Keys to Answered Prayers

Good morning beloved

I asked the Lord recently to cause me to pray long long prayers

God answered - "My daughter, your whole heart belongs to me and while many are praying these long prayers that are getting no where, you are doing your assignment of caring and sharing"

My answer was simply

Amen

There is a time for lenghthy prayers but the most effective prayers are those that God leads and those simple prayers from the heart.

Mary prayed Lord let it be unto me according to your word and this was one of the most effective prayers. This should be the foundation of our prayers, as well as - Not my will but thine be done. Let God's perfect (not permissive) will be done and his Kingdom come.

Amen

Just listen to God more than you talk at him

Allow the Holy Spirit to unctionize our prayers

EFFECTIVE PRAYERS ARE SIMPLY FERVENT PRAYERS PRAYED CONNECTED TO GOD’S HEART.

Think carefully on this before we ask he knows our every need

Matthew 67 “And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 So do not be like them [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Let's stop and evaluate our praying track record - Are our prayers really being led of the Lord, honestly if they were, we would have many answered prayers. Here are other scripture verses to consider:

James 4:2 -3

2 You are jealous and covet [what others have] and [b]your lust goes unfulfilled; so you [c]murder. You are envious and cannot obtain [the object of your envy]; so you fight and battle. You do not have because you do not ask [it of God]. 3 You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask [d]with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires

May we adjust our prayer language today to be a love language unto God. "Breathing" in sync with his Spirit. "Breathe" in his power and his love and then instead of spending time just asking for things, we "breathe" out the words alligned to God’s will be done and his Kingdom come - that is truly a life style of Worship. The set-apart life lived for the furtherance of God's Kingdom.

Amen

I pray God would empower you today to pray and intercede. Do you not know that your prayers can make such a difference in not only lives but nations? The effective fervent Prayers of a righteous man avails (benefits) much.

God release mantles of Intercession upon us. May he give us such a zeal to pray and pray and pray (pray without ceasing).

Thank you Abbah Father for stirring all reading this message into deep prayer and Intercession not just once or a few times daily but to be abiding in your presence and flowing from that place connected to your heart - so that the Kingdom will come and his will be done

Amen

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
