Funny title isn’t it? I bet you’re thinking this will be a blog about money or social status but you would be wrong. The intent of this blog is to encourage you and hopefully help change your perspective on prayer.

Too many times our faith has been crushed by unanswered prayers. Even to the point that some of you have even stopped praying all together because in your mind there’s no use, it’s just a waste of time, nothing you pray for gets answered anyways right?

So let’s look at a few things about who we are in Christ.

Although in Isaiah 64:6 it says, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

But…Isaiah 54:17 says – “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises up against you in judgement, You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. And their righteousness is from ME says the Lord.”

 

Our righteousness, our ability to speak things into existence is our inheritance from God! Here are some things to look at:

  • Before your faith can rise up enough to believe that your prayers will happen, you first have to believe who you are in Christ!
  • When you pray, do you pray expecting and believing that as you speak, your words are putting things in motion in the heavenly?
  • All too often we are quick to pray without having the faith to believe what we are praying for is Gods will.
  • What is God’s will? HIS WORD! So when you pray, do you have the scriptures that back up your request? Sometimes it is better NOT to pray right away, but instead, spend time with God and read the Word until your faith rises up in you and you know Gods will for your life.

Deep I know…Ready to go deeper?

  • I have prayed prayers like this before, “Oh God, if it be Your will, help me to make enough money that I can pay my light bill and mortgage payment. Now I never want to be out of Your will, so if this great job is not what I need, don’t allow it to happen, just give me the grace and determination to make it without it.”

NO! NO! NO!!!!!

No wonder I lived in poverty my entire life!! Look at Gods WORD!

Matthew 6:10 says, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!

So my question was, what is heaven like?

REVELATION 21:4 says:

  1. No sickness/ disease
  2. No death or pain and suffering
  3. No more tears or sorrows
  4. Mansions (John 14:2)
  5. Cities with streets made out of gold (Revelation 21:21)
  • We are praying the problem and NOT the answer!

Matthew 6:7 -8 says, “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” PRAY THE ANSWER!!

I cannot tell you how much my prayer life has changed since I’ve received this word! Now, I pray, “Lord I’m thanking You for this great job, Your Word declares You own the cattle on a thousand hills. Your will is for us to live a healthy, prosperous life. Lord I’m thanking You that every day when I wake up, I will walk in Your favor. Promotions and divine connections are coming my way. I am enlarging my tent so when they come, I will be ready. I thank you Lord for all of my many blessings and I believe and declare that the best is yet to come in Jesus Name, Amen!

This is by no means the depth of it all, but if I can get you to change your thought about prayer, you will start engaging in learning more about the correct way to pray.

My prayers have gone from rags to riches! I now have a Kingdom mindset!

I am the righteousness in Christ!

No weapon shall be formed against me and prosper!

The Lord goes before me and makes my path straight!

Tired of your prayers not getting answered…Take your prayers from rags to riches!!!
