Prayers

---

Prevailing prayer is profuse
Frequent, incessant, expectant
When you wrestle with God,
Refuses to take, ‘No’ for an answer
As you plead your case for what’s your due
It is bold but not brash, daring in faith
as you thug, like a bulldog, the promises of God
and say: ‘This is mine, Lord, according to Your Word
You said, ask and you shall receive
Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened;
And you’re not a man that you should lie.
So Lord, do it, in Jesus Name!


Prevailing prayer is prayed with fasting
As you bombard heaven, denying your flesh
Any lee way to weigh you down;
When you tell God:’ I come according to your Word‘
I will not leave You until you bless me;
I will do what it takes to obtain Your promises
That are, ‘Yes and Amen’ in Christ Jesus.
Principalities must let go;
‘I bind the strong man and obtain what is mine!

Prevailing prayer is laced with praised and worship
where you sing praises in your prison, like Paul and Silas:
praise ye the Lord , His mercies endure for ever;
He set me free, He set me free, He broke the chains of prison for me;
set free to worship , set free to praise Him,
set free to rejoice before the throne forever more
You Remind God of His Covenant-
that He is a covenant keeping God,
who will not alter the Word He had uttered.

Prevailing prayer can be marathon-
not a 100metre dash, where you go again
and again unrelenting even if it rains,
like the woman who kept pestering the unjust judge
until he relented and gave her what she wanted.
It is patient, saying :I will wait until my change comes

Prevailing prayer leaves no stones unturned
repenting of any sin, omission or commissions
Realising that ‘if I have any iniquity
in my heart the Lord will not hear me.’



Prevailing prayer is passionate, importunate,
fully persuaded that God is faithful
and watches over is Word to perform it
heaven and earth will pass away
but His word will not pass away
The grass may wither, the flowers may fade
but the word of God abides forever
It cries Abba Father!
it is deeply involved, contending ,
commanding binding, losing,
its emotions are involved, interjecting :
‘O’ hmms, yes, Aha Ah. Lord God, let go!,
I decree, it knows the kingdom of God
suffers violence but the violent takes it by force.
It makes prophetic moves
Speaking to your self;
'you are born to win.'
Letting God Speak to you:
‘No weapon fashioned against you will prosper
Be strong in Me and in My mighty power.
Be not afraid, neither be dismayed.
Stand still and see the salvation of your God!’

It uses object as points of contact,
Addresses principalities and powers
to bow to the name of Jesus, imitates Jesus
Declares: ‘It was You who said: …prove Me.
Plead your case with Me.’
It prays back the prophetic word it had received
to God or the adversary; ‘Hear the word of the Lord!...

Prevailing prayer is purposeful
and effective and powerful.
It does not beat about the bush
It has a ‘’do-or-die’ attitude:
if I perish I perish!
Using the hands of faith,
it to obtain the promises,
using the weapons of our warfare
it contain the principalities.
It is not afraid or ashamed to make noises,
shout or give a victory chant.
before it sees the answer.
It does not act dignified
but prays with reckless abandon.
