KEYS TO PRAYER THAT BRINGS RESULTS

Prayer Is Life
When a believer prays, heaven opens. When a believer prays, chains break. When a believer prays, answers are released. That is why the devil will fight your prayer life—because he knows that once you kneel before God, you can stand before anything.
Some people take prayer lightly. They see it as a routine, as something you do when you’re in trouble. But prayer is deeper than that. Prayer is communication with your Father. It is your lifeline.
Biblical Foundation
James 5:16 says:
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
Not just prayer. Not just quiet whispers. But effectual, fervent prayer. Prayer with fire. Prayer with passion. Prayer that refuses to let go until heaven responds.
Look at Elijah. He prayed, and the heavens shut. He prayed again, and the heavens opened. That is the power of prayer.
Prayer Produces Turnaround
Every revival in history started with prayer. Every breakthrough begins with prayer. Prayer is the womb that gives birth to miracles.
When Hannah prayed, her barrenness ended.
When Jabez prayed, his destiny was enlarged.
When the church prayed, Peter was released from prison.
Prayer turns things around. And I prophesy: as you lift up your voice in prayer today, something must shift in your life!
You Cannot Live Without Prayer
A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. You cannot claim to walk with God if you don’t talk to Him. Prayer is the fuel that keeps your spirit burning.
Some people depend on pastors to pray for them, but hear me: your victory is in your own mouth. You must open your mouth and pray!
Prayer Will Be Tested
Sometimes, you will pray and it looks like nothing is happening. That is where faith comes in. Prayer is not about feelings; prayer is about faith.
Daniel prayed for 21 days before his answer came. The angel told him, “From the first day you prayed, your request was heard.” But the prince of Persia resisted. That is why persistence in prayer is necessary. Don’t give up until your answer manifests.
