Serious. Specific. Strategic.
As you all know, God has been heavy on my heart in the area of prayer and intercession. We’ve talked about praying God’s Word and journaling our prayers. We've talked about spending time with God daily. Together, in February 2015 we did “A Call To Prayer” and last, but certainly not least we studied countless people who prayed and asked, “Lord, teach us to PRAY.” But friend, I don't know about you, but I’m still stirred, still motivated, and still challenged to PRAY. And “War Room” encouraged me even more to do so. Although, I most definitely recommend this movie, this post is not so much about the movie, but about the message of it. What message? Two words: Strategic Prayer.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray
- "Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer (life), being (both) alert and intent in (your praying) with thanksgiving" (Colossians 4:2)
- "....be constant in prayer" (Romans 12:12)
- "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
- .......and last, but certainly not least, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6).

Journaling Your Prayers
A minister once said, "The enemy hates it when we pray. Because when we pray, we get a word from the Lord, and a word from the Lord is a weapon." Friend, PRAYER is so vital in the life of a blood bought believer! It is the greatest weapon that we have! The Word tells us to pray without ceasing. Why? Because prayerless lives are powerless lives, while PRAYERFUL lives are POWERFUL lives! Every day I STILL sit in His presence (without writing anything), praying/talking with Him! But as I stated before, this "method" has truly set my prayer life on fire and if led, I pray that you will create one too!

Praying God's Word
During my quiet time with the Lord a couple of weeks ago God challenged me to only pray His Word. Often times we pray out of our emotions and feelings and not based on the Word of God. Don't get me wrong, God understands our hurts, disappointments, and pain, and tells us to cast all of our cares onto Him (1 Peter 5:7), and to call on Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver us (Psalm 50:15 NIV). But as blood bought believers we must always, always be mindful of the Word of God and it's power. Joshua 1:8 says for us to keep the Word of God on our lips.....meaning to speak the Word only. This means we don't speak the problem, we speak the solution. We don't speak the mountain, we speak TO THE mountain and command it to be cast into the sea (Mark 11:23). Joshua 1:8 then says for us to meditate on the Word day and night......not to meditate on the problem, on the situation, on the trial, or on that "particular person" lol......but on the Word of God!

Prayer
Recently I’ve been studying about prayer. I believe that prayer is a very important thing when it comes to the life of a blood bought believer. I also believe that effective prayer will destroy the devil's kingdom of darkness and release the ability of God in the earth! I also believe that prayer is a key to heaven's storehouse, but FAITH unlocks the door. What I have learned is that a prayer without faith is like a key without a hand to turn it! Hebrews 11:6 tells us what pleases God.......and that is FAITH!

Daily Confession of Faith
In Christ I am anointed and a powerful person of God. I am a joint-heir with Jesus and more than a conqueror. I am a doer of the Word of God and a channel of His blessings. If God be for me, who can be against me? I am blessed coming in and I am blessed going out. My enemies are fleeing before me. God has commanded His blessing on my storehouses.

Daily Confession: I am Walking in Victory
I am victorious in life. I am more than a conqueror. I am a world overcomer. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. My faith is the victory that overcomes the world. The favor of God surrounds me like a shield. I have favor in the sight of all men. God goes before me making the crooked places straight and opening doors that no man can shut.
