PRAYING THROUGH


READ: 2 CHRONICLES 20:1-25
Today’s we shall focus our attention on the secrets of praying through. To pray through you must know how to attract God’s attention. The best way to secure God as an ally is by praising Him. Psalm 22:3 says, “But You are holy, Who inhabit in the praises of Israel.” If you praise God, His glory will come down. When He comes, miracles will happen. For God to leave His throne and come to your house, the first thing He will do will be to stand up. When God arises, His enemies will scatter (Psalm 68:1). Who are the enemies of God? There are your enemies too. When God arrives, there will be earthquake (Acts 16:25-26). The greatest way to get deliverance is through praise. You can get yourself delivered from any bondage whatsoever if you praise God. If God pays you a visit, every yoke in your life would be broken. If you praise Him and direct Him to a particular enemy, that enemy is finished. Psalm 35:1-3 says: “Plead my cause, O LORD,, with those who strive with me;  fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Also draw out the spear, and stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am your salvation.” Many of us wait until we get into trouble before we pray. This is not wise. Do not wait until the enemy has beaten you before you begin to ask for help. If you ask God for help at this time, He will deliver you. However, you will have gone through some pain. Some of us may have been praying for a miracle for months and are wondering when the miracle will arrive. If you read Daniel 10, you will find an interesting story. Daniel prayed and fasted, and from the first day that he began to pray, God heard ad sent an angel to him the answer. The devil fought for twenty-one days. Daniel persisted until the answer came. God had to send another angel to deal with the situation. May you need two angels to bring your miracle to you. May be you need to pray a little longer than you have been praying. Pray until the answer comes. Are you desperate for a miracle? Then, pray until the miracle comes.
MEMORIZE: PSALM 22:3 - But You are holy, Who inhabit in the praises of Israel.
