Pray Simply

Sometimes we get in our own way with complicated prayers. We begin to pray and give God specific instructions on how to solve the circumstance we are in. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9 "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,' says the Lord."  Our role is to understand that God doesn’t need your instruction, He needs you to ask Him and then have faith to trust the process. Here are a few easy bullet points to guide you when you are praying:

1. Ask the Holy Spirit for help - He is your guide.

2. Trust the process - it is part of your journey.

3. Declare God’s Word over your circumstance in your prayers.

4. Have Faith that He hears you and His Word is powerful and never changes. He will do what He says He will do!

5. Anticipate and expect clarity, peace, courage and- most importantly- breakthrough!

Read the Word

The Bible says in John 10:10 "The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” You cannot battle the plans of the enemy and pray powerful prayers if you do not know what God's Word says. It’s clear that we will have trials and challenges . We are told that Satan’s purpose is to destroy God’s plans for our lives. It is vital to know the Bible. Every single answer you need is in God’s Word. It provides you with all of the instructions you need to walk through all of your circumstances in victory and joy. 

Pray Expectantly

Faith plays a key role in your breakthrough prayers. You must trust and believe what God says. Praying with expectancy is a way to activate your faith. In Isaiah 55:11 God says "It is the same with My word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it."  Faith doesn’t go by feelings and it doesn’t go by circumstances that are contrary to what God says. Stand on God’s word and expect that He will move the mountain for you if you believe.
