The Purpose of Prayer

One of the signs that you trust God is that you are patient with Him. Patience is the ability to hold onto the word of God permanently. If you trust in God, you are willing to hold on to what He has said, no matter how long it takes. Your approach does not change with changing seasons because you know that God will do what He has committed Himself to do.

How To Trust God: Patience

Prayer is an expression of trust and dependence on God. God’s cure, solution & prescription for any earthly human problem is prayer. When you pray, you move away from a place of anxiety and into a place of trusting God. The one who trusts in God continues in prayers and supplications night and day. 

How To Trust God: Prayer

Man was not made to carry cares. If you keep carrying problems, you will breakdown. Every burden can be handled adequately by our God. Stop worrying, trust God and cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you.

Trust God and Cast Your Cares Upon Him

13 Steps to Answered Prayer -  Dr David Antwi

Prayer is not a technique. It is about mastering His presence. The foundation of being a Christian is surrounded by prayer, prayer attached to the faith you have in God.

The Principle Of Faith In Prayer

The Bible tells us that God is near to all those who call upon His name in truth. This means that as a believer you must learn how to cry out to God, how to pray an effective prayer. There are factors and conditions for answered prayers, so It is important that every believer knows these keys to effective prayer.

Keys To Effective Prayer

Patiently waiting for God is hard work. Seasons change, but God doesn’t change. You have to trust that God will keep His word. If you are going to have confidence in God, you need patience. This is not the time to give up. Don’t cast away your confidence; it has great recompense of reward.

Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence

Living a life without prayer, makes you a victim. We can never pray enough, we must pray in and out of season. Jesus emphasises the importance of prayer throughout scripture, making us aware that men always ought to pray. Instead of complaining about our challenges, we must bring them to God in prayer.

The Power Of Prayer

Without believing, we cannot tap into the blessings and favour of God. In order to Allow God to fight for us, we must paralyse our fears and get into faith. When we speak the word we have received, it kicks our faith into action. When we do this, we invite God to help us and fight our battles

Believe God & Trust God

When we begin to walk with God, we have been enlisted into an army, and as part of an army, we must not relax when there is an enemy on our territory. Any negative situation that has stayed in your life persistently is the enemy in your territory, the sign of a curse. One way to suspend such a curse is to serve God diligently. We must engage ourselves in Kingdom service, both humbly and diligently, to procure the blessing of God over our lives. You can’t be serving God and be a victim.

Serving God Suspends Curses

There is nothing that lies beyond the reach of prayers - every problem that we may face can be dealt with in prayer. When we are able to pray fervently in faith, things will begin to change in our lives. As part of our salvation, there is an inheritance in God for us. You must know how to engage in the prayer that gets answered to access this inheritance. When you ask in faith, God will answer your prayers.

Getting Your Prayers Answered

As a believer, there is always more working for you than against you. This holds true even when things don’t look like they are going your way - it is an unseen reality. Therefore, you must start looking at what is unseen with the eyes of the Spirit. The eye of the Spirit can see beyond what is natural, beyond your physical circumstances because these things are only temporal. You must learn to focus your attention on the reality that all things are working together for your good.

Unseen Realities

There may be some forces of darkness that are eating away at the destinies of your life. The whole world lies under the sway of the evil one, designed not to allow you to succeed, or to see the glory of God in your life. Your destiny is supposed to blossom because of who we are in Christ. There are things you need to do to free you from these powers and principalities that have taken hold of your destiny in God. You must take dominion and deal with the adversaries of your destiny.

Dealing With Adversaries Of Destiny

Gaining anything from God starts with looking into the scriptures and having faith in them. Every miracle starts with belief in God. When we fail to mix the word with faith, it can hinder usfrom  receiving a miracle. Miracles can also be hindered by simply receiving the word on a surface level, and not allowing it to work in our lives. Alongside this, lack of belief in the prophet sent to you by God and lack in indulgence in scripture; can be major hinderances in receiving miracles
