Pray The Right Way - Best Advice on Prayer from Archbishop Duncan - Williams

well praise God I'm excited to share with you such onyx inspiring mercies of God it's like firebending inside of my soul and in my bones come with me right now I guarantee you your life it's about to be impacted like you've never known it before someone I'm reading to me actually in a question about what is the perfect prayer is there anything like a perfect prayer yes there is and this is my answer when you pray according to the scriptures or the will of God like Jesus said pray after this manner that is a perfect prayer praying the Scriptures praying according to the logos the you can pray according to the logos and according to the Rhema now the logos is what is written the written word of God and Jesus pray after this manner our Father who art in heaven hello and be done name so it's a protocol and when you pray that when you never go wrong and that helps you to pray according to the will of God and then there's another way of praying which is another way of perfect rain and that is praying by revelation where the Holy Spirit gives you a revelation he gives you advance knowledge he downloads God's mind concerning a particular situation at a particular time at a particular time and season of your life and where the Holy Spirit deals something or downloads heavens in terms concerning the situation and when you pray according to what has been revealed by the Holy Spirit you never go wrong because you are not praying according to your will or your feelings or your desires or your wishes or your expectations you are praying the mind of God you are praying what God wants you are praying his desires you are praying his will and that is one of the ways that you can pray a perfect pray our knowing that your emotions your desires your feelings and your will is not involved in this but that this is God's plan this is God's will the Bible said we know that if we pray according to his will he hear at us and God's will is revealed in his word the Bible said that sin shall not have dominion of the new because you are under grace and you are not under the law so when you want in obedience you are under the lordship of Jesus Christ but when you work in disobedience you come under the influence and the governance of the Prince of the power of the air you must understand that let me break it down here in Ghana we have ambassadors of different countries in Ghana or nations as much as the AI in Ghana they are not ruled by the laws of Ghana they are ruled by the laws of their nation in Ghana they of diplomatic immunity they are the different tag numbers to their vehicles than the Ganon's citizens do they are not under our governance they are under the governance and the rule of the nation so even though they are in Ghana they are under the authority of the country when you go to the embassy even though they are in the land of Ghana that particular location - graphic allocation within Ghana becomes the territory of the nation and the Ghana government cannot cross line to go to pick anybody up or attack anybody if you are being pursued and you run to any foreign embassy the country wearing you are cannot take you captive they have to negotiate because you are in another country territory within your own territory that's what the Bible says we are in this world but we are not of this world when you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb when you become the redeem of the Lord and a child of God you are not under the rulership of the devil you are under the rulership of God but when it comes to your dealings here on earth or in the world you will have to contend with the that is where we contend for the faith you have to contend because the enemy will put up a fight and you have to respond accordingly you run back off you don't stand down you stand your ground and that you must know you arise like the foreign embassies they know they arrived they know they have diplomatic rights and immunity so when there is a situation and you try to challenge them they will they will challenge you based on the diplomatic accords and rights they are and we based on the Word of God have the right to resist the enemy but before we can resist them we need to submit to God the Bible says submit yourself to God resist the devil and you flee from you if you don't submit if you are not submitted to God's Word to God's Authority you can't resist the enemy because this whole thing about prayer is all based on rules of engagement you must understand technicalities and legalities on how these things operate so I want you to clearly understand and appreciate that as a child of God and a believer you are the Redeem of the law you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and you must learn to say so so the enemy is a bullet and he don't go out I'm bullying you he doesn't have authority over you if you are redeemed by the blood of the lamb but he has authority when you walk in disobedience and the key is to learn to walk in obedience at all time length to submit your will to the will of your father because you are a free being you are you have the right to exercise your own will as you please and God cannot override the will about this in the place of prayer that the will of God is revealed is done and is manifested then he said furthermore pray that thy kingdom come thy kingdom come thy kingdom come so the manifestation of God's will is a claim he has his kingdom he rules that for the rule of God to come in our lives in our churches in our families in our marriages for God's rule to be made manifest or to be super impose the rule of man it's going to take consistent persistent three alive understanding that here on earth Satan has charged and rulership and I've met a lot of Christians in my 40 years of walk with God who believe that God is in charge of this world God is in control I don't argue and I don't fight them I leave them because everybody's entitled to their own opinion so I leave them alone I don't fight people for my war face not with flesh and blood so I don't find my family I don't fight friends I don't fight flesh and blood I know where my warfare is but I'm telling you if you go to have an effective prayer life and pray with such in a tenacity and forcefulness and audacity that is required you must appreciate and understand this one thing that things only happen when we pray and there are things that must happen that would never happen until we pray because Satan has the rule over this world and he will resist anything to do with God's will God's plan God's kingdom for your life for my life for the life of your children your loved ones your family your finances your church your community that is his job he's anointed to do that he's in opposition against God and he knows that you and I are the apple of God's eye and when he can get to us is an indirect way of hating God so his target is to help God by attacking you and I and the only way we fight back is in the place of prayer that's why Jesus said pray that thy kingdom come and we'll be done it is in the place of prayer teaching is great we need to teach I'm doing it right now we need to preach line upon line precept upon precept a little bit there Nelly be here we need that but jesus said the kingdom is made manifest the rule of God the establishment of the divine order of God here on earth and the original intent is manifested to the place of Prayer but how many hours Ukraine but is that consistency a few of peppers from today to pray three times a day if you will take the time and say I'm gonna pray for just 20 minutes in the moment 2025 minutes and make time for prayer just as you make time for food and coffee and you make time to do the things you think I make time for pre-med time for prayer in the morning and mid time for prayer at noon even if he's ten minutes later coober ah ha ha hey he caribou shadows lay a dual a koala see he Mundek allah wa javi Eureka da la Ronda sia even if he's ten minutes talk to the father speaking at once if you have to go to the bathroom though go hide yourself in the bathroom prayer he said daily necessity for daily trial when you're coming home from wet praying out of tongues when you coming home from well just keep praying a spirit mattify yourself build up your most holy faith and then before you go to bed take some 5-10 minutes be very deliberate about it bring the Holy Spirit take some scriptures and force the world pray for your posture pray for your loved ones you can prove four times a day so easily you don't have to do one hour you don't have to do three hours you don't have to do flower just be consistent stay up it stay up it ten minutes a little bit day five minutes - eight minutes there ten minutes there but just stay active this clear and then there'll be times you can heat an hour then you can heat two hours and you can he three hours then you can he fall just stay out it just they re just stay on him just stay on it for the next 30 days I want you to have a plan that you're gonna pray three times four times a day ten minutes here 10 minutes there 10 minutes there 15 minutes there 20 minutes there just there we caught a bit and develop a prayer life I'm telling you God will give you an idea intelligence and he will download secrets to you and I about our own self and about our loved ones of our families even about our enemies I have learned a lot of things about people who came against me about what was going to happen to them some time about outcomes of circumstances have known things of our governments and know things of our very powerful people that I don't share with anybody I don't tell anybody but it just comes to me as I'm in prayer there are times when I'll be praying and things will come to me about situation and God will say this would be the outcome I got you it's good it's okay it'll be fine and everybody's panicking and physically you don't see any changes and he looks bad in the natural but I have peace inside I'm calm in the inside because I've broken through already at the place of prayer and intercession and God has already given me the victory and the Opera but physically he doesn't look any different at all he still looks the same before I pray but I know I have the note of victory I'm telling you if you develop a prayer life and make it a determination of your life on daily basis to spend time with God in prayer God will reveal secrets to you you will know things like never before you will know things about your own circumstances your own family I've had situation about some of my spiritual sons and daughters where things about them will come up to me and I'll call them and I ugh them straight to the point and don't say Papa how did you know who told you and then don't say who is telling you things and sometimes some of them won't even wait to hear for me they get upset and think that somebody's telling me is this dispute telling me things and sometimes nobody knows about it and our ask them and say listen this is what the Lord is telling me and we'll break down trying so many things I get to know only at the place of prayer and when you developed a strong prayer life you get to know a lot of things and things don't move you you don't panic and it may look very bad it may look difficult and tough in the natural but I'm telling you if you I pray man and a praying woman you will always rise up to the top he doesn't matter what comes against you what is meant for evil God will always turn it for your good either I praying individual most time people think that is only prophets who know things no it's not true if you pray you don't have to be a prophet if you are an intercessor you know the secrets of God and you will also know the secrets of the enemy I want to encourage you to be an intercessor because when you go to the place of prayer and you learn to stand in the gap and communicate with the father if you stay in touch with heaven you will know heavens decision about map of our nations of our community the Bible said that Jesus went to the mountain prayed continue all night in prayer to God and when the morning was come he appointed twelve apostles now because of the commitment because of the decision he was to make the next day he went into prayer and not to stay in prayer to get the mind of God about every one of the Twelve Apostles and even with that he added Judas he added Judas among them can you imagine if he had improved at all or if he had just prayed and didn't pray all night long like so many people think that why do you have to pray your life is not death if you just talked about it goddess headed but Jesus is our best example he went up to a mountain to pray to give God an undivided attention then continued all night in prayer before choosing his 12 apostles if you and I will spend time in prayer over every decision and of our choices we make and major decisions of our family our life and our ministry I'm telling you we will always have revelation and know things and have advanced knowledge I prefer you know that this message will impact your life help you change your perspective the way you think your mentality Jesus mandate an assignment was what determined the level of his warfare and battle now if you look at his ministry sit on himself was assigned to Jesus when you look at all it was a messenger of Satan when you look at the guy of the gadarenes it was a legion 6,000 devils when you look at Mary Magdalene it was seven demons assigned so what you carry your assignment your destiny is what determines your level of battle and warfare in life and I want you to get it because until you get this and make sense of it you will always struggle in life because you don't understand why you should be going through what you're going through and dealing with what you dealing with and Paul had that situation and challenge if you look at 2nd Corinthians 12 and 7 Paul said lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelation what this he said because of the abundance of the revelation I carry the Bible said that there is this treasure in earthen vessels you see so you are an 18 vessel you are like a vehicle you are like a tool you carry destiny you carry light you carry perforce you carry something and Paul said he said through the abundance of the revelation that was given unto me said Paul there was given to me a thorn in the flesh a torn in the flesh then he went for what to say a messenger of Satan to buffet me lest I should be exalted above measure so what was the assignment of the messenger of Satan to limit and to restrict his ability and capacity to excel to do well you see he said lest I should be exalted above measure so the enemy's determination whenever is he comes against you and I is to limit us or is to restrict us so that we don't excel or we don't rise to where God expects us to rise to but understand few things that the reason for the tongue in his flesh to cause discomfort and to bother him was because of what he carried the devil and demons are not bothering you and attacking you if they are not busy around you is an indication truly speaking that you ain't going away in life and you don't carry anything and you are no threat to the forces of evil now understand that the desire and the determination of evil is to destroy good evil will never rest nor be satisfied to the destroy good that is the assignment of evil and the reason why a lot of good people are destroyed is because the Bible said my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge their lack of illumination and knowledge of the fact that UI thread because of what you carry that you you are light or you carry light in your family in your church in your community and where you are that youa light there is darkness in this world this world is full of darkness the Bible said the whole world lieth in wickedness this all wellness is in darkness it's under the covering of the power of darkness and he can stand light and because you represent light he will always oppose you Paul said because of the abundance of the revelation that I carry there was given unto me a thorn in the flesh is that a possibility that you might be struggling with a thorn in the flesh because you are on assignment from God and because you carry a great destiny because you carry an abundance of Revelation or because of your assignment your family in your church your community your city your nation that the forces of evil have ganged up against you that you are under such a demonic pressure and bombardment because you are carrying something and the forces of evil don't want you to fulfill your mandate your assignment given to you by God and so they would throw everything at you and possibly kill you if it was possible but in the name of Jesus the Son of the Living God Jesus said no one can plug you out of my hands because he who gave you unto me sir Jesus is greater than all if he had his way he would have taken you are the fact that you are still here is an indication that God is not finished with you yet one look at Haggai chapter 2 verse 21 and 22 speak to zerubabbel governor of judah say i will shake the heavens and the earth and I will overthrow the throne of the kingdom he says of kingdoms ladies and gentlemen in the coming year and the years ahead Thrones of kingdoms will be overthrown Solomon said all this vanity all is vanity and how people can be so powerful and arrogance and so proud and thinking that they have all the answers and God said I'm gonna shake off his ladies and gentlemen if Jesus tarried even for another fifty years we will destroy this planet for man has pressed the bottom of self-destruction and we will destroy this at ourselves because man have decided that I don't need God to have all the answers I can do it without God and instead of depending on the Creator I will rather put my trust in the creation and God said I will shake create the heavens above and the end I will set governments I will shake nations I will have a cross the very seat of prowess I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and of Nations and of kings go ahead and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen he said I will destroy the very strength duckpin which gives them the audacity that thing that makes them proud and I will count and make them lean on the arm of flesh God said I will take it away from them and overnight it will be as nothing and as the grass of the field and as a flower that faded I hope your confidence is in God I hope you know in whom you trust I hope your confidence and your audacity is not in your achievement and accomplishment and in in the money's you you've saved and the houses you've build and they are all good and is great but I hope that is not where your confidence is none of the things we do for our children the house field and the monies we leave behind none of those things comes in eternity and none of those things will give us mileage in eternity and none of those things will give us a reward in eternity the only things that counts in eternity is what you did for the church and what you did to advance the cause of his kingdom and the gospel I believe in eternity and I believe that other religions believe in Heaven than Christians because if we believe in heaven who would take heed of what we do and how we live and how we treat the Word of God and how we treat one another and how we treat others we will leave with eternity in mind that our lives and our living will not just be about acquiring wealth and building houses and acquiring material blessings and prosperity we will realize that the reason for being blessed is to be a blessing that I am blessed to be a blessing and to save others and I'm set free to free others every believer must determine to build a church before you die and every true believer must leave something for the church before you die if you are true believer you believe in heaven and you believe that Jesus is the head of the church you must do something for the chest before you die hear me the Bible says dearly beloved be steadfast immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that you live in the law not your labor in your personal business but your labor in the Lord is not in vain you're living in the Lord and the Bible says blessed are those that died in the Lord for the seas from liebherr in the awakes shall follow them the waxes with having here is not how successful you were as a CEO and successful you aim business or in anything you accomplished this wax is referring to is your wax in the Lord and the things you did for Christ the gospel and souls and those are the things that will come for eternity you need confidence when you stand before God and you need to always have every conscience when you stand before God and the boldness the audacity and the carry so as much as scene cos pleasure the consequence of sin is not wet the pleasure if anybody tells you that sin has no pleasure is a lie oh yeah there's some pleasure in saying you know what I'm saying now you don't look at me like you are angel come on ain't no angel here tell somebody there's no danger here we don't have any injuries including myself I in a ninja I won't talk about singing everybody just think about specific things like sexual immorality no no no there are many many scenes the bama see every unrighteousness is a scene line is the same jealousy is a sin anger is a scene envy is a scene arrogance pride haughtiness unforgiveness bitterness being offended beanhead all the widths of the flesh you know the wax of the flesh some people they don't talk to anybody they don't greet anybody they don't relate to anybody they despise everybody they look down on anybody they have this superiority conference don't you know who I am who are you you want to know who you are go to any cemetery you know who you are that is the end of all flesh so please I know you've been to Oxford I know you've been to Cambridge and you have a Princeton the best of the school you've been to the batch of school and you have all you speak the Queen's English listen look at me and you stink mister I got it together you stink so take it easy I know I know some of you don't want milk either but sometimes you need to be painting it that graphic you need to be reminded that you stink this nice red pepper preaching where we are becoming politically correct in the church is allowing people to fool around and misbehave in the judge and is making people act as if they have arrived in the Avengers but there are no angels among us including me there's no angel here we are sting so if God has given you a little grace then I stare at you and show you messy humble yourself and treat human beings as human beings and stop living your shoulders come on put your hands together shout and give God glory afraid someone's you can't even clap your hands you can see Joe you can't you have arrived you are too big massage right do I hold I have called the iniquity to pass from be your iniquity the first thing we had to do before his iniquity passed and before dealing with his filthy comin and dealing with the resistance was the rebuke of the Lord the rebuke of the Lord has a way to silence the address room shutting down tell him stay out of his return is between me and my son in my daughter we meet the rebuke of the Lord in our lives today was when naughty no berries when everything rebalance they cannot be bet against the rebuke of the Lord Jesus was on the sea from one side to the other side and there are roles strong wind and the sea was Bosphorus and the Bible said he arose from the sea and rebuked the wind and immediately the wing was slain and the sea was calm the rebuke of the Lord ladies and gentlemen like never before we need a rebuke of the law put your hands together thank God for the review of the law [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
