Intercession is not begging God to have mercy on sinners; it is standing against the devil who blinds their minds.

Praying for the Lost

• Prayer is not just about asking for needs — it is also about standing in the gap to keep people from destruction.
• Believers are called to use prayer as a weapon to resist the devil’s attempts to drag people into hell.
• The Gospel itself is the power of God for salvation, but prayer plays a role in preparing hearts to receive it.
• Christians can pray against deception, hardness of heart, and the lies of the enemy that keep people from believing.
• Prayer does not force God to save anyone; instead, it releases spiritual power that removes obstacles, allowing people to choose Christ freely.
• Our responsibility in prayer is to cooperate with God’s will for salvation, not to try to convince Him to care about the lost.

The heart of prayer, the heart of salvation, the heart of Christianity itself—is intimacy with God.

The Primary Purpose of Prayer

• Prayer’s ultimate purpose is a relationship with God, not just requesting needs.
• Adam and Eve modeled prayer as communion with God before sin entered the world.
• Reducing prayer to petitions makes it mechanical and self-centered.
• True prayer aligns requests naturally with God’s will through intimacy.
• Intimacy is the heart of salvation—eternal life is knowing God personally (John 17:3).
• Many replace intimacy with religious duty or busyness in ministry.
• Prayer nurtures fellowship, makes salvation a daily experience, and keeps prayer vibrant.
• Without intimacy, prayer is lifeless; with intimacy, it becomes powerful and transforming.

When you see God as a loving Father, prayer becomes a joy, not a struggle.

Good God

• Many Christians view God as harsh, distant, or stingy, but Jesus revealed Him as a loving Father.
• Earthly parents, though imperfect, still desire to bless their children—how much more does our perfect heavenly Father delight to care for us?
• Wrong teachings that portray God as the source of sickness, tragedy, or lack distort His true nature.
• Seeing God as a good Father builds faith and confidence in prayer, replacing fear and doubt.
• When you truly believe in God’s goodness, you stop begging and start receiving with boldness.
• God’s love is far greater than human love—He gives freely and abundantly to His children.

God never told you to speak to Him about your mountain. He told you to speak to your mountain.

Speak to Your Mountain

• Jesus cursed the barren fig tree, teaching that faith-filled words have power.
• Prayer is not just talking to God but also speaking with authority to circumstances.
• Many Christians miss results by describing problems to God instead of addressing them directly.
• God has already released His power; we activate it by commanding circumstances to align with His Word.
• Jesus told us to speak to the mountain rather than pray about it.
• Silent belief isn’t enough—faith must be spoken aloud.
• Words of authority, rooted in God’s promises, release spiritual power and bring results.

Praising God in the face of problems isn’t denial — it’s declaring that He is bigger than your problems.

Shouting Your Praise

• Praise is a powerful form of prayer that defeats the enemy and magnifies God.
• When you face challenges, shouting praises to God releases your faith and shifts your focus away from problems.
• Praise isn’t about ignoring difficulties but about exalting God above them.
• Biblical examples (like Jericho’s walls falling after the people shouted) show that praise is a weapon of victory.
• Shouting to the Lord is not emotionalism; it’s a declaration of trust in God’s power and faithfulness.
• Joyful, vocal praise strengthens the believer, silences the enemy, and invites God’s manifest presence.

God is more eager to answer your prayers than you are to ask them.

Ask & Receive

• Jesus taught that those who ask receive, those who seek find, and those who knock have the door opened (Matt. 7:7–11).
• Asking in prayer is not about begging but about confidently receiving what God has already provided in Christ.
• You don’t receive because you either fail to ask or you ask with doubt and unbelief.
• God gives good gifts to His children—far better than any earthly father can give.
• Prayer works when it is rooted in faith, expectancy, and trust in God’s goodness.
• Persistence in prayer is not about wearing God down but about staying in faith until the manifestation comes.

The problem isn’t God’s willingness, it’s our unbelief and the devil’s opposition.

The Variable 

• Daniel’s prayers show God answers instantly in the spirit, but physical manifestation can vary.
• One prayer was answered in minutes, another was delayed by demonic opposition.
• The variable is never God but the enemy’s resistance or the believer’s faith.
• You probably assume that God delays answers, but hindrances come from Satan.
• Jesus broke Satan’s power, giving you authority to overcome opposition.
• Unlike Daniel, New Covenant believers can resist the devil directly.
• Doubt, unbelief, and passivity can allow delays to persist.
• Effective prayer stands firm in faith and removes hindrances by using Christ’s authority.

God is always the giver — the question is, are we receivers?

You Have God’s Direct Line

• Prayer is not about persuading God to give—He has already made provision through Jesus.
• Receiving from God requires faith: believing His Word, standing on His promises, and refusing to waver.
• You may be struggling because you approach God with doubt or condemnation, unsure if He will answer.
• God is always willing; the issue is on your side—whether you believe and position yourself to receive.
• Boldness in prayer comes from knowing who you are in Christ, not from our performance.
• As a believer you have the capacity to receive directly from God without needing someone “more spiritual” to pray for you.

In conclusion, you’ve now seen how prayer works best when rooted in faith, authority, and intimacy with God. Don’t settle for tradition or doubt—step boldly into the better way to pray. How? Begin applying these truths today and watch your prayer life transform.
