How To Pray Effective Prayers

READ AND MEDITATE ON Mark 11:12-14

12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

KJV

Jesus was hungry, he found a fig tree He wanted to eat from but the fig tree was without fruits. He did not complain or ask God any question instead, He cursed the disappointed tree! Haven done that, He did not bother whether the curse had any impact on the tree or not. He left the scene. How often we always looked for some abracadabra whenever we pray asking for a divine intervention!

On the following day, the Disciples observed that the cursed tree had been withered from the tree and Peter called His attention to the tree. Jesus then taught them what Faith does in prayer. Jesus said, “Have faith in God.” Some old version of the Bible have it this way “Have the God kind of Faith.”

Then Jesus began to teach them how to pray effective prayers:

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

WHAT TO BE DONE:

1.       Put your mouth into action thru declaration

2.       No matter how difficult the situation looks like, just ask it to shift or respond to your command and it would be done. Jesus used mountain that looked impossible. This means nothing is impossible with faith.

3.       Then you must believe that what you pray for is possible. Often, people pray and still doubt the possibility of their prayers!

4.       You must know that God will not answer the prayer which you have doubted!

5.       Then you must forgive whoever might have wronged you if you want your prayer to be effective.

6.       Do it now and watch God moves on your behalf.

7.       Stop asking God to do this or that for you. He has given you the authority to command those things you desire.

8.       Quit complaining instead speak to the unpleasant situation. That is what Jesus did.

In the mighty name of Jesus, whatever that is standing as a mountain before whoever is reading this in faith, I ask it to shift into the ocean Now! Thank You Lord because I believe it is so. Because I prayed in Jesus name. AMEN.

9.       Share your testimonies with me. SHALOM.
