today the 14th day of our suleiman assembly is your third day in my prayer closet i open my prayer closer to you on sunday and we spend quality time in there on monday and by god's grace we'll do same today and tomorrow will be ourselves goodbye because we have stayed long enough i will interpret that to my sons and daughters in south africa one line and several from other nations of the earth when you come to greet me in my house and i welcome you and i take a big tuber of yarn and cutting it bit by bit and i assure you that well since you came i took that long tube of yam the headpiece is what is left i'm telling you it's time to go home johnny liverpool are participating you have been around in my prayer closet now for three days and tomorrow i'm prepared to beat you goodbye because you have received enough revelation and insight to set up your own functional and result oriented prayer closer can i hear amen what you have received so far is a pattern and i encourage you to set your own prayer closet properly and not haphazardly as your pastor i've pulled myself out these past few days to give you the pattern that i received from the lord as paul said to the corinthian church please imitate me as i imitate christ you're not supposed to follow anyone blindly you've got to be sure in your spirit that they're still following christ give me first corinthians 11 verses 1 and 2. first corinthians 11 verses 1 and 2 imitate me just as i also imitate christ how i praise now i praise your brethren that you remember me in all things and keep what that traditions just as i delivered them to you not all traditions are evil it is the traditions that make the word of god of non-effect that you reject make sure you cling to the traditions that are delivered to you as i shared with you last night god gave the pattern of the tabernacle to moses and when it was built according to that pattern the glory of the lord filled the tabernacle god did shame with david he gave him the pattern of the temple to david when solomon his son built it according to pattern the glory of the lord filled it but jesus did not give any written pattern in terms of blueprint architectural blueprint any blueprint of the church or any person he gave the church human pattern philippians 3 17. philippians 3 17 brethren the followers together of me and mark them which work so as you have asked for an example can you give me an nkjv please i didn't give you kjv if you look in your bible it's nkjv thank you brethren join in following my example and know those who so work as you have us is not talking of an individual everyone who administered in the course of this solemn assembly had value to add to you and they can depart from the pattern they are given i can depart from the pattern christ has given me if they begin to depart from the pattern i receive or i depart from the pattern christ has given me then a housing fighter against itself cannot stand you have us as a pattern here paul's admonition to timothy in second timothy chapter three you'll gain understanding when i get to where i'm going because we learned so many things in the past and they are beginning to confuse us in the present and i trust god it would resolve all confusion and remove every doubt from your heart that god is a prayer answering god paul said to timothy in 2nd timothy 3 10-17 but you have carefully followed my doctrine i've told you anytime you see doctrines in the bible it's not of god it's not of the apostles it will be doctrines of the devil or doctrines of men you see doctrine of god doctrine of jesus doctrine of apostles it's not just their teaching is their lifestyle but you have or carefully followed my doctrine manner of life purpose faith long-suffering love perseverance persecutions afflictions which happened to me at antioch at iconium at leicester where persecutions are endured and out of them all the lord delivered me yes and i don't think you like this portion of the scripture yes and all who desire to live godly in christ jesus we suffer persecution but evil men and imposters we grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived but you must do what no matter what is happening all around you no matter who is spending the gospel compromising what you have received and trying to twist it this way and that way you continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of knowing from whom you have learned them at the appropriate time i will show you hebrews 13 7 and 8 to see that everything you do you learn from someone the way you walk the way you talk you may not be aware of it the way you do your things you have learned from someone until you begin to get your own and they are yours sometimes you walk like your dad and sometimes you talk like your mom and sometimes you behave like your teachers you understand me we learn from people i'm still a learner i keep on learning and i'll keep on learning because when you stop learning you start dying i want to appeal to you by the mercies of god follow the pattern and if the holy spirit shows you greater and better things build on that pattern can i hear amen since i brought you into my prayer closet i've shared with you two out of the four simple rules that govern my prayer life this evening i will do another quick valuable summary or the first two each time i do that i'm not wasting your time i'm giving you other things that i didn't say before they were there but i held them onto the appropriate time i'll do a quick valuable summary of the first two rules before we proceed to rule number three and rule number four that govern my prayer life time permitting us this evening tonight is just to make ethical adjustments so that you don't have any confusion when you stand in the presence of god and when you speak you receive a response from him it's not that you do just talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and heaven does not respond if we do not finish today we'll do so tomorrow by god's grace rule number one prayer is a dialogue between man and god prayer is a dialogue between man and god so i do not engage myself before god in a monologue or soliloquy i don't just want to be there and pray for three four hours and and nothing happens heaven is not saying anything holy spirit is not speaking to me nothing is quicker in my spirit i'm just praying and praying and praying now you are praying but that's not prayer prayer is a dialogue between man and god it's like you make a phone call and there's a click on the other side but there's no response no voice you redial again you redial again when you receive no response it's either you're cut off or you have what i call network issues but in our walk with god it is sin and rebellion issues and i want to open certain areas to you today that could become a major hindrance to answer prayers that have not said either to but let's look at jeremiah 33 verse 3 again jeremiah 23 3 call to me hello who is speaking here call to me and i will answer you so when you call to him and you do not receive an answer that's no prayer call to me and i will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know so when i call god or call on god i expect an answer since he promised you to do so if there is no answer i pause to check what is wrong why is there silence from god's side friends i found out long ago that a major interest to answer prayers is one man's disposition or a woman's disposition to his or her spouse god is looking the one who created the eyes will he not see the one who created the ears really not here god sees the way you are treating your spouse and you come to this place of prayer and you're shouting and you're screaming and you're praying in terms and heavenly silence because of the way you've been treating your spouse you may pray or you wish that god will not answer because it sees how you maltreat your spouse unfortunately this has become like a common flu in supposedly christian homes especially those who marry wrong let me open it to you make it plain as simple that these are major bottlenecks there are hindrances to answer prayers ezra chapter 9 verse 1-15 please pay attention ezra 91-15 when these things were done the leaders came to me saying the people of israel and the priests and the levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with respect to the abominations of the canaanites the heteis the parasites the jebusites the ammonites the moabites the egyptians and the amorites but they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons so that the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of these lands indeed the hand of the leaders and rulers have been formosed in this trespass so if you're a ventura chain smoker how do you correct your son that smoking is dangerous the leaders have been foremost in this trespass so when i heard this thing i tore my garment and my roll and plugged out some of the hair on my head and beard and shut down astonished do you consider this serious anymore in the church then everyone would tremble at the words of the god of israel assembled to me because of the transgression of those who had been carried away crap to you and i sat astonished onto the evening sacrifice at the evening sacrifice i rose from my fasting and haven't turned my garment on my robe this is a serious business i fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the lord my god and i said oh my god i'm too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to you my god for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads you are drowning and our guilt has grown up to the heavens since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty and for iniquities we our kings our priests have been delivered to the hand of the kings of the land to the vulture to captivity to plunder and to humiliation as it is this day and now for a little while grace has been shown from the lord our god to leave us a remnant to escape and to give us a peg in his holy place that our god may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage for we were slaves yet our god did not forsake us in our bondage but he extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of pasha to revive us to repair the house of our god to rebuild these rings and to give us a wall in judah and jerusalem and now our god what shall we say after this we are forsaking your commandments which you commanded by yourself and the prophets saying the land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land with the uncleanness of the peoples of the land with their abominations which are fielded from one end to another with their impurity now therefore do not give your daughters as wives to their for their sons not take their daughters to your sons and never seek their peace of prosperity that you may be strong and eat the good of the land and leave it as an inheritance to your children forever and after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt since you are god have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such deliverance as this should we again should we again break your commandments and joining marriage with the people committing these abominations would you not be angry with us until you had consumed also that there will be no remnant of survivor oh lord god of israel you are righteous for we are left as a remnant as it is this day here we are before you in our guilt no no one can stand before you because of this so if you can't stand in his presence how do you communicate with him do you know in church today you are trying to tell a person don't be unequally yoked with an ungodly person you don't have anything to do with an unbeliever to marry them you can pray for them you can witness to them you have no businesses well my heart and my soul i really feel i really love i really care hey hey satan will be your father-in-law there will be no peace between you and god thereafter because you are violating his word what was the cure of this problem i'm going somewhere following me ezra chapter 10 verse 1 to 4 ezra 10 1-4 now while ezra was praying and while he was confessing weeping and buying that this is a serious matter do our young people consider this as serious while it was confessing whipping and binder before the hands of god a very large assembly of men women and children gathered to him from israel for the people waved how very bitterly and sheikh and i had the son of jaheim one of the sons of alam spoke up and said to ezra we have trespassed against our god and i've taken pagan wines from the peoples of the land yet now there's hope in israel in spite of these now therefore let us make a covenant with our god to put away what all these wives and those who have been born to them according to the advice of my master and of those who tremble at the commandment of our god and let it be done according to the lord you can read the whole the rest of ezra chapter 10 they had to do it the priest had to put the wives away one of the grounds of the verse back then is if you marry an ungodly person if you do not want to pray with your life you let her go what why what what what business do you have even hanging around with the ungodly as to we are dating are you a date palm did adam date eve you're not talking to me the joseph date astronaut did isaac date rebecca even those are godly people i'm not asking you not to relate with people we are just dating there's nothing i told the the daughter of mine as a when you went to the university did you do prelims he said yes i did prelims he's prelim part of the degree you're starting on a journey that could make heaven to be brought over you you will call and it will not answer they had to put away those things back then let's go on further let's compare with malachi chapter 2 10-17 you will get to where i'm going i'll take you to the new testament i'm now in the old we are moving into the new one unfolds the other the other night is unfolding are we not all one father is god your father that's what he said our father who was in heaven have we not all one father has not one god created us why do we do treacherously with one another by professing the covenants of the fathers judah is there treacherously and an abomination has been committed in israel and in jerusalem for judah's profaned world the lord's holy institution which he loves he has married the daughter of a foreign god please listen to me check through your entire bible you will not find the word institution used any other time except here because this is a primary institution this is the primary institution that produces humans lives male and female to go address repair or build other institutions may the lord cut off from the tents of jacob the man who does this being awake and aware yet who brings an offering to the lord of hosts and this is the second thing you do you cover the altar of the lord with tears you are weeping you are crying god hear me god answer me so he does not regard the offering anymore nor receive it with good will from your hands why yeah you say for what reason because the lord has been witness between you and the wife of your youth with whom you have death treacherously yes is your companion and your wife by covenant but it did not make them one having a remnant of the spirit and why one is six godly offspring you think marriage is for you this is what we think oh it's for companionship oh so i should keep ourselves pure oh so as to great no he created everything for his own pleasure first everything is your marriage bringing pleasure to god are you treating your spouse right therefore take it to your spirit and let not deal treacherously with the wife of his youth and he will go on to say god hates divorce where am i starting from here you will be praying you'll be fasting you'll be expecting god to respond and god is saying i'm looking at the way you are treating your spouse is a major hindrance to answer prayers first speaker chapter three verse number seven you're in the new testament now in case you are uh one of those who say oh is he's talking about old testament we are now in the new welcome to the new husbands likewise dwell with them with your wives with understanding giving hannah to the wife as to the weaker vessel she's not calling a weaker vessel the way you treat a fragile object treat them that way and has been here together of the grace of life that your prayers may not be him that is not certain that is hindering the prayers of many of us it is the way we treat our spouse you cry you are there's chairs everywhere you are really praying and god is saying why are you wasting your time now i hope no one will use this message to support the idea of settling some oath course with his or her spouse even if the person is here to believe that we were during the during the solemn assembly pastor said those who marry and those who are ungodly who are not believers they can put them away and you use it to settle scholars because you have seen another person you understand and i'm pushing away well first corinthians chapter 7 10 to 16. now to the married i command yet not i but who the lord a wife is not to depart from her husband but even if she does the part let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to a husband and a husband is not to divorce his wife but to the rights i not the lord see if any brother has a wife who does not believe and she is willing to live with him let him not divorce her hello is he clear and a woman who has a husband who does not believe if he is willing to live with that let her not divorce him for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is certified by the husband otherwise your children will be unclean but now they are holy so be careful don't use this and say they are in the solemn assembly you know you know you were not born again when we married and i still don't think that you are born again so go your own way i'm going in your mind don't use this message as your excuse god is looking there wrong can i hear amen another major influence apart from you treating your spouse another major entrance to answer prayers is what i call a rash oath when you make a rash oath this is why in this ministry i do not put you under any bondage to say okay like give pledge of what you would give no it is not according to what a man has not is according to what a man has you're not put under any bondage of making commitments that you're not able to fulfill a rashford will hinder your prayers come with me let's first look at ecclesiastes chapter 5 and we are going to pray and shake these things off our lives today how can you be talking to your father and your father is not speaking to you if you are not a speaking time with god why waste time to pray eclipses chapter 5 verse 1 to 7 walk prudently when you go to the house of god and draw near to here rather than to give the sacrifice of fools for they do not know that they do evil do not be rash with your mouth and let not your heart utter anything hastily before god for god is in heaven and you on earth therefore let your words be filled for a dream comes through much activity a full voice is known by its many words when you make a vow to god do not delay to pay it for it has no pleasure in fools pay what you about better not to vow than to vow and not pay i remember the first day we went to our killer road even the old ada was remember this our first day there the first time i went to show the church as we were leaving la de paulua to aquilo and everybody so it was upside down everything was in disorder and i said we need this we need that thank god for her and one woman there said thank god praise the lord i'm going to supply all do you remember this i'm going to supply all the aluminium windows for here and people clapped inside of me i don't know you that was the last day we saw you see why i don't take pledges from people we will do it and then they will tell you give you one excuse stop playing the role of fools or playing the game of fools you say what has this got to do with prayer let's go first samuel chapter 14 first psalm 14 24-30 and the men of israel were destroyed that day for saul had placed the people under oath if you look at the title it's called rash oath saying curses the man who eats any food until evening this is compulsory fasting by seoulish leaders before i've taken vengeance from my enemies so none of the people tasted food now all the people of the land came to a forest and there was honey on the ground and when the people had come into the woods there was a honey dripping but no one put his hand to his mouth for the people fear their oath but jonathan had not had his father tried the people with the oath therefore he stretched out the end of the road that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb and put his hand to his mouth and his countenance brightened then one of the people said your father strictly charged the people with an oath saying curse is the man who eats food this day and the people who are failed but jonathan said my father has trouble to learn look now how my countenance was brightened because i tested a liter of this honey how much better if the people are eating freely today of this point of their enemies which they found for now would there not have been much a much greater slaughter among the philistines well it's time to pray it's time to attack the enemy verse 35 i want you to pay attention to this he made a rush vow his son broke it then saw built what is the last one he built then saul built an altar to the lord this was the first altar that he built to the lord now saul said let us go down after the philistines by night and plunder them unto the morning light and let us not leave a man of them and they said do whatever seems good to you then the priest said let us drill near to god here his prayer time let's seek his counsel let's seek his face so saul asks cancer of god shall i go down after the philistines will you deliver them into the hand of israel but they did not answer him that day can read the rest of the story saul said come over hell you chiefs of the people i know and see what this scene was today why is god now answering and they found out that jonathan broke the oath his father made and he said jonathan would die the people say jonathan will do what die where you may be king we are not going he he did great victory today we are not going to let it happen when you make a rush vow before god heaven is closed when you come into his presence be careful do not promise what you cannot deliver do not raise rooms and dash them and then go into your closet and be praying stop fooling yourself can i hear amen rule number two rule number two that governs my prayer life true prayer dialogue originates from the heart of the father throughout the prayers i engage myself in true prayer dialogue originates from the heart of the father i gave you about five examples yesterday abraham did not start interceding for sodom until god told him what he was about to do five clear examples you can listen to the message yesterday again i don't want to repeat all that what do i do i wait on god to know his perspective on any given situation and one that is clear to me is perspective from the basis of my prayer to god i wait on god to show me things the sacred things belong to the lord our god but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever that might be able to walk the works of this law do you understand me i do not just want to jump and pray and do this and do that now what is heaven's perspective thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven first and foremost understand what god is all about and what he wants to do before you start praying true prayer dialogue originates from the heart of god did jacob pray to god on his way to pardon aram no almighty god showed up and when he saw he said god is in this place and i know it not this is the gate of heaven this is what the house of god he took the stone made it a pillar poured oil on it and entered into a van began to talk to god if you keep me in the way that i go if this will happen to me and this is what i will do to you you'll be my god forever this pillar will become in the house all that you give to me i'll pay end of it too did god answer that prayer eventually yes he did who showed them what led him to pray god get god's perspective i keep on telling you about the carnival i can give a thousand and one examples but that was one person who lived among girls he was ill he couldn't walk anymore they carried him he was crawling on his buttocks they brought him to church they have gone to his home to pray and his wife was talking to me that he's been like this for a while now and i said is that so i didn't know bring him to my office and they brought him to my office i stepped into my office lord i don't know what's wrong here you do guide me and show me what to do god did not speak to me there but i had connected to him and i went to sit in front of my seat in front of him and his wife was relaying all that they had gone through and suddenly the holy spirit said take his two legs and put them on your chest and i did and he jumped up is that jumping ministry should i start that no that is heaven's perspective for that moment it grew up to become the speaker of the house in your your state in edo he got a miracle just because god spoke get heaven's perspective jeremiah 29 11-13 for i know what they thought i think towards you have you read isaiah 55 my ways are not your ways my thoughts are not your thoughts can you walk together except if you agree when his ways are not your ways and your thoughts are not his thoughts how can he walk through you for i know the thought that i think towards you says the lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end a future and a hope what will happen once you know the perspective then you will call upon me and go and pray to me and i will listen to you is when you lay hold of heaven's perspective that you begin to pray because true prayer dialogue originates from the heart of the father someone may ask can the dialogue start from us this is the point i didn't make yesterday can the dialogue start from us can i have a conversation with father god as i have a conversation with my natural father can i start the dialogue yes you can a man or woman of prayer can initiate the dialogue with god but this must be within the boundary of god's word that he quickens in your spirit can i repeat myself i'm still giving summary of yesterday then we go to the third room this must be within the boundary of a word that it quickens in your spirit so that the word that is quick into your spirit becomes the starting point of initiating the dialogue in first john chapter one verse one listen to john the beloved that which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes which we have looked upon it's talking about christ and our hands are handled concerning the word of life you have you don't have a right to preach the things you have not seen the things you have not heard the things you have not handled you are a mere reporter you are not a witness but about initiating a dialogue with god many times this initiative is hinged on the faith of the fathers or leaders who have spoken the word of god to you and whose life styles are worthy of emulation before that twice they must quicken something on the inside of you there will be a spark of faith you have heard a message you have heard someone you have seen someone that god used mightily and say father if you can use that person this way how about me give me hebrews 13 i said to you i've come to this hebrews 13 verses 7 and 8 remember those who rule over you who have spoken the word of god to you whose faith follow considering the outcome of their conduct we like the motto jesus christ is the same yesterday today and forever and we disconnect verse seven from verse eight so we use the motto we do not know is saying if we can use one person that way he can use you to what he did yesterday is prepared to do today you cannot limit his power what god does for one he can do for all how many women were with the issue of blood only one mark chapter five what did she say if i but touch the aim of his garment i shall be made whole and jesus left that region he came to another region they have heard of the testimony and many people began to press to him that if he maybe touched many people in the marketplace or not if we ever touch the aim of his garment and over our world why what he has done what for one he can do for all so what is he saying in hebrews 13 verses 7 and 8 give me niv niv translation remember your leaders who spoke the word of god to you consider the outcome of the aware of life and imitate their faith that's a starting point imitate their faith jesus christ the same yesterday and today and forever new living translation remember your leaders who taught you the word of god think of all the good that has come from their lives and follow the example of their faith that's your starting point until god gives you your own if you are not faithful in another man so he's going to give you yours jesus christ the same yesterday today and forever amplified version now listen patiently remember your leaders superiors in authority for it was they who brought to you the word of god observe attentively and consider their manner of living the outcome of their well-spent lives and imitate their faith their conviction that god exists and is the creator and ruler of all things the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through christ and they are leaning on the entire human personality on god in absolute trust and confidence in his power wisdom and goodness jesus christ the messiah is always the same yesterday today yes and forever to the ages now the message translation let's connect the dots appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the word of god take a good look at the way they live and let their faithfulness instruct you as well as your truthfulness there should be a consistency that runs through us all for jesus doesn't change yesterday today tomorrow is always totally himself don't disconnect the two verses if you want god to use you who have you been emulating who is taking you by the hand and showing you this is the way this is what we have done throughout this solemn assembly showing you bringing you into my prayer closet this is the way i pray this is where i get results notable examples jehoshaphat all hell broke loose whoa was here in his territory multitudes gathered and he was told ii chronicles chapter 20. it happened after this that the people of moab with the people of ammon and others with them besides the ammonites came to battle against jehoshaphat then some came and told jehoshaphat say a great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from syria and the hazards on turmeric which is angered and jehoshaphat did what who does not get afraid when you see this type of thing david said in the times that i'm afraid i would trust god then joshua feared and set himself to do what to seek the lord she was gaining his perspective to seek the lord and proclaim a fast throughout all judah so judah gathered together to ask what help from who from the lord and from all the cities of judah they came to seek the lord then joshua stood in the assembly of judah in jerusalem in the house of the lord before the new court please listen to this i said oh lord god of our fathers are you not god in heaven do you not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations and in your hand is there no power and might so that no one is able to withstand you are you not our god who drove out the inhabitants of this land before your people israel and gave it to the descendants of who abraham your friend forever he was locating himself in what god did with abraham and they dwelt in it and i built you a sanctuary need for your name saying this is what god said that's why it must be within the boundary of the word of god that is activated in your spirit that if disaster comes upon us served judgment pestilence or famine who said this solomon are the dedication of the temple we will stand before this temple and in your presence for your name is in this temple and cry out to you in affliction and you will hear and say what did he do the word that was activated and inspired in his heart he took to god and now here are the people of ammon more of a mount mountain whom you would not let israel invade when they came out of the land of egypt it was initiating a dialogue between him and god but it turned from them and did not destroy them here they are rewarding us by coming to throw us out of your possession which you have given us to inherit oh our god will you not judge them for we have no power against the greatest multitude that is coming against us not do we know what to do but our eyes are upon you now all judah with their little ones their wives their children stood before the lord what did i say to you stand still and see the salvation of god many times you are not still you're in a hurry pouring out hot words and to impress god no they are vain repetitions be still and know that i am god then the spirit of the lord came he initiated that dialogue and the spirit of lord said came upon jehazal the son of zechariah the son of benaya the son of jail the son of matania and levite of the sons of assad in the midst of the assembly and he said listen all you of judah are you inhabitants of jerusalem and you king jehoshaphat god says the lord to you do not be afraid not dismayed because of this great motive not the for the battle is not yours by gods tomorrow go down against them and he began to give demographics we are there where they are located what's going to happen they will surely come up by the ascent of zees and you'll find them at the end of the brew before the wilderness of jerusalem was it there the holy spirit was giving it to him you will not need to fight in this battle position your step stand still and see the salvation of the lord who is with you o judah and jerusalem do not fear or be dismayed tomorrow go against them for the lord is with you and you shall god did what bowed his head with his face to the ground and arjuna and all the inhabitants of jerusalem bow before the lord worshipping the lord you can read the rest of the story they began to sing ambushment took place but it was jehoshaphat who initiated the dialogue the prayer dialogue between him and god by relying on scripture that was inspired in his heart and heaven responded the sons of korah the sons of quran did the same they expressed the same in psalm 44 as you remember their redemption in the face of present dishonor they saw this honor all around them and they went back to their history what is happening here we have followed our fathers our father says some things to us these things are not lining up and here you have psalm 44 listen to it psalm 44 we have heard with what that which our ears have had our eyes have seen our hands have handled of the word of the lord we have heard with our ears oh god our fathers have told us the deeds you did in their days in days of old you drove out the nations with your hand but then you planted you afflicted the peoples and cast them out for they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword not that they their own arms saved them but it was your right hand your arm and the light of your countenance because you favored them you are my king oh god they positioned themselves and they made the god of their father their father you are my kingdom of god command victory is for jacob through you will push down our enemies through your name will trample those who rise up against us for i will not trust in my book not shall my soul save me what are they saying we are going to trust you god we are throwing ourselves upon you just as our fathers leaned upon you as we read in hebrews chapter number 13 verses 7 and eight we are throwing ourselves upon you you need to tell us what to do stop struggling a fish does not go to swimming school you have saved us from our enemies and have put to shame those who hated us if that's not in god we both all day long can somebody praise his name i don't care what you think of nigeria this nation is not going to unravel i've told you there will be a change of gods in 2021 and as we step into 2022 those who will be the rebuilder the change those change ages will emerge in our national scene and nobody will waste money campaigning for anything because 2023 will take its natural course it begins from this moment in the mighty name of jesus about king hezekiah king hezekiah exhibited this important in his prayer for the extension of his life isaiah 38 verse 9 isaiah 30 verse 9 this is the writing of hezekiah king of judah when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness listen to this i said in the prime of my life i shall go to the gates of cheryl i'm deprived of the remainder of my years i said i shall not say yah the lord in the land of the living i shall observe man no more among the inhabitants of the world my lifespan is gone taken from me like a shepherd's ten i've caught up my life like a weaver it cuts me off from the loom from day until night you make an end of me i've considered until morning like a lion so it breaks all my bones from day on to night you make an end of me like a crane or a swallow so i chatted i'm on like a dog my eyes fell from looking upward oh lord i'm oppressed undertake for me do you understand what it means for god to be your undertaker what shall i say he has brought his he has both spoken to me and he himself asked donate i shall walk carefully on my ears in the bitterness of my soul watch this oh lord by these things men leave and in all these things is the life of my spirit so you will restore me and make me live indeed it was for my own peace that i had great bitterness but you have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption for you have cast all my sins where behind your back watch this for sure cannot thank you that cannot praise you those who go down to repeat cannot hope for your truth the living the living man he shall praise you as i do this day the father shall make know your truth to the children why so that the children will be able to stand in those truths in terms of adversity the lord was ready to save me therefore i will sing my sons we string out instruments all the days of our life in the house of the lord if the fathers if the pastors are not training their people if the fathers are not teaching their children they have no truth to stand upon because before you can initiate a prayer dialogue with god if there must be a scripture that is inspired in your heart so that you stand there did you not tell our father this i love the way they've been praying you said to him we are sorted we are settled we are loaded if it's the word of god you see change in the atmosphere if you believe it you're going to get that result because i then cook it up let's come to the new testament how about the apostles when they faced all kinds of persecution and threats after the man at the gate called beautiful was healed do you know what happened to them they went to their company they went to their company they initiated a prayer dialogue with god acts 4 23-31 and being let go they went to their own companions and reported that the chief priests and elders had said to them what did they do they went and reported they said we must never preach in this name anymore who was never mentioned his name anywhere they reported all the hell that the elder said to them so when they heard that they raised their voice to god how we warn accord and said lord you are god who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them who by the mount of your servant david have said why did the nation rage and the people plot vain things that's trump too that was the scripture that started the prayer dialogue and by the time they stood on that text of scripture and they said you stretch your hand and perform miracles in the name of your son jesus christ what happened they were baptized afresh they spoke the word of god with boldness and the ground where the spirit shook yes you can initiate a prayer dialogue there must be within the boundary of the world inspired in your spirit otherwise every prayer dialogue true prayer dialogue originates from the heart of god until you put something in your spirit to start a conversation can i hear amen please note that certain prayer requests also fall into this category for example the request to pay for the sick because you can go now and say pastor said and we cannot lay hands on the sick anymore i didn't see that there are general provisions made for that he said to them go to the world and pray the gospel in my name and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name you can cast out devils you shall speak with a new tongue if you drink any deadly thing you take up serpent if you drink it it will not hurt you i shall lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover there's a general provision for that also in james chapter 5 he said is any among you sick let him send for the elders of the church let them pray over the sick and anoint the sick with oil so when you anoint the whole church we are sick okay anoint the sick with oil the prayer of faith we do what save the prayer of faith will save the sick would take him from the firing range of the enemy and if he has committed any sin it shall be forgiven confess your first one to another so that you may be healed the effectual father and prayer of a righteous man a very smart i've given you a practical example with dr carnival i could lay hands on him and pray but that's all i would do i would not receive the instruction if i didn't consult god even within the general principles you must still lean upon god not just everywhere lay hands anyhow no they say sabu lo guship use the medication as instructed hallelujah so i've spent almost an hour more on that review did you gain insight now let's go to rule number three my my mind i'll leave room number four until tomorrow and say goodbye to you from my prayer club said go to your own i don't want you to cluster mine okay i've accommodated you for these three four days it's wonderful but you go set up yours and let's be on the same page and touch heaven and receive heaven's response so that we can come together and have the mind of christ to chart a new cause for our nation can i hear amen rule number three godly desire is a must in prayer say that with me i can't hear you say it one more time i cannot hear you in mark chapter 11 verse 24 you're going to find out where the rubber hits the road immediately and why prayers go unanswered therefore i say to you whatsoever things you ask when you pray believe that you receive them and you have them give me kjv of that particular mark 1124 kjv kjv mark 11 24. therefore i say unto you what things so ever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them now when you stand before god asking what influences you asking is your desire do you understand me one very important ingredient that opens the channel and clears up all interferences in the prayer dialogue and in our connection to heaven his desire we have when we pray this is where many believers miss it big time this is the only prayer i want to lead you today i gave you instructions so that we can come to this level and be able to pray accurately the desire mentioned here is not self-induced it must be the desire that god grants you not the one you pray for and bring to god to robertson for you this is where the rubber meets the road you assume whatsoever you desire i desire a house god give me a house i desire money god gave me money that's not what he's saying the fall of man was due to desire was seemed desirable to eve subsequently led to death and separation from god genesis chapter 3 verse 6 genesis 3 6 so when the woman saw that the tree was good for food that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree desirable to make one wise she took of his fruit and head she also gave her husband with her and he had it was desirable make one wise please note that the biblical word the word desire from a biblical standpoint has two different meanings this is why you have to be alive to receive this and i'm praying to you that you open your spirit and receive this seed into you so that it can produce in the days to come it doesn't matter how preachy you are it doesn't matter how intelligent you are if you are not willing if you are married if you are not willing to come to your husband and surrender yourself seed cannot enter into you you cannot be pregnant there is a seed the seed of the incorruptible word of god it must enter into you and then begin to take root in you and develop and from the standpoint of that you can brought new things on the face of the earth the new and now things are about to jam in your life but you must know the place of desire the word desire from biblical standpoint has two different meanings there's a desire that entices it is activated by satan its true identity is lost as desirable as it may seem his true identity is lost in proverbs 14 verse number 12 the bible says there is a way that seems right to a man but his end is a way of death that's why it cannot be your desire it must be his i'm going to show you in practical terms and you are going to leave this place pregnant with godly desires in the name of jesus apostle james drove this point home in his epistle that whenever such satan is inspired desire conceives he gives birth to lost which ultimately gives back to death james chapter 1 verse 12 to 16 blessed is the man who endures temptation for when he has been approved he will receive the crown of life with the lord as promised to those who love him let no one say when he's tempted i'm tempted by god for god cannot be tempted by evil now does he himself tempt anyone but each one is tempted when he's drawn away by his own desires and in there is a desire that entices then when desire has conceived it gives back to sin and sin when it is full grown brings forth death do not be deceived my beloved brethren do you understand this there's a desire that entices you like i like you but the reverend doctor about there in his car lord god you're serving god and i'm serving you that becomes your desire i told you how i desired the car blue bluebird 1.8 it was packed at a daughter sonata daughter but whenever i saw it i laid hands on it there was a day of say it and claim it and all those things rubbish so i lay hands on it they sold the first one i said they can't sell the one that i laid my hands upon and i was passing by the place i have not learned how to drive seriously desire to dissolve the car nothing happened i had to sit down to begin to find out why didn't it work the problem is you jump into another thing not finding out what what you are doing is not working a clear example of this type of design in the old testament is the wrong cravings of israel for their fanciful food in the wilderness their desires were fulfilled to their own detriment in psalms 17 he said he gave them the food of their desires and slew the strongest among them killed them because that was it what were desired a great lesson about the desire god grants is spelt out not just much in the old testament in the new [Music] by the lord jesus christ after his disciples saw what became of the fig tree that jesus spoke to now let's read it comprehensively mark 11 22 26 mark 11 22 26 and in the morning as they pass by they saw the victory died up from the roots and peter calling to remember and said to him master behold the fig tree without curses is withered away go on verse 22 and jesus answering satan to them have faith in god for verily i say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain but thou removed them without crossing to the sea i shall not doubt in his heart but i shall believe that those things which is here shall come to pass it shall have whatsoever is here therefore i say unto you are you ready pay attention i'm going to ask you a few questions therefore i say unto you what things however you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them right what is it whatsoever you desire whatsoever you desire huh now he started with half faith in god is this desire inspired by faith let me go further and when you stand praying forgive if you have ought against any that your father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses for but if you do not forgive neither will your father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses how many booby traps are here number one doubt if you do not doubt in your heart is it not written there number two unforgiveness is he not rich in there but how about desire then whatsoever you desire you disconnect it from have god kind of faith have faith in god the desire must be inspired by god it must be granted to you by god this is the waterloo of many prayer warriors you know warriors they are worried yeah i don't understand okay practical example you are studying in market level let's go to mark chapter 10. let's see how people desire and jesus is not granted mark chapter number 10 verse 35 to 41 kgv mark 10 25 to 41 pay attention and james and john the sons of zebedee came unto him saying master we would that you should you should now should have do for us whatsoever we shall desire we would that you will grant us whatsoever we shall desire so when he was teaching have faith in god whatsoever you desire it was coming from this standpoint and he said unto them what would you that i should do for you he said unto him grant unto us that we may sit one on thy right hand and the other and thy left hand in thy glory but jesus said unto them you know not what you ask how stupid you are can we can you drink of the cup that i drink off and be baptized with the baptism that i'm baptized with and they said anything we can just say okay you want it you would drink it james was beheaded john was in the island department do you understand me their desire was wrong they came to him grant us what we desire he did not so he had to bring it into perspective have the god kind of faith let it inspire your desire how does god grant you the desires of your heart it's critical are you ready look at proverbs chapter 13 please listen attentively if true prayers originate from the heart of god then he must be the one granting you the desire in proverbs verse 30 chapter 13 verse 12 it is the desire that god grants that forms the basis of your prayer when you pray citadel did not jump from the sky down i was in border up god inspired this world and i started talking to you about it i wrote about citadel in 2017. what the name of the ministry will be called in 2017 was it 2017. i can't remember the book that bhumi saw and gave to me where i wrote those things i wrote the anthem i did everything because he put it in my spirit and when it started i said this is a faith project is not going to stop until he finishes and it will be dedicated debt-free friends if god did not inspire it i'm wasting my time check your desires in proverbs 13 12 hope the third makes the heart sick but when the desire comes it's a tree of life who planted the tree of life god so who must plant your desire god it is when the desire comes that is a tree of life this is the type of desire that brings fulfillment proverbs 13 19 proverbs 13 19 a desire accomplished is sweet to the soul but it's an abomination to fools to depart from evil they bring their own desires to god and say rubber stamp it for me please drop a stamping for me and god says what are you saying this is not the way it works i grant you the desires of your heart but there are conditions to fulfill before i begin to release the seed of desire inside of you someone may ask what do i do that will make god to grant me the desires of my heart i will tell you four simple things all you need to do is to dwell in your land of promise that is you must know the position that god has mapped out for you the career that is giving you the assignment that is yours don't don't fish in a number on another man's pawn pad to your own kind of stay in your own promised land when you dwell in your own promised land and then you trust the lord and you do good and you begin to feed on god's faithfulness he promised to grant you the desires of your heart number one you must know your position what god wants me to do number two you must trust in the lord completely number three you must continue to do good because you are going to do well by doing good if you are not faithful in that which is least who is going to give you to riches do good feed on his faithfulness know that god is faithful he said it he will do it god is not a man that he will lie neither the son of man that will change his mind psalm 37 verse 1 to 8. psalm 37 verse 1 to 8. do not fret because of individuals not be envious of the workers of iniquity for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as a green herb trust me who trust in who trust in who if you put your trust in the arms of flesh whether it's president whether it's governor whether it's a chieftain a corporate guru if you put your trust in the arms of flesh it will fail you trust in the lord do good dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness what will happen delight yourself also in the lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart now that you will robert he will give you the desire that forms the best his of standing before him to pray so that when you desire whatsoever you desire what he has put in your heart that is faith-based faith inspired you receive it people of god any other thing that forms the basis of your prayers outside the desires granted or given to you by god will lead to your praying amish it's like shooting and missing the target over and over again at the bottom of such a fruitlet exercise is lost and evil pleasures james chapter 4 verse 1-3 james 4 1-3 where do walls and fights come from among you do not do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members you lost and you know how you matter and convert and cannot obtain you fight and walk yeah you do not have because you do not ask you ask
