A powerful prayer manifests the power of God the Creator and brings down boundless blessings!
Anyone can receive answers and blessings through a powerful prayer.
Here are the two important keys to experiencing the power of prayer.
Part 1: You should realize how amazing the power of prayer is, and offer up fiery prayer that brings down answers of God
In the Book of Esther, Jews were placed in danger of being destroyed resulting from conspiracy. The queen Esther of Persia fasted for three days to save her people Jews and went in to see the king with a resolution saying, "If I perish, I perish."
Even a queen was able to go in to the king only when she was summoned by the king. If she went before the king without his summon, she might be put to death. However, Esther believed in God who could move the heart of the king and offered up prayer with love for her people. Her faith and love were enough to move the heart of God.
As a result, Jews miraculously escaped from the destruction. As seen in her case, the kind of prayer God accepts has great power to change the human history, and to save or destroy a nation.
Just as Elijah prayed when he brought down fire from heaven, you should pray with an earnest heart and firm faith in God to accomplish the kingdom of God.
If you pray but doubt, disobey, break peace, and pass judgment and condemnation, your prayer cannot be offered up as beautiful aroma before God. You also should pray with firm faith not being double-minded and not being driven or tossed. Only then can you receive answers (James 1:6-8). It is because the effective prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. A man who has spiritual faith, who can make sacrifice without seeking his own benefit, can accomplish much (James 5:16).
Moses relied on God and saw everything with faith in any kind of situations. He was humbler than any other man on the face of the earth, and he loved the Israelites even to the extent that he could put his life at risk for them. God knew his faith and love, so He gave him the power and gave him the answers to his prayer.
Therefore, to receive the answer to your prayer, you should not pray pointlessly or aimlessly into the air. You should offer up the prayer of strength. This fiery prayer bringing down the power of God can lead to a victory in the spiritual warfare just as written "The-LORD-Is-My-Banner".
Part 2: Only when you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and receive His guidance through prayer, can you achieve the will of God quickly and completely
King David asked God about everything in every matter. This indicates that he believed God completely and relied on Him. He prayed first when something happened, and tried to figure out what the will of God was no matter how small it seemed. He even obeyed His will when it might cause difficulties to him. He did not use any human way to become a king, and just believed that everything would go along with the will and providence of God. That way he could commit everything to God.
In many cases the will of God is different from men's thoughts. When King David had peace in his nation and stayed comfortably in the palace, he earnestly hoped to build the temple of God. However, God said he had shed much blood and had waged great wars so he would not build a house to His name but it would be his son who would build it (1 Chronicles 22).
If King David had followed the goodness of man and tried to build the temple, it would not have gone well and he would not have been praised by God. However, he first prayed, so he realized that it was not the will of God for him to build it. Instead of building it he made ample preparations for the construction before his death. God accepted the heart of David and blessed him greatly promising everlasting blessing (2 Samuel 7).
Even today, it is very important to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and receive His guidance through prayers in order to completely accomplish the will and providence of God. God does not hear the sound of prayer itself, but He searches for the person's heart and accepts his heart.
Thus, you should not pray in meaningless repetition saying the same things habitually every day, nor should you feel coerced to pray or pray self-consciously. You should pray with love for God and with earnestness to extend the kingdom of God. Then you can realize the will of God and offer up prayer acceptable to God.
This kind of prayer opens the heavenly gate and brings down answers and blessings. It can even move the throne of God. It is so powerful that Satan fears it. Through such prayer, countless works that men cannot manifest can take place. In other words, the power is in prayer that moves the heart of God the Creator.
Although two people may pray for the same amount of time, the fragrance of the prayer differs according to their faith and the extent they have become sanctified. It will also depend on how fervently they pray. When you ask something difficult and great, you should fill up more prayer, so it takes more time to receive answers to the prayer.
If one loves God, has faith, and is after God's heart in everything including deeds and faithfulness, his soul will prosper soon, and he can fill up the amount of prayer necessary more quickly.
Therefore, let's offer up a powerful prayer to God every day, receive answers quickly, and glorify God whatever we do (Psalm 2:8, 91:14-15).
