paul. There's no way were with Christ. Where did you come from? Nursa the brilliance. You don't have to be there bodily, but you are there because by prayer he entered there. Oh you know, there's them love love supper that Peter had with Paul waiter Jesus paw To had this soon. He said, I commit to you that which I received from the Lord. I received it too. So I may not be with Jesus in the body, but by prayer I can go to every where Jesus was with them and command the same dimension. Peter looked at him and said, even our brother Paul. And the point came. Paul, grewing this matter fast, said I pray tongs more than you are he grew in this matter. When he was writing the letter to Onesimos. To feel the more about Onesimos, he said, if I Paul the aged, the guy had gained age in Greece, Paul. The aged one, I've grown in light. I've grown, I've grown, he said, Follow me as I follow Christ, mimics and Mimickrist as he is. So are we have cruel? You can't remain like this for ten years. There is a ram where we behold. There's a ram where we have chance. We coat. You can come with package of seed, package of flesh. You can come with fear immediately. But when you come, oh him that dwells in the midst of the coast of fire. John said, when I saw him, he was clothed with Jasper and Sadan. There are Christas in Zion. Wow, we're the oracles on cord I way to motows, because through prayer you. Can hear sound that will ferry you to heave come. Up either so that you can see the things that are forbidden for ordinary men. It is that I had the voice of the seven fronds as I wanted to write, He said, this one is not a message. It's for those who can climb. If you don't come up, you can't see. There are things that can be sent at Episod. There are other things that are caught in Zion. You must go there by this spirit. And he saw him, He saw him, He saw him. When he came back, the only church caught him. John the Divine. He saw too much even death could do swallow him off. Churches betold us. They threw him to boiling oie he couldn't die, tied him to a. Chariot, threw him around the city instead of clean doorst He has found something. He entered the womb of love and saw the d ene of God. That's why he said that which was from the beginning, which we had we looked upon. Were handled. He saw it as it was, He saw him, and they became like him. He was the only one who dared to say, as he is, so are we, because when I saw him, I was chained. That's why he said, what manner of love? As the Father best thought upon us, that we should be called the chance of God. He said, he has not yet appeared what we shall been like. But when we see him. So when he told you as he saw we, he saw. Him, they called him John the divine, the divine, he walked like a man. When they couldn't kill him, they punish him to an island called death. Patmos means death, the place of my dying. But Impactmos he said, I was. In the spirit. I was in the spirit. He found another habitation in Zion. I was in the spirit. Where is your habitation? We have come to mouth Zion, But they are those who dwell in Zion. Where is your habitation? Where is your niche? In Christ? There's the place where light twels. There's the press where fire twells. There's the pless where the secrets of God that cap There's the pleas where the power of God wells. Where is your habitation? We don't prayer to create shows. We pray to travel to place this in God, so that when we come out we become answerst for generation through the transformations that we enjoy in the womb of this period. M HM. A generation was cry, we have lost our heritage, but through God we will find it because it is there in Him, and in Him we leave. In Him we move in Him. We have our bid. We must find it by prayer. Hm. There will be no w to sie. O. Now we pray for one minute. When the glow he comes, there will be no w to sie. Oh. When the glow re come hm, there will be no hos to see Oh. When the glory recmes, there will be no sae. When when the glory recall in the world in ours to say, made the Lord Granto's grace to pray effectively. H. The last point is provision. When you pray effectively, God breaks for vision. John six eleven. Jesus give tongues and gave them the bread and multiplied. You don't pray and luck, the young lion will lock and soft, I won't. The strongest animid, the jungle can lack, can suff I won't. But not the beloved of God, not the ones who call upon this name. In Matthew seven, verse seven, if they ask you receive sick, you'll find knock and the doors shall be open. When you pray, provisions come. I don't have time to show you supernatural provisions. Even the children of Israel and Rebellion in the wilderness, when they cried to God in the wildness, God gave them manner. They cried for me. God gave them. Moses was angry. God, say go and tell them, they will have me to eat, and quails were brought to the camp. When you pray, God will supernaturally provide. God we provide. But the summary of all of these things is relationship. It's about knowing God in his multifascated dimensions. When you speak of provision is a dimension in God. When you speak of power is a dimension. When you speak of wisdom is a dimension. All of the things I've told you Prayer brains the air dimensions. That's why I told you relationship precedes requests. But never waste your life praying for suremanship. Don't waste your life praying to create impression. When you pray, they are things. They are tokens that the Bible has highlighted as feedbacks of prayer. Make sure those tokens speak in your life. If they are not focused on them, they will because when you focus on God, these things at the dimensions God revealed to you as elements of His reality. In the name of Jesus Christ. The grace to pray and to pray effectively, let it rest upon you now, I said. The grass to pray and to pray. Effectively, Let it rest upon you now. That's who you are that's who you are. That's who you are. Oh you mean habanagain, Mama, that's who you are. That's who you are. That's who you Oh, I mean, that's who you are. Oh and we pray for one minute, just braying tom oh I mean. A fin Okay, Mama, that's who you are. That's who you are when you pray. They are feedbacks. The power for change, revelation, insight, clarity of vision, divine wisdom and guidance, healing and restoration, deliverance, breakthrough and preservation, strength, boldness and spiritual empowerment, forgiveness, cleansing, transformation and victory of a temptation, and then divine provision. Make sure these things are traceable to your life in Jesus' name
