Your Authority to Pray The Authority to Pray
Authority: The power to determine, adjudicate or otherwise settle issues or disputes.
Statement one: You must pray in the same manner that Jesus gave the disciples. Forget the lie that says “just say whatever you want, God will hear you”. No He will not.
Scripture: Matthew 18:18-20; Mark 11:23-26 and Heb 4:12 Step 1:
I have to deal with me first. The number one prayer blockers are unresolved issues, past hurt, inner desires, selfish ambitions, pride and it’s all about me are just to name a few. If we do not deal with these issues first ,God is not listening.
Isaiah 1:14-15 tells us that first of all God is tired of seeing us in church with our hands raised offering praises to Him, yet we live in consistent sin. He tells us although we offer Him many prayers, He does not hear us.
Are you wondering why you have no authority or power when you pray?
Well, maybe it’s your lifestyle.
Or maybe you have been chosen to be sifted like wheat. Remember Job did no wrong, He was chosen. So, first things first do your homework on your very own person.
Jesus told us, greater works will we do.
