- [Narrator] There are oppositions that do not budge
with the simple prayer and faith.
There are particular boosters that are available to us
that reinforce our prayers.
Welcome, to gracedigital presentation.
In this video, we will cover three powerful boosters
of your prayers.
Number one, personal testimonies.
God tells us to put him in remembrance.
Revelations 12:11 lets us know testimonies are weapons
in the hands of the believer.
Revelations 12:11 says:
They triumphed over him by the blood of the lamb
and by the word of their testimony.
They did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.
In "The Bible" we see with just a few moments
of Hezekiah giving his personal testimonies and his prayer,
he secured heaven's intervention into his case.
Put God into remembrance.
Your personal testimony has the ability
to deliver you in the day of trial.
You don't have to be unfruitful when you serve the Lord.
"The Bible" says, and ye shall serve the Lord, your God,
and he shall bless thy bread and thy water
and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
There shall nothing cast their young,
nor be barren, in thy land.
The number of thy days I will fulfill.
Exodus 23:25-26.
God brings blessings to those who serve him.
God brings blessings to those who serve him,
so make use of your testimonies.
Remind him of how you have served him,
with all your heart and then look out
for the release of your heritage in God.
Your dedication and commitment to God's kingdom
will serve as a stronghold for you in the days of battle.
Praying in the spirit.
Praying in the spirit is another method
to boost your prayer.
The forces against us are spiritual,
so we must deal with them from that realm
as the flesh hasn't enough force to handle them.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God
that ye may be able to withstand the evil day
and having done all to stand,
praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the spirit.
Ephesians 6:12-13 and verse 18.
That is why Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit
in order to help us transcend the physical realm
into the heavenly.
Until you are able to engage the help
of the Holy Spirit in prayer,
you may never experience true breakthrough
in your Christian life.
Roman 8:26-27.
Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought,
but the spirit itself maketh a decision for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth, the hearts knoweth
what is in the mind of the spirit
because he maketh intercession with the saints
according to the will of God.
For no man understandeth him.
How be it in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
When you pray in the spirit, the devil does not know
what you're talking with God about.
The spirit himself intercedes on your behalf.
1 Corinthians 2:10-11.
For the spirit searcheth all things,
ye the deep things of God
for what man knoweth the things of a man
save the spirit of which is in him?
Even so, the things of God knoweth no man,
but the spirit of God.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19.
When you switch over to the spirit,
the Holy Spirit helps you to raise a standard
against the enemy.
What happens when you switch over to the spirit
is that you are releasing the rivers of living water
that flows in you as a spirit filled believer.
He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water,
but this spake he of the spirit,
which they that believe on him, should receive
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.
John 7:38-39
Your lips are the outlet of rivers of God within you.
When you speak in tongues you release the river
which is able to swallow up every evil flood of the enemy
and deliver you out of every predicament.
Number three.
Fast.
After Jesus spoke about the importance of faith
in dealing with oppositions,
he then said, "How be it, this kind goeth not out,
"but by prayer and fasting."
Matthew 17:21.
A combination of your faith, prayer and fasting
will bring challenges to submission.
Jesus fasted for 40 days
and never discussed that event once.
However, the effect of his fast was evident
in his life and ministry.
A fast without results is a mere waste of time
as one of the purpose of a fast is a release of power.
It is not a religious activity
or one of those things we do in Christianity.
It is a vital kingdom force which empowers the believer
to lose the bands of wickedness
and undo heavy burdens and break every yoke.
In Luke 4:14,
we learn that after Jesus had fasted for 40 days,
the word of God says,
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the spirit
and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
When we're in a fast, we are connecting with heaven.
That is why during a fast we must remember
to have periods of separation to study
in fellowship with the word of God.
So, when you're faced with an opposition
that seems not to be yielding to faith and prayer,
organize a fast to help generate a fresh supply of power
to deal with it.
Then you will call and the Lord will answer.
You will cry for help and he will say, "Here I am,"
if you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk.
Isaiah 58:9.
Fasting produces breakthroughs, outstanding accomplishments,
a breaking forth in your health, spiritual breakthroughs
and answers to prayers.
Thy light shall break forth as the morning.
