      me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou

        active aid."  E.M. Bounds

      as a privilege to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new 
      beauty."  E.M. Bounds 

24.  "I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at 
       some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, 
       probably the least I would have devised, it came."  Adoniram Judson 

25. "Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel 
       our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so
       bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our 
       own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in 
       which we can express our love for them." John Calvin

       Oswald Chambers 

27. "Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian." 
       Andrew Murray

28.  "The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts,
       and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can 
       be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline." Oswald Chambers

29. "Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all

       with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down 
       to earth." Andrew Murray

32. "...[the] power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God 
       by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He 
       who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his 
       disposal." Charles H. Spurgeon

33. "Prayer is a spiritual law which cooperates with the mind of God. It has more in
       it than merely petition. It clothes itself in reality and power, with the force of 
       God Himself. It is an attitude of spirit and mind. Language is secondary in true 
       prayer." Gossner.

34. “What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new 
       organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can 
       use— men of prayer, men mighty in prayer"  E.M. Bounds

35. "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
        Oswald Chambers.

36. "It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue

       we obtain an answer;  George Müller

37. “Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace 
       that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.”
         R. A. Torrey 

38. “Prayer can never be in excess.” C. H. Spurgeon

39. “The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says ‘Amen’ and runs 
       away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more  
       important than giving Him our ideas.” Frank Laubach

40. "Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone 
       gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to 
       do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God's messengers be 
       intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with 
       us." Andrew Murray

41.Yes, worship of the loving God is man’s whole reason for existence.” 
       A.W. Tozer

42. “The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and 
        satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may 
        delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very 
        God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.”  A.W. Tozer 

43. "Prayer is the secret of power."  Evan Roberts

44. "Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other
       work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit’s power might be 
       manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and 
       resources, and too little to the source of power."  Hudson Taylor

45. "Where there is no vision of eternity, there is no prayer for the perishing." 
       David Smithers

46. "Prayer is buried, and lost and Heaven weeps.  If all prayed the wicked would 
       flee from our midst or to the refuge." Evan Roberts

47. "Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a   
       dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees."  Leonard Ravenhill

48. He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the 
      day. John Bunyan
 
49. "Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a 
       minister. Pray, then my dear brother; pray, pray, pray."  Edward Payson

50. "Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. 
       Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His 
        redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect 
        great things!"  Andrew Murray

Christian worship the only true God of the Universe and it is always a blessing to live with Spiritual freedom in Christ.Unfortunately, there are still many people worshiping different kinds of idols in this world everyday.Since many people are still under the control of satanic power and therefore, deliverance prayer has became a focus in more and more intercession ministries in the last twenty years." How to pray and break the power of darkness with authority ?" is the major concern of this article and the following advices will be helpful for anyone who will involve in deliverance prayer and spiritual warfare.

1. Knowing your Spiritual Authority ?

    Christian will never be afraid of demons because our sin are all washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is dwelling among us. Whenever we command the demons to leave in the name of Jesus, all demons will leave.We don't have to perform a special ceremony for exorcism and making a big things out of it. All we have to do is to worship God just like what we always do and pray for any body in Christ who is may still under demonic oppression. Break that power of darkness within that person in Jesus mighty name and command the evil spirits to go away immediately, the process is just that simple.If you are not a Christian, you need to repent your sin and accept Jesus as your personal savior and become a Christian before you have this authority. The reason being that demons will only afraid of Jesus and those who has Jesus in their life. If you haven't been a born again Christian yet, don't even try to encounter in spiritual warfare like this.Only born again Christian has the authority to do that with the name of Jesus. We need to always start anything by invite the Holy Spirit to come and minister to the situation and all the people involved. we should also start with a prayer and ask Jesus to cover us with His blood before the whole process begins.

2. Knowing the 4 steps for deliverance prayer

    I will set 4 steps for deliverance as RFCC. what is RFCC ?

    R ------- means Repentance. Many people involved in spiritual bondage because of the following problems : generational curses (means the sin committed by your ancestors that will pass along unto you for three to four generation as stated in Exdous 34:6-7).Sin such as participated in witch craft ,astrology, fortune-telling, Ouija broad, Eastern meditation, Hypnosis, any forms of addiction or sexual related sin, etc.All these things needs to be deal with repentance before anyone can experience the power and the benefit of deliverance prayer in Jesus mighty name. You can just lead the Christian with the first part of deliverance prayer like that : Dear Heavenly Father, I am willing to repent for all the participation and worship activities which my ancestors have involved in the past and passed along to my life . And I am wiling to repent on all the participation I have previously involved with (the name of the practice one by one and states all of them).In Jesus name right now. I renounce all these worship and participation and ask for your forgiveness of my sin, right now, then continue......... to pray in the prayer in the F section in the following.

    F --------- means Forgiveness. For The Lord's prayer teach us that we need to forgive others as we have been forgiven by our heavenly Father (Matthew 6 :9-14). The second of deliverance prayer should be : Dear Heavenly Father, I ask for your forgiveness right now for all the sin that my ancestors have committed and passed along to me through the family bloodline. I declare that I forgive anyone who lead me to participate in all these activities that cause me to fall into the trap of the evil one because of all these evil action.And I also ask for your forgiveness right now, Lord ,for all the activities which I have previous involved in any occult worship such as (the name of the occult one by one)or and devil practice such as (the name of the practice one by one) in the past. Continue to pray ....... in the  C section in the following.

    C --------- means Cut Off. We have cut off all the relationship which we have involved in all the past in prayer. We can now lead that body in Christ  into the third part of deliverance prayer : Dear heavenly Father, I am willing to cut off all my past relationship with all the occult activities with (the name of the occult one by one) and with the devil practice with (the name of the activity one by one) right now and I will never involve with all these activities in the rest of my life  again. I declare that I am now cutting off all these relationships right now in Jesus name.Continue to pray in the following C section.

    C --------- means Come Out. The last step of the prayer and the most important step is to command each and every evil spirit to come out from that person's life one by one in Jesus name.The fourth step of the deliverance prayer should be  : In the name of Jesus I bind the spirit of (the name of the spirit), such as the spirit of astrology ) right now,  and I command the spirit of (the name of the spirit, such as the spirit of astrology, etc.) to come out from the body of (the name of of the person being praying for such as Danny, Julie,etc) right now. I command you to  leave at once and cannot return to ( the person's name) life again.

Note : If the spirit doesn't want to leave, you can keep on command the spirit to leave for a few more times because the evil spirit normally will try to struggle and not to leave in the beginning. That's why You need to keep on commanding the evil spirit to leave by saying "come out, right now, come out in Jesus name) and it will leave soon. At the same time, teach the person to keep on praying internally just in their mind and no need to say it out loud and declare words in their mind such as " I bind this spirit of (the name of the spirit) in Jesus name and I command you to leave my life right now and I only want Jesus in my life." With the intercessors command the evil spirit to leave from outside and the person's will and declaration from inside, the evil spirit will leave in a minute to a few minutes.Then repeat the commanding process for the rest of the spirits which is still staying in  that person until it is all gone. In the case of unsuccessful deliverance, we need to observe whether that person actually doesn't want the evil spirit to leave for some reasons or maybe it involves in some kinds of sin which hasn't been dealt with such as unforgiveness , bitterness , anger, etc.There are times ,We need to stop for a moment and ask the Holy Spirit for further guidance before we can go any further. Sometimes, we have to arrange for further appointment to pray with the person again.

Conclusion :

       We cast out the demons with the power of the Holy Spirit and by the name of Jesus alone and we need not be afraid in the whole process, for Jesus has already won the battle on the cross. Since it is a spiritual warfare and a prayer process, it is a good advice to minister with few more Christians whose willing to pray for that person together. More prayer will make the process faster and shorter. As a warning, I would say that don't try to talk to the spirit since the spirit will side track you with all the false information and confuse you with all the lies. So, don't waste your time to talk with the spirit but just command it to go away. If the person would speak to you with some kinds of wired voice, just tell the spirit to silence in Jesus name. Then the spirit can't control the person's vocal cord to confuse you anymore.we need to remember the Holy Spirit is in us and He is much more powerful than any evil spirit of the world. After the whole process (make it no more than 2 hours and choose another day if further prayer is needed, otherwise all the intercessors will be very tired and so does the person being pray for.) Prepare a small bag for the person to vomit if the person needs it when the spirit comes out . Sometimes, a box of tissue and a glass of water will be helpful as well whenever people may need it.You can always talk to the person ans ask how he or she is feeling during the process and make sure you are doing the right thing in your prayer. Open all your spiritual senses and always sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is showing about the person's situation through the word of knowledge at that moment.

      At last, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill that person again and ask the Lord to protect  and comfort the person when everything is finished. Give glory to God and bless each other before we leave.That's it ! I hope this article can be a blessing to you and to God be the glory.

    Note : It is always a good idea to follow other Christian mentor or pastors who has experience with this kind of prayer before you can do it on your own ( if you are new in this area.)

    
     

How To Pray Effectively ?



 Effective prayer is what we are talking about and how to pray effectively and get result from your prayers are the focus of this article.There are two types of praying Christians in this world.The first type is the one who will always pray and get result from what they pray for. The second type is the one who prays but never get any result from it.There are one question we need to ask today : Why does God answer some prayer faster than other ? Although we might not be able to find out all the answers but at least we can find out some of them. Let us try to find out from the Bible and put it in our daily life as well.


A.There are some Bible verses that will show us about effective prayer as follow :



1. Pray according to God's will : This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us -  whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15)


2. Pray with a righteous mind"…The prayer of a 
    righteous man is powerful and effective" 
                                                                                                                                 (James 5:16)


3. Keep on praying with a thankful heart : Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ  Jesus"  
                       (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)


4. Beware of your motive : When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" 
                                                                                                                                    (James 4:3)


5. Pray in the Holy Spirit : "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes  for us with groans that words cannot express"  
                                                                                                                          (Romans 8:26)


B.The teaching of Jesus about prayer : 


1. Faith will always be the key :


"'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'"
                                                                                                                     (Mark 11:22-25)


2. Pray in the name of Jesus :


"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13-14).


Conclusion :
After we have just grasped some basic principles on effective prayer and what Jesus has to say about prayer, we need to put it into practice. Let's say a prayer item today, just put all these in a prayer and see How God will answer your prayer. Your experience will help lots of people. God bless you.



How to pray for people with upper back pain ?

                                                                   


Healing can be easy if you know how ? I thought that healing through prayer was really hard in my past Christian year. I thought that only the most anointed Christian or Christian with the gift of healing could do it. After I have really study on the subject and I found that healing isn't that hard and it can be really simple and fun as well. recently, I have encounter some kinds of great teaching from Joan Hunter, Randy Clark, Bill Johnson and David Herzog as well. Among all these great servants of God, I found that Joan Hunter has the highest success rate and it is a teaching that every Spirit-filled Christian can do it. I would say that Joan's model is purely a prayer model that everyone can see instant result in most of the times. However, the other great servants of God are still worthy for us to learn from them as they all have their special expertise in healing and creative miracles as well. I am going to share a simple prayer method on how to pray for people with upper back pain in the following and I hope it will bless those who wants to learn to pray with instant result. You will find that the power of the Holy Spirit is amazing.

 
1. Prepare to pray
Ask the the person who wants to receive prayer to stand straight and relax with his or eyes open. At the same time, tell the person not to pray when you are praying for him or her. It is actually hard to receive and while praying at the same time. Some people think that have their eyes close will be better and concentrated in prayer but it will also make that person can't see the miracle happen right before his or her own eyes as well. That's why, just tell the person to keep his or eyes open and see what God will do for him or her.
2. Time to pray
Ask the person to extend both of his or her arms out to measure which arms are shorter than the other one. (In most cases but nit all,one arm will be shorter than the other one in the case of  upper back pain ). Be sure to have a small space between two arms and usually 1mm to 2 mm will do . You just want to make sure that when you command the shorter arm to grow out without getting stuck by the other arms , that's all.


3. Lay hand to pray
Lay one of your hand on the base of the scull of the person and speak in a normal tone that "I command the base of the skull to line up with every vertebrates at this back." Then speak " I curse the pain to be gone while laying hand on the same position (or command the pain to be gone if you don't want to use the term curse). After that, you command the muscles on the neck and all the way to the upper back and the upper chest to be relax (if you feel the person is so tense. If not tense, you can just skip this step.). Last and the most fun part, you command the shorter arm to grow and go back to the proper position and be even with the other arm. That's it.


Conclusion
You will then see the arm just grow out in a few second (wait for a while and ask the person to open his or her eyes and watch what will happen ) until it gets even with the other arm. However, if the arm just growing back and forth , never mind about it. Since The Holy Spirit or maybe the angel is doing the adjustment for the arms, it may take a few seconds for the arms to get even. Just relax and the arms will eventually grow and back to its proper position and be even with the other arm. Just don't worry and watch how fun it is. Tell the person to thank Jesus right away and then start to check his or her own back to see the back is completely heal. If there are still some pain leave, just lay hand on the back and command the pain to be gone completely. Usually when the arms are getting even, there should be no more pain leave on that person's upper back. Be sure you will give all the glory to God and praise God for His healing power. Try it, it is fun and it will happen all the times when you pray according to all the steps.You can pray it to yourself as well whenever you experience upper back pain.God bless you

Book Review on Supernatural Provision by Joan Hunter

Book Review on Supernatural Provision
(Living in financial Freedom) by Joan Hunter
" We received more miracle reports when Joan Hunter was a guest on Marylin Hickey's program during an interview."
                         
                                                         

                   Click the link from below to view the interview



       This is surely a book that is worthy to be read by any Christian who is willing to experience God 's supernatural provision in a powerful way on this planet in this century. I was first attracted by the interview which Sid Roth arranged with Joan Hunter on the most popular TV program in Day Star TV. When I started to read this book, I started to understand how God wants to blessing His children with prosperity at all times throughout the Bible. It was Satan who always wants to steal our blessing from God and it was never the heart of the Father who desires His children to live in poverty. In fact, we are always misunderstand the love of our heavenly Father who simply wants to bless His children at all times.Of course sin has also been mentioned in this book on how this problem can be an obstacle for our financial blessing from the heaven above.However, once we have deal with our sin and ask God for His forgiveness and repent on our sin of rebellion, He will just forgive our sin and blessing from heaven will just come like rain to our life like never before.
  

One of the most special teaching in this book is scriptural tithing. Joan Hunter surely understand what means by financial struggle in her early childhood and in her first marriage as well. However, financial hardship didn't stop her heart towards God. Joan Hunter has successfully shown us in this book that as we sow our seed according to specific Bible verses and as our tithing and offering are lining up with that particular scripture, we will always be blessed. I have to admit that each page will attract me to keep on reading forward and  want to know more as well. However, I think the miracles and all the testimonies involve in this books are the most attractive elements for any Christian who wants to experience God in a new way.

    Joan Hunter is truly a servant of God whom God is using powerfully not just in healing ministries but also in financial breakthrough as well. Joan 's ministries are experiencing financial miracle all the times and what she taught in this book is never a theory but a reality in her life and others as well. You will be amaze in how God can turn around your concept of tithing, offering, donation, faith and trust as well through this book. That's why I highly recommend this book any Christian who wants to experience  a financial breakthrough and miracle in his or her own life. As a matter of fact, I have just found out that someone has just purchased 10 of this book from my account without I really promoting it. I don't know why did that person needs to order 10 of this books for, but I do know one thing : only good book will attract such a fire for people to order that many of the same book. At least I am among one of the reader who can testified that this is really a treasure fro any Christian who wants to experience financial blessing from heaven.

Conclusion:

Don't for get to read any testimony at the end of this book for you will be encouraged and amaze on how God can perform miracle in our life. I can guarantee to you that once you have seen all these testimonies, you are going to shock by the love and powerful of God. That means your life will never be the same.May God bless you with this book.
