Power of Prevailing Prayer, Pt. 2: Benny Hinn

way for the soon return of our lord jesus christ but how do we tap into that awesome power how do we pray more effectively with more intensity with greater results in this anointed series you'll learn how to intensify the power of god how to obtain the results of prevailing prayer the importance of the three worlds of prayer and the 23 revelations found in the model prayer jesus taught his [Music] disciples go with me to matthew chapter 7 please i'll deal this morning with the three worlds of prayer now before we begin let's pray father god your word declares that you are the god who hears and answers prayer so we ask today be our teacher lord without your anointing we cannot receive nor remember what we hear so today i pray holy spirit be our divine instructor teach us today imparting to us your holy word sowing it deep in our soul for jesus sake i pray i may produce a mighty harvest of blessing in us and through us in the name of jesus thank you for the privilege you've given us to serve you thank you for the honor you've given us a million thanks amen matthew 7 verse 7 and verse 8 ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you for everyone that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened the three worlds of prayer first the world that deals with the known the things we know that's what the lord meant by ask ask meaning that you pray in the known world you pray concerning things you know about you're aware of seek deals with the unknown world the world that is beyond your mind in other words the world that you are not acquainted with you're seeking it you're seeking to enter into a whole different realm of prayer and then the knocking world where he said knock i believe this type of world is completely heavenly and divine let me describe it like this if you look up at me a minute let's take this part of the platform as the asking world and the place where the pulpit is as the seeking world and the part where the chair is as the knocking world the world of the spirit because knocking deals with the spiritual realm and i'll explain that here in this world you come to god in prayer and you know what you're going to say because you have troubles you know about you have requests you're aware of things that are that are burdening your heart so you come and say lord would you please take care of this thing with my son this thing with my family this thing with my finances but this this asking world is the natural world and and it and it begins in the flesh in other words you begin this prayer season and prayer time knowing what you're going to say going through your prayer list if i can say it like that but then there comes a time that list is complete sometimes you feel like repeating the same thing and and at times you repeat it too often till till you think god is not listening to you and there's there's almost a a thing where sometimes you are driven by by the pressure that's on you or you are you think well now maybe god didn't hear me this time i'll just do it all over again and in this world is where the war exists right here things attack your mind and your sometimes you pray and and you're tired and you yawn and you fall asleep and and you get hungry and you want to go back for a sandwich maybe you think you'd feel better and you come back and pray again it's a struggle but now you enter into this second realm where there's a breakthrough where you actually feel something broke in your heart and suddenly you are no longer just repeating something you know about mentally now the heart begins to cry for god's presence there is a searching for the lord so when jesus said seek he was asking you and i to seek god did david say david said i long for thee as in a thirsty land i'm seeking you lord as i seek water in the desert that's the seeking world and that ladies and gentlemen is the next step of prayer in fact you cannot enter through that you cannot enter into that world till you've completed the first world nobody can can can just jump right into the seeking world you have to go through the asking world first because you have to be released of your burden you have to if i must say empty yourself of what has burdened you what you've been burdened with but then there comes that breakthrough and if you and if you stay long enough on your knees or long enough in that prayer closet there there will come the time and the moment where you'll feel that breakthrough you'll feel that release in your heart the moment you feel that release suddenly the holy spirit takes over and now you're no longer praying about things you know about you'll start praying things you're not even aware of till that thing happens the holy spirit begins to impart to you what to pray about that's called the seeking world and many here have experienced that i know that it's where god takes over and now your words become specific and powerful and wealthy it's no longer you know where your mind wanders and you're tired and all this no now you become sharp focused strong everything is just right that's the seeking world but now if you stay long enough in that seeking world which may i say erupts in praise you know you're there not only because you're focused and your words are wealthy and just right but there are sprays involved in that world suddenly you're thanking him that he's heard you and thanking him is he's an answer prayer it's an abundant world it's a blessed world it's a world that is not that that lacks the struggle and is full of the victory and now you you come to a place where praise leads you into incredible intimacy with god and intimacy with god what words become inadequate is called the knocking world you think the knocking world is where you're screaming oh god where are you no that's that's not the knocking world the knocking world deals with with the spirit in fact it's it's a time when god is so real to you it's deep calling on too deep you touch him in that world and he touches you now there is communion divine communion that erupts in your heart in fact the knocking world is so powerful it does not require audibly uh it does not it does not require audible words it is deeper than words it's deeper than the soul it's deeper than anything you can produce in the flesh it's glory absolute glory now tears become your language and the and the and the flow of the spirit in your heart your spirit man in other words the flow of your spirit man becomes the language god is listening to do you understand that yeah now it's deep calling onto deep spirit to spirit communion erupts with the holy ghost i believe that's what jesus meant when he said in john i in them they in me that they may be made perfect in one there's there comes a unity that is absolutely divine you cannot separate the lord from the person at that point there can be no separation now over here in the asking world demons can attack you demons easily attack you in the asking world because that's the world of the flesh that's the outer court the tabernacle of moses is an is is a is a is an absolute perfect um description of this world of prayer now think about the tabernacle of moses it was surrounded by a tent uh sorry a fence and within that fence was a tent the tent had two departments as you pass this gate which has the four colors symbolic of christ in his four offices and the four gospels represent these four colors you come to here to a an altar of sacrifice which represents the blood of christ and the cross the work of the cross then you pass and you come to what's called the laver which was like a big cup and saucer made up of brass they filled it with water and the priests washed their hands and feet before they went into the holy place to serve god now as you come to the holy place here the first department of this tent you have to come through what is what is called the door door was held up by five pillars and the five pillars are symbolic of the five offices of the church as you came in there was a lamp stand right here there was a table of bread called the show bread right here with 12 loaves symbolic of the 12 tribes of israel and here there was a table of incense beyond the table of incense stood the veil a thick curtain right here and the priest once a year only went through that veil where stood the ark of the covenant the ark of the covenant the cover of it looked like a crown and with two angels cherubs here and there on each side the wings touched each other covering what is called the mercy seat right here which actually is the cover itself surrounded by what looked like a crown now we have here the three worlds of prayer the first world the world of the mind and the flesh which needs the blood and the word to be effective the world we talk about the asking world must have the blood of christ and the word to be effective you cannot pray into that you can't pray with victory in this asking world without asking god to cleanse you with his blood and using his word in that prayer father your word says are you with me now now you enter into the the seeking world where god is sought what do we seek in that seeking world we seek number one his light and illumination we seek his satisfaction and we seek his presence worship three things happen in the seeking world where we seek god we we we seek his revelation that's the lamb stand we seek his satisfaction that's the bread we seek his presence that's the worship the incense that's what what happens in the seeking world because here you've given god your requests let your requests be made known unto god and then the peace of god that passes all understanding will fill your hearts and minds ladies and gentlemen in that statement of paul the apostle in philippians are the three worlds of prayer number one let your requests be made known that's the asking world the outer court then the peace of god shall fill your hearts and mind the original says your minds and hearts in other words your mind which is your soul here and your spirit which is your heart here that's the three worlds of prayer let me repeat that he says let your request make your request known to god be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and subligation let your requests be made known that's the asking world which demands the blood and the word to be effective in other words you cannot approach god till the blood has cleansed you nor can you pray till you say father god i pray according to your will you said in your word because you're you are still praying in that in in that asking asking world or as we call it the realm of the flesh then you enter into the seeking world where the soul comes alive by the way this is symbolic of the soul here body soul spirit the three worlds the world of the soul again the soul has within it the need for revelation satisfaction and the presence of of the lord in in romans uh paul the apostle declared very clearly be not confirmed this is romans 12 be not conformed to this world be transformed by the renewing of your mind you renew your mind as you keep the wick which is the mind clean so the light can shine see what happened in the old covenant they would they would the priests would come in here and would clean the wick on the candlestick so the the that that that light shined continually with that symbolic of the mind the wick being the mind and when it's clean and pure the light shines out of you but the bread speaks of the satisfaction to the soul he'll satisfy your soul the bible says that's where peace enters into your soul israel and now the presence of god enters into your soul israel what is the soul the soul is what i think what i feel what i want that's your soul what i think what i feel and what i want is my soul now the peace of god begins to saturate all these areas in your soul and prayer becomes effective in the soulish realm as you seek his revelation knowledge as you seek his satisfaction and his presence suddenly your soul becomes embraced by god becomes overwhelmed with his presence for remember you are a spirit you have a soul and you live in a body say i am a spirit but you are a spirit and your spirit man is not a ball floating in your tummy your spirit is a full form it has shape it has a face it has eyes it has a mouth it has arms it has a body it has legs you or your body is a picture of the real you within so if when the body dies you walk out of that body with legs walking with arms a spirit is not shapeless angels are spirits yet they look like young men why they have faces and necks and bodies and arms and shoulders and legs that's a spiritual is is spirit isn't just some smoke rising someone a spirit is a real person not a real body a person over that person is a soul the soul is what you think what you feel what you are what what you want excuse me what you are is the spirit but what you think feel and want is your soul now the body is simply the shell that people see so you are a spirit walking inside a shell that obeys your command and true prayer is the prayer of the spirit but you have to enter in through the outer court of flesh through the soul and then into the realm of god so frankly if i can say it like this you will not move heaven till you move into the inner holy of holies please hear this again heaven is not moved by your prayer till you're in the third realm and often you you give up after the first because you you think god heard you when you said lord here's my prayer list bye no you've got to finish this and break through the second realm where you're seeking god's presence and his peace and satisfaction and then break through the third where there is spirit to spirit deep to deep one-on-one communion are you listening now in that third round there's no prayer list because now it's not your requests it's his it's his requests there it's not your voice it's his voice that's being heard please hear this he hears your voice in the outer court but you hear his voice in the holy of holies that's what he talks to you he said to moses that i might commune with thee in exodus we forget that true prayer is god speaking to us not us talking to god look at exodus 25 verse 22. exodus 25 22 in that third realm god says and there i will meet with thee and i will commune with thee from above the mercy seat exodus 25 22. there i will meet with you and i will commune with you with you it's not you meeting with me and talking to me it's i'm talking to you and how many want to hear the voice of god you bet how often you say oh god please talk to me oh god talk to me but you're in the outer realm you can't hear his voice there because his voice is only heard in the inner court say after me god does not speak in the outer court now so quit saying god talk to me please talk to me lord let my bible open to the right spot please he is not a fortune teller don't insult him now you pray and you seek i i should say you pray and you ask right right this is where you talk god isn't talking to you right here in fact you know who's who's talking to you here the devil that's where you hear his voice out here that's what you have to say no ignore it don't listen to him and he will tell you to quit praying because god isn't listening to you and it'll tell you all kinds of great stuff he'll bring up your your past bring up your sins and oh a whole lot of things here you have to put your body on the subjection that's where you do it right there now you enter into the realm of the soul where suddenly you feel a breakthrough you feel i said a breakthrough you feel bang something happens oh my god i'm in no you're not in yet all you've done is enter through the door but not beyond the veil now you're in the holy place not holy of holies and in the holy place now you seek god now suddenly something erupts out of you and say jesus i'm looking for you lord and now everything in you just comes alive how many have had that happen to you put your hands up high you're halfway in if you haven't had that happen to you you've had no prayer life at all all you've had is vain repetitions what did jesus say he said don't think god i'll give you a thing if you just keep keep repeating the same thing over and over and over wait long enough till that soul of yours is touched by the holy spirit that's what psalm 8 18 said quicken me and i'll call upon thy name all all you're looking for here is release but all you're looking for here is god did you hear that the asking world says get it off my shoulder the second world says come upon me holy spirit hallelujah now you seek him but then once you seek him that's where you draw an eye and that's where he'll draw an eye and you meet at the veil you you you meet as you enter in here and now as you enter in his presence takes over you work here you seek here and he touches here you work you seek and he moves in the holy of holies you do not work nor even seek all you do is let him touch you but that's called the knocking world because you've you you begin to knock at the veil you you begin to knock at this veil at his at this entrance as you begin to seek him how do you knock by crying out for god he's a knock looking where where's god which which door is he behind where is he and now as you knock he'll hear your voice and his presence begins to touch you next you know you walk through into that holy of holies when now he's talking to you exodus 25 22 for there i will meet with then i will commune with thee hallelujah now as you enter into this world of prayer you lose all how shall we say it's sense of time you you you time means nothing now over here you you look at the clock or you watch here in the in the asking world you're aware i've been here for half an hour or an hour in but once you enter into the solace realm you're kind of halfway in you're still aware of what's going on but you're in and out basically because you're you're entering into a brand new realm right now that takes over and suddenly as you're into that spirit realm nothing matters no more and out there you are hungry for for food now you're hungry for god after the devil talks you here god talks to you out there you are aware of self hear your word of god only and only god you're you're so aware of him he raptures you he envelops you overwhelms you and suddenly you think my god why didn't i do this earlier why did i wait so long and here he just richly gives you his blessings and his presence and every cell in your being starts to live now there's peace greater than anything the world knows beyond description and now here the storm is no longer there everything is calm over here you say if an earthquake hits i don't care peace that passeth all understanding now when you leave this world an amazing thing happens you carry it with you for a season you carry it with you first you come out of that world and the presence of it lingers on you and somebody meets you and says whoa something has happened there they they feel the presence of the god you've been talking to hallelujah you come out and your eyes look at in your whole behavior everything about you talks about jesus lord bring everyone here into that world in jesus name come on lift your hands and agree with me father say father in the name of jesus bring me into that world for your name's sake amen you like that whoa something has happened there they they feel the presence of the god you've been talking to hallelujah you come out and your eyes look at in your whole behavior everything about you talks about jesus lord bring everyone here into that world in jesus name come on lift your hands and agree with me father say father in the name of jesus bring me into that world for your name's sake amen you like that i pray the lord will bring you there by by this evening it doesn't take long believe me remember prayer is a time saver it saves time you pray and god almighty will intervene on your behalf and do things for you they'll save you a lot of time but now every time you pray like that you inhale god you inhale god you breathe him in and you exhale yourself so what is true prayer prayer exhales me and inhales god every time i pray i'm going out with me and in with the lord hallelujah and every time let me have a microphone there every time you go you're praying you're inhaling god now remember you're also exhaling yourself but god is doing this from heaven but remember god does all the time and if you don't do you'll never catch it he'll just pass by you god is always giving his spirit he's always imparting himself to us his presence is always coming at you or passing by you the lord knew that type of prayer and the power of it let me show you the the importance of prayer in the lord's life turn to luke 3 21 please look look at the things in the lord's life that happened because of prayer luke 3 21 oh i love the word luke 3 verse 21 the bible declares now when all the people were baptized it came to pass that jesus also being baptized and praying and what underline that and praying the heaven was opened and the holy ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him and a voice came from heaven which said thou art my beloved son in thee i am well pleased the lord was praying it was prayer that opened the heaven open the heavens it was prayer that brought the power of the holy spirit upon him it was prayer which caused them to hear the lord say the father say you are my son my beloved son indeed i am well pleased prayer his ministry began in prayer he knew the power of prayer he was being baptized and praying so the ministry of our lord our master began with prayer but look what else mark 1 35 says and in the morning rising up a great while before day he went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed he understood that the anointing that he had received in the river jordan would be maintained by prayer in luke 3 21 he prayed the heavens were opened he received the pot of god so prayer brought the anointing upon him as it will upon you and secondly the bible says the lord knew that through prayer that anointing he had received would remain upon his life would be maintained and in the morning rising up a great while before day and the lord knew the key to prevailing prayer not only did he do the right things spiritually he did the right things naturally by rising up early in the morning and not praying when he when when he was physically worn out and in the morning rising up a great while before day he went out and departed into a solitary place that's that closet of prayer we talked about earlier on wednesday night that's that right place you and i must find for prayer and there he prayed because remember what i said wednesday prayer requires the right place you can't pray unless you're in the right place moses the scripture says left the camp and went out of the camp into the tabernacle to pray god met him there you and i must have the right place if we want to see victory in our prayer life and the lord found the right place when he would go to the mountains into a place that was quiet where he could be quiet before god there's that cell phone again because no matter how powerful the anointing is on a life remember it is sustained by not only given but sustained by it and jesus knew that secret luke chapter 6 and i'm going to read verse 11 and 12. and they were filled with madness and communed one with another what they might do to jesus and it came to pass in those days that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to god it came to pass in those days that he went out into a mountain to pray but look at verse 11 and they were filled these are the pharisees filled with madness and communed one with another what they might do to him in other words they wanted to harm him and then when it was day he called unto him his disciples uh sorry verse 12 and it came to pass in those days that he he went out into a mountain and prayed went to pray and continued all night in prayer to god the first reason why he went into the mountain to pray ladies and gentlemen is because he knew prayer would keep him safe from the madness of the pharisees in fact it kept him safe from harm physical harm prayer kept the lord safe from the evil of the pharisees so that's the first reason we we read this in verse 12 but look at the second reason that he prayed that day verse 13 says and when it was day he called unto him his disciples and of them he chose twelve whom he also whom also he named apostles so now he prays all night comes in the daytime and called unto him his disciples and of them chose twelve whom he called or named apostles so prayer and only through prayer were his decisions made he made all decisions through prayer so the lord understood the part of prayer he knew prayer would bring the anointing upon him luke 3 21. he knew that he knew prayer would sustain the anointing on his life in mark chapter 1. he also knew that prayer would keep him safe from harm luke chapter 6 and now we find he also knew that all decisions must be made after prayer and not before luke again chapter 6 now turn with me to john 6 john the gospel of john verse 15 right through verse 21. john 6 verse 15 and i'm going to read right through verse 21. all right let's begin when jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force to make him a king he departed again into a mountain himself alone and when even was now come that is when evening was come his disciples went down unto the sea that's the sea of galilee and entered into a ship and went over the sea toward capone it was now dark and jesus was not come to them and the sea arose by a reason of a great wind that blew so when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty four lungs they see jesus walking on the sea and drawing nigh unto the ship and they were afraid but he saith unto them it is i be not afraid then they willingly received him into the ship now watch this and immediately the ship was at the land whether they went the ship was transported supernaturally from the midst of the sea to the shore and immediately let me read that again verse 21 then they willingly received him into the ship and immediately the ship was at the land whether they went because of prayer god saved not only the lord's life but the lives of the disciples by transporting the whole ship from the midst of the sea right to the shore verse 15 what did what did the lord do before that he prayed when jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force to make him a king he departed again into a mountain himself alone what was he doing then praying now after prayer he looks from the mountain looks down and he sees his disciples on on a boat and now the boat starts moving moving because of the force of the wind into halfway into the sea of galilee he and it says in verse 18 and the sea arose by a reason of a great wind a great win ladies and gentlemen it's a fact that often in the sea of galilee even today a wind would blow and be trapped between the mountains and become violent a great wind it says blew in and they were in fear for their life and jesus comes walking upon that storm gets in the ship and the ship and this is a whole different time than when he said peace be still that happened at another time this is a whole different story here where he came up on the boat and the boat was lifted right out of that storm right to the shore god himself saved the life of his son and the disciples but what was he doing before that he prayed prayer will get you out of danger as it did the lord one day and his disciples let's let's look at at three portions of scripture now i want to show you uh john 6 44 luke 9 18 and matthew 16 13 to 17 and this talks about peter and what happened to peter because of the lord's praying for him john 6 44 says no man can come to me except the father are you all in john 6 look at verse 44 please no man can come to me except the father which hath sent me draw him and i will raise him up at the last day so remember none can come to christ unless he's drawn by the holy spirit then look at 9 luke 9 18 please luke luke 9 verse 18 we're going to tie all those scriptures together john 6 says no man can come to christ without the father drawing him luke 9 verse 18 and it came to pass as he was alone praying he was doing what now he was doing what now his disciples were with him and he asked them saying whom say the people that i am now before he asked that question he was in prayer matthew 16 which we're going to look at in just a second doesn't say that he was in prayer luke does we have to put both together it's the same story with added information in luke luke says the lord was in prayer and after prayer he said who do men say i am whom do they say that i am now in matthew 16 you'll find out what he prayed about in matthew 16 you you'll see what he prayed about turn to matthew 16 please you all know the story you've read it but now you're gonna you're gonna see something a little more i hope you will anyways pray you will matthew 16 verse 13 right through 17. matthew 16 beginning at verse 13 when jesus came into the coasts of caesarea philippi now philippi is right nearly to the lebanese border north israel very very much into north israel when jesus came into the coast of caesarea philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do men say that i the son of man am now do you remember what luke said luke 9 8 8 18 says right before he asked that question he was doing what praying now they said and they said some say thou art john the baptist some elias and others jeremiah or one of the prophets he saith unto them but whom say ye that i am and simon peter answered and said thou art the christ the son of the living god and jesus answered and said unto him blessed art thou simon bart jonah or bayona in in hebrew for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven ladies and gentlemen i can tell you right now one of the of the things jesus prayed about in luke 9 18 he said father reveal me to my disciples that's what he was saying because when peter said you're the christ he says the father told you that and the reason the father told him that is because luke 9 18 says jesus prayed prayed about it so what did prayer do prayer revealed christ to peter hallelujah you see you have to put the scriptures together to get the answer in luke 19 18 he was praying in matthew 16 he said whom do men say i am you're the christ who do you say i am peter says you're the christ the son of god ah the father told you that and the father told you that peter because i asked him to basically what jesus was what the lord was really saying so what does prayer do prayer reveals christ to the hearts of men how many here want to see your loved one saved pray that god will reveal himself to their hearts because it was prayer that revealed christ to peter thank god not only did prayer reveal christ to peter it's set in motion god's plan for his life and the lives of the apostles and now luke 22 please now i'm i'm showing you the power of prayer in the life of christ himself if jesus took it that seriously how much more should we if he the son of god needed to pray we need to pray luke 22 verse 31 and 32 are you enjoying this teaching this morning i'm loving it too thank god and tonight the 23 revelations of the lord's prayer luke 22 31 and 32 the word of god declares this is luke 22 verse 31 and the lord said simon simon behold satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat but i have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not and when thou and when thou art converted strength and die brethren prayer strengthened sliding peter and kept him from satan's plan prayer strengthened sliding peter and kept him protected him from satan's plan remember prayer and only prayer can destroy the plans of hell against you every plan of hell can be destroyed if you pray nah now i'm i'm going to tell you something here it's really important you hear this you know you know who norvel hayes is my good friend norvel hayes came to our church many many years ago and and made a powerful statement he said uh he said sometimes god will will allow you to see a horrible dream that will frighten you sometimes god will allow you to see a vision that's from satan that you think is for is from god and it's going to happen to you he said the reason god lets you see that is in order that you might pray to prevent it not that it's going to come to pass but that you in prayer can prevent it he said the the reason god showed it to you was not so you might believe it's going to happen the reason god showed it to you is in order that you might stop it and that lines up with the bible because the book of proverbs declares that a wise man when he sees evil will hide himself but the foolish one will not hide himself and is punished when you when when you have a dream a an evil dream or a bad dream and you see something happening to your children or something happening to you or something happening to somebody you love don't just accept it pray against it for god showed it to you in order for you to stop it and if you do not stop it you're going to be punished with it it's it's going to come to pass prayer destroys the plans of hell against you and if you do not pray those plans will come to pass it's in your hands ladies and gentlemen i'm going to tell you right right now your life is in your hands your future is in your hands and you can direct the hand of god through prayer and crippled the hand of satan through prayer in jesus name you can do it how many of you have have ever had a horrible dream that scared and troubled you what did you do about it my friend don't take those dreams lightly and say well it's just a dream it's not a dream it's a word from god and a warning and and i'm telling you if you haven't prayed long enough to to feel the peace of god you better get back today and pray a little more because some of you prayed and said well it's it's done it's not done till you know it's done till your heart says all is well jesus said to peter he said satan wants to destroy but i've prayed for you and gave him the assurance it's it's it's going to be all right now lift your hands stretch him towards me as i'm stretching mind towards you i'm going to pray for you now and keep teaching just as just a little while longer father i agree with the people that every plan of satan against them is destroyed people agree with me right now let let let your faith come alive i agree lord with my partners that every plan of hell every plan of satan against them their children and home and future in the name of jesus is destroyed and i agree with the lord every plan of god is established in the name of jesus i agree with you partners i agree with you in jesus name my god i feel the anointing here i agree with you in jesus name that every plan of satan is destroyed against you and every plan of god is established for you in jesus name the people said seven times amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen yay glory to god let me tell

hallelujah [Applause] father anoint your word tonight to our hearts i pray in jesus mighty name and the people said now ladies and gentlemen the lord in his precious word begins to teach us how to pray now remember that prayer is a spirit he's called the spirit of prayer the holy spirit is the spirit of prayer so god anoints us to pray we cannot pray on our own strength we pray as we are quickened by the spirit now in this what is called the lord's prayer and it's really not the lord's prayer it's the disciples prayer in fact it's more of a pattern of prayer than anything else the lord's prayer is in john 17 but we call matthew 6 the lord's prayer in fact it isn't it's a pattern for the disciples prayer and in it are 23 revelations so as we look now verse 9 matthew 6 after this manner therefore prayed after this pattern in other words after this manner the lord said therefore pray our father first of all prayer is impossible without relationship our father you must have relationship without relationship prayer cannot be effective our father the second revelation in this is fellowship for in that wonderful statement we make in that revelation we say frankly for it is a revelation our father this fellowship but now please remember something and i'd like you if at all possible to take a pen and paper and write the 12 revelations of god's names real quickly you can do it the 12 revelations of god's name is of god's name in the word are number one elohim e-l-o-h-i-m that's genesis 1 1 and the meaning of that is creator you can't know the father till you know the creator is our creator before he becomes our father number two the second revelation of his name is jehovah g e h o v a h o j excuse me j e h o v h jehovah the word jehovah contains covenant in it covenant therefore he becomes our father genesis 2 7. and i'll talk more about this as we go on but let me just quickly finish here thirdly the third name in the scriptures is el shaddai h a d d a i that's genesis 17 verse one my supply my nourishment fourthly adonai a-d-o-n-a-i master genesis 18 3 5 jehovah gyra gyara again is spelled j e i r a genesis 22 14 it means two things in the hebrew provider it also means vision my vision the one i see my vision the hebrew word is i see or i see a vision so when abraham looked and saw the sacrifice he said i see jehovah's provision then jehovah rafee the sixth revolution of his name r o p h e r gila exodus 15 26. the seventh revelation of his name jehovah nissi nissi my victory my victory exodus 17 15. i'll go through this again quickly so you can you can jot them down if you have not jehovah nissi nissi my victory exodus 17 5. the eighth revelation of god's name jehovah mikadesh jehovah mikadesh m-i-k-k-a d-e-s-h m i k k a d e s h my sanctifier leviticus 20 verse seven and verse eight the ninth revelation of god's name d-s-i-d-k-e-n-o-u my righteousness the word sedek is righteousness tsitkenu my righteousness our righteousness jeremiah 23 verse 5 and 6. the 10th revelation of god's name jehovah shalom shalom is spelled l o s-h-a-l-o-m my piece judges 6 24 is the scripture for that judges 6 24. the 11th revelation of god's name jehovah rohit r-o-h-i my shepherd jehovah rohi r-o-h-i he's my shepherd psalm 23 1 is the scripture and finally the 12th revelation of god's name jehovah shama or shama meaning there s h a m a h jehovah the presence speaks of god's presence he's there his presence ezekiel 48 and verse 35. again let me repeat them number one elohim e-l-o-h-i-m creator genesis 1 1 second revelation of god's name is jehovah my father the name for jehovah is father genesis 2 7 my el shaddai my supply and nourishment genesis 17 1 my adonai a-d-o-n-a-i my master genesis 18 3 my jehovah jireh provider and vision provider and my vision genesis 22 14 my jehovah rafee my healer exodus 15 26 my jehovah nissi nissi my victory exodus 17 15 my jehovah mikadesh m-i-k-k-a-d-e-s-h my sanctification of sanctifier leviticus 20 seven and eight my jehovah sitkano my righteous one my righteousness that's jeremiah 23 5 and 6 my jehovah shalom my peace judges 6 verse 24 my jehovah my shepherd psalm 23 1 my jehovah shaman the presence ezekiel 48 35 so when we say our father all these revelations become a part of that one call upon the lord my father the second you say father you're saying you're my master you're my sir you're my my my supply you're my provider you're my hero you're my victory or my signification you're my righteousness peace shepherd you are the one i need in that revelation is relationship and fellowship our father now jesus is giving us a pattern of prayer and then he says which art in heaven ladies and gentlemen it is impossible to pray without knowing god's authority heaven speaks of god's authority our father i have a relationship i have fellowship i understand his authority you can't pray effectively without knowing the relationship the fellowship and the authority our father which art in heaven not only do we find authority but something else is seen here that's most remarkable dominion we know he is our master our authority his is the glory and the dominion you can't pray to a god in whom you you do not believe and believe that he is all powerful his is the dominion number five omnipotence heaven speaks of the all powerful god he is omnipotent if you can't read my my writing don't worry about it omnipotence the second jesus said which art in heaven he was saying recognize the fact he is omnipotent he is omniscient all knowing not only all-powerful we're all knowing prayer is impossible without knowing this and you enter into prayer and you must know this then there's no question there's no doubt that the god of heaven will answer prayer we must know him in relationship we must know him in fellowship fellowship his intimacy we must know his authority his dominion his omnipotence is omniscient all knowing how can you talk to a god and pray to a god unless you know that he knows all and knows everything nothing is hit from his sight following that the seventh revelation his dunamis power is revealed here our father which art in heaven the second jesus said in heaven he was giving us all this and a lot more and i'm giving you the headlines now why am i giving you authority and dominion how different are they much because in authority there are subjects all is subject unto his authority in dominion there is rule he rules all in omnipotence there is glory fills the earth like the waters covered cover the sea in omniscient in omniscience there is knowledge in power there's control he controls all even satan's actions the sovereignty of god is right here the second you say father my father which art in heaven you're saying i believe in your sovereignty nothing is hit from your sight nothing takes you by surprise hallelujah you immediately acknowledge who he is immediately acknowledge who he is you see the reason people often pray and question is because they don't know the lord they doubt whether god is listening they doubt if he's hearing don't you understand that he is omniscient in other words he knows your prayer before you think it so the question is why do i have to to pray since he knows it because prayer activates your faith to receive even though god knows you're going to pray you are releasing faith with your words prayer my dear brother and sister does one thing it releases your faith to receive the answer that's why you must pray god hears it yet he knew it before you ever spoke it but all it does to you and the greatest thing it does to you it releases you to receive it's like writing a letter you expect an answer faith is released faith is released his power hallelujah and the moment you say our father which art in heaven you also declare his glory and his glory are his attributes and i'm giving you a lot here i know that and i'm not taking the time to explain every one of them apart but i believe most of you understand i hope all of you understand you know what relationship is right relationship means you're related family fellowship means there's communion with god and no sin in between you both nothing blocking no sin between god and you nothing in your heart blocking his fellowship in your fellowship god's presence his authority means god almighty rules all god's dominion god's omnipotent god omnipotence god's omniscient all-knowing so when you enter prayer there's faith born already for you know that god knows already nothing is hit from him his power dunamis power and now his glory dealing with his attributes who he is all is in that one statement father in heaven wow a pattern of prayer what was jesus saying to us he was saying when you pray recognize god recognize his authority and dominion omnipotence omniscience power and glory and glory moses said show me your glory god revealed himself and walked by and said the lord the lord is the lord the lord is our father which art in heaven also speaks of worship or adoration because the second you speak of heaven you speak of worship you can't pray effectively without worship somebody say praise the lord our father which art in heaven and now hallowed be thy name this is most remarkable hallowed be thy name we enter into a an incredible celebration of praise when we state hallowed be thy name heaven i worship you your name i exalt and i praise now praise must be a part of prayer otherwise it's not effective notice that the the apostles and the prophets when they entered the the prayer closet what did they do first of all they recognized this all these revelations in one statement thou art god confession includes all this we confess who he is never pray like i told you on wednesday the seven worlds of prayer as i and i think i i call them seven revelations of prayer the first revelation remember was confession we confess who god is that's how the prophets prayed that's how the apostles prayed look at the prayer of peter in the book of acts father you said why did the heathen rage the people imagine a vain thing he began to declare the word to god moses said for thou declares to abraham you are god and whenever they prayed look at the word the way daniel prayed the way ezekiel prayed the way i say i prayed the way hezekiah prayed look what you know isaiah the prophet goes in and says you're going to die prepare yourself the guy turns his face before isaiah hits the outer court of the garden of his house of his palace god answers that prayer because he because the king has a guy turns his face and says you are god you are god and i am your soul he immediately he declares who god is and before the man is through praying god says isaiah go back telling me he's going to live another 15 years just because the man recognizes who god is david that's the way he prayed you are the lord the god of israel you're the one who split the red sea and brought the people out he declared who god is and after he declared who god is there was an eruption of adoration and praise out of their hearts before they ever said give me the reason many of you don't get the give me is because you don't exalt him first and recognize his authority somebody say hallelujah god almighty hallowed be thy name i love this ladies and gentlemen thy kingdom come that's a mighty prayer absolutely a mighty mighty mighty mighty prayer in this we see something else in this we see something else the moment you said thy kingdom come you release faith without it it's impossible to pray we move from praise to boldness thy kingdom come and we also become specific in prayer revelation number 12 you can't pray unless you are specific your kingdom come now ladies and gentlemen you cannot see god's hand move it's impossible to see his hands move upon you till you become absolutely specific with god almighty thy kingdom come what is god's kingdom for the kingdom of god is not meat and drink but come on let's all say together about peace and in the holy ghost jesus said the kingdom of god has come unto you so what is his his kingdom his kingdom deals with the gospel deals with the work of the holy spirit upon the earth we pray specifically now you can't pray generally when it comes to the kingdom of god oh how i wish i had the time to get into this right here but please understand i'm giving you general headlines you've got to be specific in prayer or no prayer can be answered effectively learn i've learned this a long time ago that our god is a detailed god you read the old covenancy how detail is every little detailed matter you look at the way he told moses to prepare the tabernacle even the colors the measurements so detailed we deal in headlines god deals in details always we deal with give me this yet god deals in the details of how he gives it to you i've always said there are no meaningless details in the bible every little thing matters learn how god is and cooperate be detailed now you see david understood that about god remember when he became king the philistines attacked him and he said shall i go against them and god said go against them i've delivered them into your hands then they they attacked a few weeks later now he could have very easily said well god did the first time he'll do a second time and he said shall i go against them they said no god said don't do it the the way you did it go from behind the trees remember that and when you hear a noise on top of the trees then attack god is specific specific he asked the lord one question one day he said will they deliver me to the hands of saul yes they will he said then i'm getting out of here ask god such questions be specific with him don't take it just for granted god will not move till you cooperate and you cooperate with specific prayer specific prayer specific prayer so frightening i have prayed about things sometimes for years and they just nothing was answered till one day i just thought lord why haven't you answered and i just have to go back and and examine my prayer to see if i pray the thing right specific thy kingdom come thy will be done now listen to this there is a secret will and a revealed will say it yeah in deuteronomy 29 1 29 it says the secret thing belongs to god yet we know and please hear this the secret will of god cannot be opposed no human policy on earth can prevent it yet there is the revealed will which can be opposed by satan that's why we must pray thy will be done thy will be done there is a secret will there is a revealed will we pray about the revealed will not the secret will and as i told you i believe wednesday night or sometimes yesterday i said you look at the bible you see what the revealed will is you take it to prayer and pray in faith and expect the answer you go to the word because the revealed will is already written in the word it's it's it's revealed that god is not winning that initial perish it's it's revealed that he forgives your sin it's revealed that he heals your body it's revealed that he will satisfy your mouth with good things it's revealed and you go say father you promised it therefore i ask in faith and believe it's mine and that's it not only in that revealed world is faith which of course is involved and being specific is also involved but in that revealed will you must give god or speak to god or release unto god your need and there comes something powerful tell god your need can't pray without telling him your need being specific about your need for you know what the what the promises say about your need thy will be done it's marvelous are you learning something thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven and we must now know that in prayer there will be transformation it's a part of prayer accept it and expect it there will be transformation and prayer thy will be done on earth in my life as it's done in heaven father god i believe there will be transformation in my heart because i prayed you walk out of that prayer closet and you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know something has changed transformation i love it thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven not only am i definite specific but now i've given god my need and i've believed that he's hurt my need and i believe as a result of prayer there will be transformation in my walk with god because now i've said as in heaven so in my life on earth give us this day our daily bread we move here into supplication into requests in other words give us this day our daily bread supplication sets in here requests come in here a part of the lord's prayer these are revelations in the lord's prayer and forgive us then we follow with repentance it's a part of prayer forgive us we repent and number 18 we forgive don't expect god to be moved unless you forgive forgive us we repent as we forgive forgiveness so this really is number 18 is forgiveness there is forgiveness involved in prayer not only repentance on my part but i forgive whoever has injured me and forgive us our depths as we forgive our adaptors and lead us not oh that's powerful that's all that is glorious glorious growth lead us not guidance is a part of that prayer lead us not into temptation protection is a part of that prayer protection lead us not into temptation that's most marvelous and prevention lord prevent me from doing the same thing i did last week lead me not into that same temptation i just came out of lead us not into temptation prevent me from going there again lord lead us not into temptation but deliver us deliverance is in that prayer deliver us from evil for thine is oh my god i feel the anointing here for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory there's something marvelous here something marvelous the 23rd revelation in the lord's prayer is reverence we revere him the one who is and again go right back to where we started by declaring who he is the lord's prayer begins with a revelation of who god is and ends with it for thine is the glory power honor majesty praise yours is lord if you will pray according to the lord's prayer no devil can touch your life did i miss 15 oh for goodness sake i was influenced again by steve brock number 15 my dear is affirmation i affirm i affirm the word of god as done i declare it or declaration when to lift your hands and bless the god of glory thank you jesus [Music] you
