You know, there is learning how to pray and training how to pray. You may learn how to Pray but when you are not trained how to pray. There is someone who can have the word, quoting scripture to scripture, yes, he can pray but cannot sustain it even for thirty minutes.
If your soul does not have a force to back it up, then, anything will control it. You can learn how to pray but if you have learned, then, train how to pray. When you train, you can be consistent. But training goes as far as sensitivity that you pray and you sense that what I have prayed for, I have made it cross.
You can have that ability that when you mention something, you sense the force that stands against it and when you sense because you are trained, you know where to touch. You touch this, you realize it is not going, and you touch the other one, until you get the code that will take it away.
Will it be worship, repentance, war prayer, a spiritual direction, an act of faith, or will it be a certain word? So, if you are trained, your spirit will be sensitive. There is where you need to mention a certain name to have a breakthrough.
So, prayers have levels. there are different levels. But if you are consistent with the same level, the enemy will master you know where you stop, and then deal with you properly. The forces of the enemy also sit and plan against you. They say, “You see that person is a very great person, if that person gets to the purpose, our kingdom shall be destroyed.” So, they concentrate on you to make you feel that you are nothing. They make you feel hopeless and purposeless, and yet the person in you is extremely great.
If you have a bigger calling, then the battle for your destiny is big.
Biblical illustration
Look at the case of our LORD Jesus Christ, when He had just been born, the enemy tried so hard. They even killed all the other kids because of Him.
Look at the case of Moses, the same story. All the kids were killed because of one boy. When you have a big purpose, the war of life against you is bigger than you think. If you have any purposed child, get to know you are going to fight to see that the child gets there. People will hate you from nowhere. Someone looks at you and feels bitter, because the dragon and the beast have entered the person.
Do not think anyone hates you because of you. It is because of the enemy who has seen what is inside you.
When you come here to Holy City Entebbe and you have a demon in you, when I come in, the first thing you feel is anger. That is how the beast and the dragon manifest. If you check people who have backslid because of negative energies, or ancestors have taken them away, one of the signs; they have bitterness. You get to know that the enemy has taken over.
That is how it is for anyone who has a serious purpose. That is why, God gives you power, there is nothing that is above the Power God has given you. There is nothing above it to fail His Purpose in you but you need to train your spirituality. You train, so that you can sustain a prayer for two hours and still feel strong but some people pray for thirty minutes and feel tired.
The enemy of our destiny sits down and plans about you. He realizes your weakness; for example, he can decide to give you anger so that whenever he wants to fail, frustrate or access you, he uses anger.
The enemy will try to use that weakness on a routine basis just to keep you on the same level but if you are a child of prayer, you know how to go about it. You train yourself how to pray deep devotions, how to pray normal prayers and how to make interjections in simple prayers. You be on your bed, and speak in your heart, one word for thirty minutes without opening your lips but when you are speaking loud in your heart.
If your heart can speak, then you have broken that deep hindrance that would fail you to pray, someone can find you closing your eyes but when you are in a different realm. You are training it, and on the training, you are speaking one word, “Your Mercy oh LORD.” Until you feel it circulating your system. Then the emptiness in you will go away and when the emptiness goes, your mind will be cleaned.
There are those who think of obscene things but it begins with the empty heart. So, when you train, even on your bed you can speak and pray for about an hour, consistently; you do not have to touch this and that, “God give me this and that, I have suffered,” you can say one word, “Your Mercy oh LORD.” one word can change 1000 things.
When you train yourself to pray for longer hours, your ability to do that will scare the enemy away from you. The enemy will be scared away. But you pray as if your giving God a speech. After praying, they ask, “What have you prayed for?” When you cannot even remember what you prayed for.
You train how to pray. There is nothing impossible. It just requires you to touch the right thing. When you train, that energy will drive away the enemy that is standing as a hindrance.
Biblical illustration:
For Mary to help Jesus Christ, she was a woman of prayer. That woman prayed so seriously. Mary, that was her biggest work, to pray. Until her Son became what He was meant to become. Otherwise, the enemy tried several times to destroy Him at His Childhood levels.
So, friend, you may despise yourself and see yourself valueless, but that is not the real you. There is no one God created as useless. At your assignment in life, you lack nothing. God prepared everything for you but you walk by prayer.
Walking by prayer means walking by Spirit. You pray your way through until one day when you will see what you longed for. Time comes that even all these things people are yearning for, you start seeing them as nothing. Then now you begin seeing the real you.
You do not commit suicide because the bank has taken your house because you have known who you are. You have known your value but that value is divine. The enemy has covered you with some dust to think that is where you are meant to be. “In our family, we are poor, we do not get married.”
You find that a person is veiled by situations. Friend, I advise you, to be careful of the photo you carry. If you cannot deliver a person, do not carry their photo. It carries powers. The day you will get sensitivity, you will realize those forces.
When we are praying for the sick, God apportions you people based on the power you have to handle them.
Things of the Spirit are so sensitive. That you do not enter into what you cannot do. You are encountering a force that you should be able to manage. That is why whenever Christ could pray for the sick, He used to spend the whole night awake and praying. That is the truth. So, do not carry the luggage you cannot handle.
You know the story of the seven sons of Sceva, when they saw Paul praying for the sick, they also went to do it. They had faith in what Paul was doing and they said, “In the Name of Jesus Christ whom Paul serves, you demons come out!” the demons responded because they called the Name of Jesus Christ. When they came out, they devoured them and went naked. The demons truly came out of those people but when they came out, they dealt with those guys.
So, friends, these spiritual things are very sensitive. You can destroy yourself and you find your life very miserable. So, whenever you are praying for someone, what you should know in mind is that you are encountering forces. They will fight you.
Learn how to pray, after learning, train how to pray. Let your heart speak. You close your eyes and let your heart speak. “Your Mercy LORD.” If your heart is empty, begin by speaking with your mouth, until it gets inside you, and let your heart speak. Then it means, you have opened up the lips of your heart. In that when you enter prayer, it will not come out of your mind. It will come out of your soul and that is where the Power dwells.
Business league
When you are working and have a business, in most cases, it is very important to deal with people who agree with you in spirit. It is not easy to find them, but God gives you the Grace to get the person.
If you are doing any business, have some people, if you are employing, and you want to progress, have some people you agree with in Spirit. That will bless you. Someone can come into a company and it collapses. When it is not a bad person, it can be a very active person but injured by the background. They are very active but whatever they touch fails. Haven’t you ever seen someone who cooks food and removes it from the cooker then it gets spoiled immediately?
Some people do not know that evil prayers are equivalent to witchcraft. Do not make evil prayers. Pray your way out. You are someone; look at the person you are. Do not look at someone whom they say. Enemies will always be there. Do not even waste your time with enemies. They will always be there. Focus on your way and pray according to that.
Illustration:
Do not say, “Enemies are too much.” There is my young girl who went to preach somewhere. She went and got a job because in the church the battles were too much. Even where she went to get a job, God made sure the battles were too much. She said, “Can I leave the job?” I did not reply. Shortly in the house where she stayed, her sisters and aunties, the battles were still too much. She said, I left my home and found a place to rent, I came to my people, battles are too much. Today I sent her a message, “Life is full of battles.”
So, choose the battle to fight. Either the battle of the family, your workplace or you go back and fight the Lord’s battle.
As long as you are still breathing, battles are there. You battle with people. You battle with your body, battle with your mind so that is why you shift all the focus to Christ and just move as if you do not know anything else.
Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace
