(You Can Achieve A Lot In The Place Of Prayer)
TO THE BIBLE: 2 TIMOTHY 1:6 KJV
“…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
LET’S TALK
Prayer isn’t about trying to convince God to do something for you. He’s already done everything you need through Christ Jesus.
So, what does prayer really do? Prayer lifts your spirit to a level beyond this world. It enables your spirit to get a hold of divine inspiration that helps you communicate at a realm that’s above this world.
It helps you to function in union with Deity such that your spirit rises to God’s realm of operation and then takes control of the situation.
Let’s say you’re praying and asking the Lord for something that you desire. As you pray and trust God for it, the Holy Spirit quickens your spirit to incubate upon that situation with God’s Word.
Suddenly, you’re enabled to see. It’s like “stepping on the mountaintop,” from where you’re able to look at the rest of the world.
When your spirit catches this vision, you’ll start declaring, “I have it in the Name of Jesus!” At that point, nothing can shake your faith because you’ve seen it in the spirit, and you know it’s yours.
This is what faith is all about—believing that what you’ve hoped for is already yours because you’ve seen it and claimed it with your spirit.
After you’ve taken hold of it in prayer, it might happen the same day, the next week, or even months or years later.
But that’s why Jesus said in Luke 18:1 that we should always pray and never give up. Keep declaring that it’s yours because your spirit has already claimed it. Hallelujah!

Hebrews 11:1-3; James 5:16-18 AMPC; Luke 18:1 NIV
Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for giving me a deeper understanding of prayer and what it does for me. As I remain reverent and consistent in prayer, my heart is full of the revelation of your Word, giving no room for doubt or unbelief, and my faith prevails against all opposing circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
