PRAYER HELP

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Acts 19:1-7

And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 19:6
When the disciples in the upper room came under the influence of the Holy Spirit they began to pray in tongues on the day of Pentecost. When the household of Cornelius came under the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit they began to pray in tongues. When the disciples in Ephesus came under the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit they began to pray in tongues.
If you are not under the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit you will be subject to devilish influences which will make you seek power elsewhere. Witchcraft, occult and other demonic sources will become the source of your power. When you come under a devilish influence you will be opposed to prayer and deny its power. This is because a devilish influence will lead you away from a relationship with God through prayer. Your life will be governed by the senses and not by God. This is because a sensual person lives his life serving the lusts of his flesh and his mind. You will be too lazy to pray! You will need food, rest and pleasure all the time and therefore have no time to pray. The sweet influence of the Holy Spirit is the anointing for prayer. It is the supernatural ability and grace given to a believer to pray.
The sweet influence of the anointing gives you the ability to speak in tongues because every time the anointing for prayer fell on people they began to speak in tongues. The anointing for prayer was given several times in the book of Acts. The Holy Spirit helps the infirmities of believers by helping them to pray

PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON JESUS' FINISHED WORK - PS JOSEPH PRINCE

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” I...

“Though the mountains be shaken and the   hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not   be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”   says the   Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10,  NIV I want to give you a simple but critical truth. Memorize this truth. Feed on it. Let it take root in your spirit and become an anchor in your life. You will never be the same again. Are you ready? Here it goes: As a child of God, no matter what happens in your life, your Father in heaven loves you dearly and nothing you do can ever change that. Will you believe that today? Whether you are going through good times or facing challenging times, you need to know that your Abba loves you. There is nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you more, and nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you less. Even—or perhaps  especially —when you feel like you have failed, know that you will  always  be the apple of His eye...
