Faith, Hope and Encouraging Word By Jeanne Theriault

A Call To Prayer   By Jeanne Theriault

The Prophet Jeremiah wrote Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3)

The principle behind this promise from God  is reaffirmed in James 4:8 Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you

God always respond to believing prayers. Praying the word  is effectual and it avails much in the believers life because it builds faith in your heart. It activates God supernatural power to meet our needs   (James 5:16)

TEN STEPS TO PRAYER

 

1 Become still  Stillness brings you to a place of peace and the knowing with expectation that God hears and  will answer for he is faithful

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know I am God

 

2 Give adoration Worship God, He is Your creator your Savior your all in all

Psalm 16:1 I love the Lord for he heard my voice, he heard my cry for mercy , because he turned his ear to me , I will call on him as long as I live.

Psalm 5:7 But I, your great mercy, will come into your house in reverence  will I bow down toward your holy temple.

 

3 Make a confession  of faith,  Agree with what his word says about you and what he can do for you

1 John 1:9 If we confess  our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

 

4  Give  Him thanks  by giving a sacrifice of praise for all that he has done

Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus therefore let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise the fruit of the lips that confess his name .

5 Make supplication  Agree with God in prayer to fulfill his will. Which means to be persistence not giving up (1 Samuel 1-28) Hannah was a women that was persistence she cried out to the Lord for a child  and God had favor on  her because of her persistence and He gave her a son.

6 Be specific when making a petition to God if you need a healing, if you want peace whatever the need maybe

1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching  God that is we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him .

 

7 Secure the promise  When you petition  the Lord take and believe God promise

2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made  they are yes in Christ and so through him the Amen is spoken  by us to the glory of God

 

8 Believe After you petition your request you need to believe  asking in itself does not cause you to receive

Mark 11:22 Have faith in God Jesus answered I tell you the truth if anyone says to this mountain go throw yourself into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. It will be done for him. Therefore I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

 

9 Give Him Thanks  Thanksgiving  expresses your appreciation for God’s forgiveness and mercy and is the highest form of faith. Cause you are thanking God for what you yet don’t see because you believe it is all  already done

James 1:6 But when you ask he  must believe and  not doubt , because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord

10  Live in Hope and  expectation 

Psalm 39:7 But now Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you

Psalm 62:5-7  Find rest, O my soul in God alone, my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation he is my fortress , I will not be shaken.

 

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us.
