Acts 12:5. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

*There are spiritual mountains
*There are spiritual walls
*There are spiritual gates
*There are spiritual wicked men and women, watching and praying earnestly against you with the intenion to stop your advancement in life. Your prayer will stop their plans against you. Understand this day that somebody some where hates you.
* So your success naturally , your prosperity naturally, your victory naturally, your good health naturally is made possible through prayers. Jesus Christ was strong, powerful while here naturally because he recognized prayer as the key source. How do I call Him?Through Prayer. Prayer is one of the ways to call on Him.

*David said in Psalms 143:1. Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
*The prayer should be made based on spiritual understanding of purpose. Daniel’s break through naturally was through prayer. He was a man of prayer, they saw him pray all the time. He was known for this.

*Daniel 6:10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house: and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
If you pray, you will receive victory according to your faith and believe. Approach Him with faith without doubt in your heart. Also believe in your heart when you pray.

*Know your enemy; your enemy does not wish you well. This is your spiritual adversary making war against you in the spirit realm. Your prayer will demonish every satanic structure which is against you, to pull them down and out of your way.
Rom 12 :12. Rejoice in hope : patient in tribulation :continuing in prayer:
* “CONTINUING IN PRAYER”. BREAK THROUGH COMES TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF PRAYING AND WAITING ON GOD FOR THE APPOINTED TIME. One of the most vital keys to victory in spiritual warfare is to know your enemy.
For we wrestle not against…

*It is very important that you know who you are fighting with. Know his purpose. Which area is the devil attacking you. May be your finances, your health, your family, your business, he dose not want you to make progress in life. When you know this, use the word of God to knock the devil out in the Name of Christ Jesus. Victory is yours.

*You are praying to help yourself because you desire to succeed in life, so persistence in prayer is that you want to fulfill your destiny with fruitfulness naturally.
2 Sam 3:1. Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

*THE SECRET HERE IS PRAYER. David himself was also a man of prayer. Prayer creates heat to melt your enemy’s plans and purpose. You pray with purpose because you want to see the purpose of God mainfest in you. Through prayer you bind all the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly realm.

*The more you pray, the more your enemy becomes weak. VICTORY IS YOURS IN CHRIST.

*PRAYER MAKETH INTERVENTION POSSIBLE. ISAIAH 37:14-15. And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the Messengers, and read it:and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying….
He approach the Lord through prayer because he knew that it is only God that can help him.
ISAIAH 37:20-21. Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdom of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, even thou only.
He came to God with confidence in his heart.

*Hezekiah obtained victory because he approached God with faith in his heart. He also believed that the Lord was able. Hezekiah had a walking relationship with the Lord. Your enemy will bow to you, not because of you, but because of who is in you. You are big inside.

*Mark 11:24. Therefore I say unto you, this is Jesus speaking, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
God has blessed YOU SPIRITUALLY, but for it to become a reality naturally, your prayer is needed as supernatural requriement to release your Blessing.
*KNOWLEDGE OF THE WILL OF GOD WILL PROVOKE YOU TO MAKE PRAYER AS PART OF YOUR LIFE. ABSENCE OF REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE WILL MAKE YOU GROW WEARY. BUT KNOWLEDGE WILL GUIDE YOU TO SEE PRAYER AS YOUR SOURCE OF VICTORY, SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY.

*Understand that satan is not playing games with you but you are joking with your destiny because you do not know who satan is. Jesus was able to fulfilled His God given purpose. He finished the assignment without disappointing the One who sent Him. He obeyed God unto the end. He never stopped praying. The devil could not stop Him. Satan tried but he failed.

*Determine through the force of prayer that you may supernaturally weaken and defeat your enemy. Use the force of prayer to claim your victory. You must destroy his plans to enforce and establish the will of God for yourself. This is your responsibility. Apply the force of prayer to force your enemy out of your territory. Two Spiritual principle characters to make you strong.
*Growing with the written word of God by way of Spiritual development. Circumstances will bow before you in the Name of Christ Jesus.
*Learn to pray using the word of God. Prayer delievered Jacob from the hand of his brother Esau.
*1TIMOTHY 1:18.This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mighest war a good warfare.
As born again Christian, you are called out from the dominion of darkness, it is a call to walk with God and a call for Spiritual warfare if you must win.

*Paul had to remind Timothy. You will win, you will see victory, you will see the manifestation of the promises of God come to pass in your Life because you recognize the need to stand in the place of prayer. Jesus said, man should not live only on bread but as a citizen of the kingdom put on the spirit of prayer and of intercession. Prayer will make all things possible for you.

*You will take delivery of your goods which he stole from you.
2CORIN10:3-6. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds:) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ: And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. The truth is that we are daily confronted with issues of life. In short, life is full of challenges. You will be able to handle challenges through the written word of God and with prayer.

*Ifyou are born again, you have spiritually exchanged kingdom. You left the kingdom of darkness for God’s kingdom.
A journalist went to Kathryn Kuhlman’s crusade. Seeing the supernatural manifestation of God’s power in the meeting, he desired to find out the secret, and to know the source of power. He started searching from one place to the another. Suddenly, he heard a voice of people praying and making intercession for the crusade. As he open the door, he saw women praying.
All things will be possible for them who pray. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against….
For the devil is walking about seeking….

*EVERY ONE ANY WHERE IN THIS WORLD PLANNING FOR YOUR DOWN FALL, THEY WILL FALL BY THEIR OWN PLANS. THEY WILL FIGHT WITH YOUR SHADOW.

* YOU will over throw your enemy with the force of prayer.
JUDGES 9:36. And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, be hold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
To succeed in life as the righteous naturally is not a matter of bread and butter.

*You should be willing to pay the price through prayer. Strategically position yourself through the word of God which is full of the anointing and power to make war against those who said you will not be.

*THEY WILL NOT BE, BUT YOU WILL BE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. FOR GREATER IS THE ONE WITH YOU. Take the key of prayer that you may prevail over your enemy. With the help of the Holy Spirit you will prevail. Through prayer you will quench all spiritual forces of wickedness.

*PSALMS 5:1-3.Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my king, and my God :for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord :in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
Meaning as I PRAY, I will also trust in Him. Victory is yours.
