prayer guide, it is important that you practice the biblical principles of
prayer that you have just studied about. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>

word about practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have heard for
years the old saying that “practice makes perfect,” but we know it is not just
any type of practice that guides one to develop skills correctly, but it is
“perfect practice.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I am saying is
that for these principles to become an intricate part of your daily prayer
life, you must spend significant time to learn them and apply them in your
daily prayers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will continue to pray
on the same level you are now unless you commit to learning and developing a
deeper, biblical pattern for prayer. Remember, your intent is to spend time in
His presence so He can reveal more of His character to you and, you in turn can
become more like Him. So don’t put it off another day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not be overwhelmed by the potential depth
of your prayer life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God will get you
there one step at a time and at your own pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But in order to learn these principles more rapidly, I ask you to use
the following steps. In the book and study guide, under the five prayer types,
I list certain categories for prayer. I ask you to now establish a daily plan
dividing the subjects from those categories into a seven-day plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By dividing the categories in each prayer
type into seven parts and praying through only one or two categories per day
you will be able to pray through them all in one week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will keep you from feeling overwhelmed
by the magnitude of the total categories you need to pray through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, this is merely an example to help
you learn the biblical principles of prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is not some pre-set formula that you must mechanically follow each
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times God will give you unique
promptings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, God is to be in
control and we must let Him guide our prayer time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As you read through the following
pattern for prayer, be conscious of what materials you will need for your daily
prayer time. (your Bible, a prayer journal, lists of God’s names and
characteristics, hymns, lists of people and situations which need prayer) List
any other materials you will need here. </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Meditation
is a form of prayer because it is communication with God through prayerful
listening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">In meditation you are quietly listening for God’s voice
through His Word and the impressions He speaks to your heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is essential to remember that genuine
prayer is a relationship and not just a habit or ritual. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A genuine relationship requires both talking
and listening. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">There can be no
real relationship unless it is two way. After all, how would you feel if your
spouse talked all the time and never gave you a chance to speak? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That would make for an extremely poor marriage
and it also make s for a poor relationship with God! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meditation is that time when we specifically
listen for God to speak to our heart. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
more we know and meditate on God’s Word the easier we will recognize His voice
when He speaks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">You must approach the Bible as God’s personal word to
you on each new day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After reading a few
verses you should pause and simply ask, “God, what are you saying to me?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this way, prayer and Bible reading become
powerfully inter-connected. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">Keep a journal or notebook of your daily time with God.
A thorough personal journal is literally a written record of your relationship
with God. Another great advantage of journaling is that you form the habit of
writing down the specific promises God reveals to your heart.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">When actual recording God’s promises you are much more
likely to take them seriously. Writing down key thoughts and impressions helps
you to get into a serious habit of listening for God’s voice. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

speaks to us and transforms our life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surrounding
yourself with God’s Word is one variation of meditation. Psalm 1:2 states, “In
His law doth he meditate day and night.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt;">Remember, your prayer time is not some preset formula
that you mechanically follow each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some days God will lead you to spend much time in praise and little in
confession. On other days, he may greatly burden you to intercede for specific
people while focusing little on petition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.” <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And in Matthew 6:16-18 – “Moreover, when

appear to men to be fasting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Assuredly,
I say to you, they have their reward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you
do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place;
and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed…. —James 5:14-16<br> <br> Who is the "ye" in the phrase "that ye may be healed"? "Ye" is the body of Christ. Each of us in the body of Christ is to pray for one another so those in the Church may be healed. We Christians will be healthier when we start praying for one another. We need to understand that we have great power in prayer. James 5:16 AMP puts it this way: "The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." Praying for each other can make the difference. You see, there are people in the Church and in the world who need your help to understand and take hold of their healing. Why? Some people have never even heard about divine healing. Isaiah 5:13 says, "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge…." Others have never been taught how to receive from God. These people need someone to go to the throne of God in prayer for them, praying that the eyes of their understanding are enlightened. (Eph.1:16.) You can be that someone! Your earnest, heartfelt, and continued prayers for another can make tremendous power available.<br> <br> <b>Confession:</b> As I pray, tremendous power is made available to effect a healing and a cure in others and in me.</span></i></p> <br> </div> <div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Chalkboard, cursive;

The laying on of hands can encourage the transferring of power from us into the person and heal them, just like the woman who felt power flow from Jesus when she touched the hem of His garment (Mark 5:30)! Jesus said that those who believe will have the Holy Ghost flowing out of their innermost being (John 7:38-39), and even Peter's shadow healed people (Acts 5:15)!</span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">In Mark 5:25-34, the woman with the issue of blood heard the report about Jesus, while doctors could not heal her; she believed and touched Jesus' garment and was healed. In 2 Chronicles 16:12-13, it speaks about King Asa who only sought help from the doctors and never from the Lord; his sickness got worse and then he died. Therefore, trust the Lord for your healing because nothing is too hard for Him.</span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">God placed doctors here to help us and we should go to the doctors to find out what's going on with our body. Despite what the doctor says, you can believe the report of the Lord and the word of God for your healing. Know that it is God's will for you to be healed for your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost not the temple of sickness. Proverbs 4:22 says that God's word is "health to all your flesh," and it works for those who find it. Medicine should be taken according to the doctor's instructions; if he says take two tablets three times a day for one week; you should do exactly as he advised. You believe it works even when you still feel pain, now that's what the doctor's instruction is.</span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Now let's see what God is saying or is instructing you to do. Take these verses as often as possible, meditate on them day and night, if the condition gets worst double the dose; do not believe the devil's report. The devil always questions the word of God. In Romans 8:2 it says, "The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death." In Philippians 1:21-26, Paul did not know what to choose but he ultimately chose to remain living. We have authority; God has given it to us, use it. "Jesus has given us authority over the power of the enemy and nothing shall in anyway harm us (Luke 10:17-19)."</span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Jesus is building his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; Jesus has given us the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:18-19). We have authority. In the book of Acts 19:16-18, we see that the sons of Sceva had no authority to use the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus as long as you have the authority to use it. John 14:12-14 tells us that believers will do the works that Jesus did, even greater works because Jesus is now with the Father. Job 22:28 states that, "You shall decree a thing and it shall be established". So, decree and declare that no weapon formed against you or your family in any way shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.

Many have taught Paul's thorn was a disease in his body. But in context, you can see that Paul was talking about persecutions: Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 2 Corinthians 11:24-25,27 Unquestionably, there were many persecutions in one form or another. Every place Paul went, there was a spirit stirring people up to persecute him. But Paul never said anything to indicate his thorn in the flesh was even remotely connected to disease. However, Paul did say the thorn was a messenger of Satan, not a messenger of God: "There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me." So we see that Paul's thorn wasn't disease and it wasn't from God.<br> <br> <strong><span>Confession:</span></strong> Paul's thorn wasn't from God and neither are diseases that attack me. I overcome the devil in every situation, and I'm the healed of the Lord.</span></i></p> </div> <div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Chalkboard, cursive; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"> <br> </div> <div id="Signature"> <br> <br> <br> <font color="#000000"><br> </font> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> </div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559619664769200722.post-11885041592928864882019-11-23T15:12:00.001-05:002019-11-23T15:12:13.720-05:00MY ANSWERS<div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Chalkboard, cursive; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <br> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <b><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "Georgia",serif"><o:p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4tUDiJqHP3EGUR9Xks2AfYNgPXstTSzjs8oPkPRSiJ6IGyEzULZb5AmQ7O1mdVHGh-b4SfwKAgs2nwCWK9dKi8hphxDnoG06f4y-tw61gyJ9Lnp2iTiN29SJUBG1cYL7Nf-aN6Ep-0kE/s1600/QUESTIONS-733740.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4tUDiJqHP3EGUR9Xks2AfYNgPXstTSzjs8oPkPRSiJ6IGyEzULZb5AmQ7O1mdVHGh-b4SfwKAgs2nwCWK9dKi8hphxDnoG06f4y-tw61gyJ9Lnp2iTiN29SJUBG1cYL7Nf-aN6Ep-0kE/s320/QUESTIONS-733740.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6762597525782445426" /></a></o:p></span></i></b></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <b><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;background:white">1).

Sickness and disease are under my feet because it says in Ephesians 2:6 that I am seated with Christ above all the power of the enemy.</span></i></p> </div> <div id="Signature"> <br> <br> <br> <font color="#000000"><br> </font> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> </div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559619664769200722.post-64094049229924754532019-11-23T13:44:00.001-05:002019-11-23T13:44:24.314-05:00PRAYER<div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Chalkboard, cursive; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <br> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <b><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "Georgia",serif;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <b><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "Georgia",serif;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"><o:p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkz5elo3sJEYCAqN34kzlF50HUd2HH3yYdQGRMCjXUYneD2zUhCffoIWIyxBtijM77TEOkcalURoVhe5UQnuOYcF3bX8lnBeTVtHsEnh1URwpxeAdoDMfvkYhs8mgg3B9_ppescWjbzU/s1600/PRAISE+THE+LORD7-764369.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkz5elo3sJEYCAqN34kzlF50HUd2HH3yYdQGRMCjXUYneD2zUhCffoIWIyxBtijM77TEOkcalURoVhe5UQnuOYcF3bX8lnBeTVtHsEnh1URwpxeAdoDMfvkYhs8mgg3B9_ppescWjbzU/s320/PRAISE+THE+LORD7-764369.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6762574893912749378" /></a><br> </o:p></span></i></b></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"> <i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black;mso-themecolor: text1">Glory to God in the highest!

for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever.<em><span> —</span></em>Mark 11:12-14<br> <br> Jesus came to a fig tree looking for fruit, but there was no fruit. So He cursed the fig tree and just walked away. We can learn a faith lesson here. Although the tree didn't change immediately, Jesus didn't wonder whether His words had worked. He just walked away in faith knowing His words were working. When they returned from Jerusalem the next day, His disciples said, "Master, the fig tree you cursed is withered away! It died from the roots!" (v. 21.) Of course! Second Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." You see, it didn't matter what Jesus saw. It was what He believed that made the difference. That's the very basis of faith. Faith is walking by what God says instead of what you see—because what God says will change what you see! Faith is placing your confidence in the truth. Romans 3:4 says, "Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…." In John 17:17 Jesus says, "Thy word is truth." The only real truth we find in this world is the Word of God, and it takes precedence above experiences, opinions, or doctrines. Speak words of faith, and your words will surely come to pass.<br> <br> <strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">Confession:</span></strong> I speak in faith over my body and call myself healed, whole, well, strong, and victorious.</span></i></p> </div> <div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Chalkboard, cursive; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"> <br> </div> <div id="Signature"> <br> <br> <br> <font color="#000000"><br> </font> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> <div class="ecxstwrapper" id="ecxstwrapper" style="left:-999px; top:-999px; visibility:hidden"> <div class="ecxstclose"></div> </div> </div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
