Yesterday, I shared one of the secrets to prayer--knowing God as our Father and praying to Him, in His son Jesus's name. We don't pray to Jesus. We don't ask Jesus for anything.(John 16:23-24) We ask God our Father for everything. Remember, when the disciples asked Jesus, "teach us to pray.." He began with, "Our Father."
Today, I want to share another one with you. Our spirits need to be educated and trained. Just because we read the Bible doesn't mean we are educated. You can read the the Bible and not understand what you read. It's happened to me many times. The word has to get down deep on the inside of us until we get the revelation into our hearts. We try to grasp it with our minds, but we have to understand it with our spirit. We need teachers. We need to study. Look up words. Find out how to study the Bible. If you don't have a Bible get one with a concordance in the back to help you study.

When the prodigal son went home, the Bible says, "...he came to himself." Praying and fasting doesn't always bring the results we desire. We need to understand deep in our heart the authority of God our Father purchased for us by Jesus His son. If we want people free from the devil then we pray, fast and use our authority. Example, "You foul devil I command you in the power of God, through the name of Jesus to loose __________________ . I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ from blinding ________________ from the truth of God. Now, Father I thank you _____________ is free in Jesus name." Now, praise God for the answer! Doubt not! The devil will lie and tell you nothing changed, but in your spirit you will have a confidence that comes from the understanding of spiritual warfare in your heart.
ACTION STEP: If you don't have a local church I will be sharing more on this subject this coming Sunday. Due to COVID19 State Regulations please go to this link and register: http://restorationchurchintl.org/church-service
If you have a local church but want to listen to the message you can do so by Live Streaming, Sound Cloud, You Tube and following this link: http://restorationchurchintl.org/media
In the meantime when you read your bible remember it is not the quantity of the word you read but the amount you understand and comprehend in your heart. Ask God, your Father to help you understand what you read. Ask your pastor to explain the passage you read, or someone further along in the word. God your Father wants you to be well informed and skilled in warfare in these last days. God loves His children. If you accept Him as your Father then He will not deny you as His son or daughter as soon as you ask Him to be your Savior and forgive you of your sins . Deny all association with the devil and his cohorts. Renew your mind daily with the word of God and the more you hear the more faith you will have.
I am praying for you. These are dangerous times we live in, but greater is He that lives in us. You've got this, because God has got you!
