The Believers Pray for Boldness


Prayer is an action word!
Prayer isn’t about you receiving but acting!
Prayer is the avenue for our faith to be put in God!

PRAYER is the place authority is given to expand territory.
PRAYER is the place revelation is given to do that new thing you’ve been dreaming about that you’ve never done before.
PRAYER is the place solutions are given to issues that have been in your family, city and nation forever.
PRAYER is the place bondages are broken because repentance, tears and Godly sorrow takes place.
PRAYER is the place that power, might and strength is given to stand firm and take down giants!
Prayer is the place victory is won before the battle has even begun!
All the things you need and desire are unlocked in the place of prayer!

Prayer is defined as: petitioning God, bringing your petitions before him.

Throughout the word of God we see prayer used as seeking God’s favor, pouring out our souls to the Lord and crying out to heaven, drawing near to the Lord to encounter Him and kneeling before the Lord or submitting ourselves to Him, humbling ourselves to Him.
1. PRAYER MUST BE CONSISTENT
2. PRAYER MUST BE PRIVATE
- The word of God tells us over and over that Jesus went into the wilderness or barren, away places to pray.
A consistent prayer life with the lord produces what you can’t do on your own, and what you don’t want to do on your own! It keeps you awake!

A lack of a consistent prayer life with the lord produces the opposite, what you would never want to happen in your life, sin, disobedience, spiritual failure, room for demonic strongholds, etc. A void of a prayer life allows you to fall asleep!
WE ARE IN AN HOUR NOW TO STAY AWAKE AND PRAY!
3. PRAYER MUST BE CORPORATE
The offering/the gift that is brought before our King, what He waits to smell, hear, see and take in, are the prayers of His bride! When His bride comes together in unity crying out to Him, blessing Him, putting their faith in Him, it’s an aroma like none other! Nothing can fill that vessel other than the corporate cries of His bride!
PRAYER IS ITS OWN SOUND!

PRAYER IS ITS OWN PLEASING SCENT TO THE LORD!

PRAYER BRINGS FORTH MOVEMENT IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH!
You may worship Him, you may talk to Him, you may serve Him, you may praise Him, you may give Him all the glory for what He’s done in your life… but none of that can take the place of prayer!
