By Apostle George on Sunday, February 2, 2014 at 7:00am GSoM Course 130: Prayer, Fasting & Spiritual Warfare This course presents fresh insights to the issue of Prayer and Spiritual Warfare. This is a vital ministry and spiritual activity which, when misused and abused or wrongly applied produces negative fruit. We therefore find it necessary to present a biblical understanding of this vital ministry. Synopsis. In order to better understand this subject, these core questions need to be answered: · What is Prayer? · What are the linkages between prayer and the will of Yahweh? · In what way can we rightly describe intercession as the birthing of the will of Yahweh or partnering with Him to bring to pass His counsel? · What kind of example did Yeshua, Jesus leave us in the ministry of prayer? · What is the pattern of prayer He instructs? · Why are saints torn between setting aside the pattern Jesus taught and making it a rigid religious construct? What is Fasting? When and how is fasting to be added to prayers · What is spiritual warfare? · How do we distinguish between spiritual, spiritist, soulish and devilish operations in the arena of prayer and spiritual warfare? · What are doctrines of devils (demons) in the ministry of prayer and spiritual warfare? Lesson #.1. A. Definition Prayer is the lifestyle and act of communicating with Abba, our Father in heaven in order to worship Him and draw down His Divine Power intervention on earth. Linkages between Prayer and the will of Yahweh Our definition implies that Prayer is not just talking to Abba or dumping our needs on Him and hurrying out of His Presence. It implies rather that, by prayer, we take a posture of coming to Him to forge a strategic partnership through which His strength combines with our legal mandate as His assigns on planet earth to bring all things and events in line with His determinate Counsel. Understanding of some scriptures will usher us into a whole new dynamic in the arena of prayer and spiritual warfare: Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Commentary: Right in the first chapter of the Holy Bible, a critical truth which help us to pray with burden and authority is established. We are created in the image and likeness of Elohim and planted on earth to be His assigns or legal representatives. Look at this way: those who walk with Elohim, creator of the universe and align with Him in understanding of why He created them as expressed in this passage will come to a place where they have a healthy spiritual esteem of their mission and mandate. As Ambassadors of the Kingdom of heaven in the earth realm, they know instinctively that reporting for duty before the Throne of the Most High is a normal activity. No Ambassador can successfully represent a King if he has no real relationship. In the same way, no Ambassador can successfully represent a Kingdom without constant recourse to the Capital of his nation, no prayer warrior can represent heaven on earth without constant visitation to the Throne Room of the Most High! Genesis 2:15 (KJV) 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Commentary: Let this truth sink into us that we are planted in the earth realm to ‘dress it and keep it’. This means we cannot be indifferent to things happening anywhere on the face of this planet. We cannot assume that anything does not concern us. If we truly understand our Genesis 1:26-28 and Genesis 2:15 mandate, we will surely seek to know the will of Abba in ALL things so that we can align our will and prayers with same! Psalm 115:16 (KJV)16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lords: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. Commentary: This scripture establishes with finality, that the earth realm is given to humans to manage! We may not have political, economic, social or financial power as humans count such. But if we understand and walk in our spiritual standing as Legal Ambassadors of the Most High who created the earth and dare to constantly seek His will and purpose in everything and pray accordingly, He will simply use us to re-direct the course of life and natural events on earth! From the day that Yeshua, Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mary, heaven invaded the earth realm. The prophecy of the Seed of the woman who would crush the head of Satan was activated to be fulfilled on Calvary when Yeshua, Jesus pronounced with finality ‘It is finished’! Mankind is the legal assign of Yahweh to manage and rule the affairs of the earth. That legal right was stolen by the Devil through subtlety when he deceived Adam and Eve. At the Cross, Jesus broke that legal right Satan plucked off man and restored us to pre-eminence in Yeshua, Jesus. In teaching us how to pray, Yeshua made the will of The Father a fulcrum: Matthew 6:10 (KJV) 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. As long as our lives are under submission to Abba and as long as His Word is our will, we will pray prayers that are after His heart and we will receive His positive response. Spiritual mid-wives : In a real sense, those who truly pray act as spiritual mid-wives who posture themselves to know and bring to pass the counsel of the Most High in the earth realm! Prayer in the Spirit: It is for this reason that the Holy Spirit helps the infirmities of saints for two reasons. The first is that our finite minds may not always comprehend the infinite mind of Yahweh. Secondly, on a day to day basis, saints may have allowed clutter and cares of this life to block their spiritual senses. The Holy Spirit comes to our rescue at such times. Romans 8:26-27 (KJV) 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Implications of Prayer To pray therefore is to exercise confidence and trust in Yahweh our Father and to rely wholly on His ability to take care of the issues we bring to Him! Whatever therefore that keeps us away from communing consistently with Yahweh in prayer is actually part of the web of intrigue spurn by Satan to make saints lose their precious axe head! It is time to recover the axe head and begin to grow our prayer life to the degree that we all – regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status can literally demonstrate the Kingdom wherever we are on planet earth! The Kingdom to which we are called is not in words but in power so much so that the word “impossible” should never feature in the lexicon of saints. This is serious business, saints: we must rise up from slumber and go forth as Ambassadors of the King of Kings with the trade mark ability to call forth things that be not as if they were and see them manifested, because we dare to pray with importunity and unwavering faith, an inheritance from Abraham who secured the gift of righteousness or right standing with Yahweh by simply trusting Him and hanging on to His word of promise by prayer that is released in unwavering faith! Romans 4:16-22 (KJV) 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarahs womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Person of Strategic Interest continued. Please continue to pray for the key persons on earth in this generation, constantly setting a statute of limitation upon them by the authority of the Name and Power of the Blood of King Yeshua, Jesus.
