Steps to Powerful prayer
Call unto Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things that you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3
- Worship. Praise brings us into God’s presence and forces Satan to flee. “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” Psalm 100:42
- Be still and know that He is God. Psalm 46:10 Take time to clear your mind of everything and focus on God.3
- Confess your sins and cover them with the blood of Jesus. 1 John 1:94
- Submit to God with your whole being. Search your heart for areas that you are still holding on to. Have you given Him everything, including your choice of career, spouse, friends, school, and lifestyle? Tell him that you are holding nothing back. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.” 1 Peter 5:65
- Believe that God will hear and answer. “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:66
- Do battle in the spiritual world. Pray on the spiritual armor from Ephesians 6. Take back the victory, joy, and power Satan has tried to steal from you. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:127
- Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. We often talk to God and don’t wait for a response. Let your Father talk to you today. “’No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him’ – but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-108
- Keep on asking until the answer comes! He will answer our prayers, but He works on His timetable, not ours. “Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:79
- Praise the Lord that He has heard you, and He will answer you according to His will. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-1510
- Act on what God has revealed to you in prayer. God will entrust you with big things only after you have been responsible and obedient with little things. “Do whatever He tells you.” John 2:5
