The Importance of Praying the Word of God

 The Power of Praying The Word of God During Prayer

Remember, Jesus is the Word of God

The believer needs to see the importance of the Word of God in the life of a believer. There is so much power in praying God's Word. During Prayer so, start believing in the power of prayer.  God's Word of God is powerful, and the enemy hates it when you pray God's Word during Prayer. Your prayers cause the enemy to scatter through God's Word. The power in prayer verse below:

John 1:1, 4-5 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." 

Jesus is the Word. If He is the Word, how can the enemy stay? The Word is like a two-edged sword that cuts.

Hebrews 4:12-15 King James Version (KJV)

¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Learn Pulling Down Strongholds

Breaking Strongholds by Pulling Down Strongholds

How to Overcome Demonic Strongholds - Habitual Sin

Pulling down strongholds is recognizing negative thoughts and lies you believe in and the habitual sin that has the believer in captivity.  Once you realize it, repent, cast it down, and renew your mind by replacing the negative thought (the lie) with the Word of God. This is continuing the mind. When it comes to habitual sin when tempted. A believer must not entertain the thought but change their thoughts by casting down strongholds or casting down vain imaginations (entertaining the thought). 

The more a believer entertains the thought, the stronger the desire becomes to act out on the sin. 

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says:

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience to God.

It all starts with a thought. Fear, Images, Wrong thinking or belief

Stronghhold is anything that controls you. It is fortified like a wall to hold you in bondage or prison

Isaiah 25:12

The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

2 Corinthians 10:5 5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Spirit of fear

Psalm 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

Ephesians 6:13

Therefore, take up the full armor of God so that you will be able to resist in the evil day and, having done everything, stand firm.

If you recognize it immediately, the thought, the image, or feelings of anxiety, you cast it down and don't agree with it.

You cast it down. 1 Corinthians 10:5

Pornography, Stinkin thinking such as rejection, believing you are rejected by God or God holding back or you are not good enough, or Anxiety because agreeing with fear are sin issues.

Experienced Life Disappointments?

Have you ever Experienced Life Disappointments?

Life is Full of Disappointments

God is faithful in Our Disappointments

Disappointment is an unavoidable aspect of life in this sin-riddled world. Disappointment comes in many forms:

Longed for healing, for a job, for a baby, or for a wife. Divorce, prodigal children, lost opportunities; you have faithfully and earnestly prayed for weeks, months, and even years. But you are still sick, still unemployed, still childless, or still single.

Or married to a spouse that is not saved. Maybe he is not very nice and is waiting for him to change, but he seems not to.

Do you feel disappointed? Maybe you are disappointed in God since you've been praying and fasting? Are you disappointed in God? Have doubt that God cares or is hearing your prayer?

Can you relate to some type of disappointment in your life? Your life is not going as you wanted, and you feel frustrated? How much longer?

You Lack No Good Thing

One promise that’s helped me over the years is Psalm 34:10, “The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” This promise is for those who seek the Lord — those who are saved by faith in Christ and seeking to know him more.

“Those who seek God will lack no good thing. If something is good, God will give it to you.

God promises that those who seek him will lack no good thing. This means that if something is good, God will give it to you.

Now that’s hard to swallow. After all, you are still sick, unemployed, childless, or single.

So, how is God fulfilling his promise to you?

The Greatest Good

What helped me understand this was to ask: What is the greatest good?

David says, I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” (Psalm 16:2). And Asaph, Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. (Psalm 73:25). And Paul, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. (Philippians 3:8)

So the greatest good is God himself — knowing God in the person of Jesus Christ.

So what does God mean when he promises we will lack no good thing?

That’s what Paul experienced with his thorn in the flesh, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

So, when God promises that we will lack no good thing, he means we will lack nothing that would bring us more of God. We will have absolutely everything that will bring us more of God. So if you lack healing, a job, children, or a wife, you are not lacking any good thing because God has ordained your lack to bring you more of himself.

Why Am I Disappointed?

When I feel disappointed by God, it’s because at that moment there’s something I’m longing for more than him, whether it be healing, employment, a child, a wife. As good as healing, employment, children, and marriage might be, none of them will come close to satisfying me as much as God himself.

So when I’m disappointed by God, there’s a problem with my faith. I’m not trusting that God is who he says he is for me in Jesus. I do not trust him as my all-satisfying treasure.

So what can I do? Here are eight steps I have found helpful in dealing with disappointment.

Come to Jesus Christ with your disappointment, trusting him to meet you and change your heart (Psalm 40:1–3).

Confess that you are longing for something else more than him. Ask him to forgive you through the cross. Receive assurance of complete forgiveness (1 John 1:9).

Please ask the work of the Spirit to change your heart, strengthen your faith, and enable you once again to experience Jesus Christ as your all-satisfying treasure (John 6:35).

Since the Spirit works through the word, find Scriptures describing God’s love, power, majesty, and promises concerning God as your all-satisfying treasure. Pray earnestly over these Scriptures. Fight to trust them (Galatians 3:5).

Continue praying over and trusting these Scriptures until you feel the Spirit changing your heart, and you once again experience Jesus Christ as your all-satisfying treasure (1 Peter 1:8).

Pray over God’s promise that he will ordain every trial to bring you even more heart-satisfaction in him (2 Corinthians 4:17). Do this until the Spirit strengthens your faith that whatever you lack will bring you even more of God.

Also, pray over God’s promise that he will take care of everything else you need (health, work, money) in such a way that it will bring you even more of him (Philippians 4:13, 19; Matthew 6:33).

Continue to pray for the other things you desire (healing, employment, children, marriage), but fight to keep trusting in Jesus as your all-satisfying tre

Allah vs. God

Learn about Allah vs. God 

You May Be Surprised in Who is Allah in the Bible

You will learn from the video that he is not a god of love. For example, is Allah the God of Abraham? It comes down to who Allah is in the Bible.

Showing truth in the times we are living in. The Bible vs. the Quran Debate. God's Love vs. Allah's Love for All. Pray for the Muslim people – 1.6 billion that are deceived by the Quran and Allah along with Muhammad. 

As you will see, this is proof that Allah does not have a love for the nonbeliever. If my Lord loves all creation, and we know Satan came to kill, steal, and destroy John 10:10, could we say Allah is Satan? 

Watch the video, or you can scroll down and read the article. Click on image to start the video. 

Some Muslims are hung up on the Trinity – it is a triune god Christians worship. John 10:30 - I and my Father are one

1 Corinthians 8:6 - To us, there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we are by him.

We have a body with legs, arms, and a head, but we have one body. The same is true of God the Father, god the Son, and god the holy spirit – triune godhead.

“And no marvel, Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Learn how Muhammad is a false prophet visited by a false angel, not a gabrial, probably Satan himself. 

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. God knew that before man, a man named Mohammad would come to deceive many. Even Allah says he is the great deceiver.

Jesus (God in one – -triune God) said, 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.

I want to compare the Lord’s love vs. The Quran. Why would the Lord go from such great love to hatred of non-believers? To what to kill them? It does not make sense. When there is no love, there is torment.

God is love for us

Bible scriptures of God's Love for His Creation

1 John 4:8 - He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:19 - We love him, because he first loved us.

Quran – Conditions of Allah’s love for you
