What
does it profit a
man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
Matt16:26
- We are all born under the curse.
Some have relatively problem free lives while others have difficulty,
some extreme.
- Without their trust in God, those that we
pray for may never experience healing, deliverance, or peace.
- There comes a turning point in one's life
when one is not experiencing true prosperity to make a full commitment
to God, regardless of how one looks, or to stay stuck in the particular
problem they are facing. Without complete surrender to God
our prayers for them will not bear fruit.
- For those who have been born again, we
must discern whether the trials they are facing are much more precious
than gold that perishes or an aimless attack of the evil one to keep
them from experiencing the mercy and grace of God.
- Prayers for Christians who are still
battling the flesh and sin are more difficult to win than for those who
have yielded to the Spirit and are walking in the Lord.
- If we who are praying for others and are
not right with God ourselves, our prayers may not avail even though it
is a prayer of faith.
- Having a gift of the Spirit is no
indication that a person has worked out their salvation. The gifts and
calling of God are without repentance.
- Our success in prayer is determined by our
faith, our purity, our calling, and our love and the spiritual
condition of the person for whom we are praying. We may have
to cast a spirit out before a physical healing can occur.
- The answer to our prayer for others may
require a preliminary prayer of conviction of sin in order for the
person to be in a position to experience the immediate answer to a
particular problem.
- Rather than questions why God appears
deaf to our prayer, we should look within and evaluate our
own spiritual condition as well as evaluate the spiritual state of the
person being prayed for.
- A curse without a cause does not
alight. A curse causeless shall not come. Prov26:2
- The more you spend time with God the more
you will be successful in prayer. A soul that is still is
open to the still small voice of God.
- God is not the cause of evil. He
is the solution. The devil comes only to steal, kill and
destroy. God comes to give an abundant life. Jn10:10
- Study the word and you will rightly divide
its truth 2Tim3:15
- Where there are at least two believers in
agreement, there is power. Matt18:19
