Prayer is one of the greatest gifts of God to believers. It is the power of access to God’s resources. I call prayer the open door policy of God.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7).
I hear God saying my doors are open; take whatever you want now, not later. Prayer is God’s instrument to aid you to grasp your inheritances in the kingdom. This kind of prayer is called prophetic prayer. It is an act of declaring what has been decided for you to be made manifest. Whenever you are sick, your healing has already been given through the redemption in Christ, but it must be enforced with prophetic prayer. Yes, your health is sure, but it must be enforced.
Prophetic prayer is bold and specific. It is born out of the revelation and understanding of your covenant right in Christ. It is an authoritative prayer of such believer who has taken hold of the truth and ready to appropriate it accordingly. He or she knows that healing, prosperity, and abundant life belong to him or her, so he does not beg for them. He simply proclaims them. I advice you get my book, titled, “Prophetic Prayer for Claiming your Covenant Rights”. It will help you to prayer your way into God’s promises for your life!
God is honored when you put on this confidence. There are thousands of promises that are yours, written in the Bible. You must not only believe them, but you must also declare them in prayer. Speaking the Word over your situation is a God given strategy to overcome. Jesus’ respond to satanic temptation in the wilderness of trials were, “It’s written…” Situations and circumstances are bound to bow at the written Words of God when they are spoken in faith
.
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (Mark 11:22-24). You shall have them! That is superb. Even the challenges that pose themselves as mountains will obey you. I train believers to pray more prophetically because everything that you need is already given, just declare it.
