Prayer: A Key to Overcoming Wickedness.

1 John 5:19

There is no denying it, wickedness exists.
The Bible shows us wicked spirits are real and wicked human beings are on earth.
It is Satan who puts a wicked nature in people.
There are wicked people who have sold out deliberately to the devil. We have wicked people who don't like God's anointed or anything that has to do with the move or things of God.
Psalm 2:1-4

The chief architect of wickedness is Satan. Ephesians 6:16
Satan has a team of wicked spirits which are demons and fallen angels who work with him as a team. Ephesians 6:12
They work in unity to achieve Satan's mandate of stealing, killing and destroying. John 10:10

In today's world the effects of Satan and his team can be seen all around us.
Voodoo, Satan worship, false religion, deceptive teachings, family hatred, uncontrolled anger, evil schemes, false prophets and teachers, dream attacks, nightmares are all works of the enemy.

Despite the wickedness in this world and Satan's control, God makes a way of escape for His own.
1 Corinthians 10:13
In spite of the evil in this world God has given power and authority to His children to live above it and overcome it. Luke 10:19
That power is the power of the Holy Spirit with you.
The power and the Spirit comes through prayer. Acts 2:1,2

Your 6 advantages over Satan:
1) The name of Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:10
2) The blood of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:11
3) The Word of God. Matthew 4:4,7,10
4) The grace of God. 2 Corinthians 12:9
5) Your salvation. Romans 10:9,10
6) Your confession. Psalm 81:10

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
