How to Pray Prayers that Avail Much
How to Pray Prayers
That Avail much
The prayers in this book are to be used by you for yourself
and for others. They are a matter of the heart. Deliberately pray
and meditate on each prayer. Allow the Holy Spirit to make the
Word a reality in your heart. Your spirit will become alive to God’s
Word, and you will begin to think like God thinks and talk like
He talks. You will find yourself poring over His Word, hungering
for more and more. The Father rewards those who diligently seek
Him (Heb. 11:6).
Research and contemplate the spiritual significance of each
verse listed with the prayers. These are by no means the only
Scriptures on certain subjects, but they are a beginning.
These prayers are a guide for you to have a more intimate
relationship with your Heavenly Father. The study of His Word
transforms your mind and lifestyle. Then others will know that it
is possible to change, and you will give hope to those who come to
you seeking advice.When you admonish someone with the Word,
you are offering spiritual guidance and consolation.
Walk in God’s counsel, and prize His wisdom (Ps. 1; Prov.
4:7,8). People are looking for something on which they can
depend.When someone in need comes to you, you can point him
to that portion in God’s Word that is the answer to his problem.
You become victorious, trustworthy, and the one with the answer,
for your heart is fixed and established on His Word (Ps. 112).
Once you begin delving into God’s Word, you must commit
to ordering your conversation aright (Ps. 50:23). That is being a
xii
doer of the Word. Faith always has a good report. You cannot pray
effectively for yourself, for someone else, or about something and
then talk negatively about the matter (Matt. 12:34-37). This is
being double minded, and a double-minded man receives nothing
from God ( James 1:6-8).
In Ephesians 4:29, 30 AMP it is written:
Let no foul or poll u ting language, nor evil word , nor
unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth;
but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual
progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that
it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who
hear it.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, (do not offend,
or vex, or sadden Him) by Whom you were sealed (marked,
branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption — of
final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences
of sin.
Reflect on these words and give them time to keep your
perspective in line with God’s will. Our Father has much, so very
much, to say about that little member, the tongue ( James 3). Give
the devil no opportunity by getting into worry, unforgiveness,
strife, and criticism. Put a stop to idle and foolish talking (Eph.
4:27; 5:4). You are to be a blessing to others (Gal. 6:10).
Talk the answer, not the problem. The answer is in God’s Word.
You must have knowledge of that Word — revelation knowledge
(1 Cor. 2:7-16). The Holy Spirit, your Teacher, will reveal the
things that have been freely given to us by God ( John 14:26).
As an intercessor, unite with others in prayer. United prayer
is a mighty weapon that the Body of Christ is to use.
Have the faith of God, and approach Him confidently.
When you pray according to His will, He hears you. Then you
know you have what you ask of Him (1 John 5:14,15 NIV). “Do
not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” (Heb.
10:35 NIV). Allow your spirit to pray by the Holy Spirit. Praise
God for the victory now before any manifestation. Walk by faith
and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7).
When your faith comes under pre s s u re, d on’t be moved. As
Satan attempts to challenge yo u , resist him steadfastly in the
faith — letting patience have her perfect work ( James 1:4).Take
the Sw o rd of the Spirit and the shield of faith and quench his
eve ry fiery dart (Eph. 6: 16,17). The entire substitution a ry work
of Christ was for you. Satan is now a defeated foe because Jesus
con q u e red him (Col. 2: 14,15). Satan is ove rc ome by the blood
of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (Rev. 12: 11). “Fight
the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6: 12). Withstand the adversary
and be firm in faith against his onset — ro o t e d , established,
stron g, and determined (1 Pet. 5: 9). Speak God’s Wo rd boldly
and courageously.
Your desire should be to please and to bless the Father. As
you pray according to His Word, He joyfully hears that you — His
child — are living and walking in the truth (3 John 4).
How exciting to know that the prayers of the saints are
forever in the throne room (Rev. 5:8). Hallelujah!
Praise God for His Word and the limitlessness of prayer in
the name of Jesus. It belongs to every child of God. Therefore, run
with patience the race that is set before you, looking unto Jesus,
the Author and Finisher of your faith (Heb. 12:1,2). God’s Word
is able to build you up and give you your rightful inheritance
among all God’s set-apart ones (Acts 20:32).
Commit yourself to pray, and to pray correctly, by approaching the
throne with your mouth filled with His Word!
