"16 Types of Prayer - #2 Faith”


One can literally go on-n-on about the Prayer of Faith. Faith is a key element in all we do for the Kingdom of Light. Without faith it is impossible to please him. I will leave the debate on how much faith you need for someone else. In my "eyes" all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed. A mustard seed is incredibly small. It takes some a little squinting of the eyes to get a good look at one.

Now, let's take a look at James 5:15 (Amplified Bible) for a second or two. It reads: The Prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Notice it does not say a "title" or "earthly deeds" will save or restore the sick. It is a act of faith through prayer. This does not exclude but includes believers across the seven continents of the world and every nation therein. One does not need a title to pray the Prayer of Faith over someone who may be sick. It's your hands the Lord desires to use. It's your lips he longs to pray life into another earthen vessel. He desires to direct your feet along beaten paths to claim souls that may find themselves sick or sin stricken.

May I call your attention to the fact that in this particular scripture healing, restoration an salvation are tied together. Begin today to use the Prayer of Faith to pray for those you may know who are sick & don't know or who might be out of fellowship with Jesus. This goes beyond a church denomination or membership. Most of all it's important to transition past a "religious experience" into a new realm of knowing/seeking Jesus.


"Surprise Me God 30 - Day Experiment Created by Terry Esau - Day 4"


Boy oh boy am I super duper excited to tell you about my recent "surprises" after praying this simple prayer on day 4 of 30. Let me start off by saying I have been writing in some form for many years. I never really took it seriously though. It was just something I did naturally. It's a part of me. Little did I know this was all preparation leading up to something very great. Once again, I "accidentally stumbled" across two really cool interactive tools for our Blog. You may have noticed one already. It's the new "Chat-n-Go" feature up top on the left. This allows our team to interact LIVE with our readers while they are visiting our site. The next one has me jumping up and down with excitement all over the place......a LIVE online TV Broadcast!!! Yep. You read right. A LIVE online TV Broadcast. The Bible says he will do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ever ask or think....and he sure has. I'm telling you he will completely blow your mind if you allow him to. This will be another added interactive feature for our readers. We're live Monday - Friday @ 12:30 AM PST. Like this blog the LIVE Broadcast will be dedicated to praying (not judging) for/with folks from all walks of life until heaven releases their specific answer. See for yourself.....http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/33370


"Prayer Exercise"

Lift your hands right were you are and repeat after me: "Father I thank you for the vehicle of prayer. I embrace the fact that you are too wise to make a mistake. Use me to pray the prayer of faith for those around me who may be sick or need spiritual restoration. I thank you for doing this right now. In Jesus name. Amen"

"16 Types of Prayer - #1 Supplications”

"16 Types of Prayer - #1 Supplications”

Let me start off by saying there are definitely many other types/forms of prayer. Together, we will be digging deeper on these specific 18 types over the next few weeks.

The 1st type of prayer we will be looking at is Supplications. Let’s take a look at Psalms 28:6 in the Amplified Bible. It reads as follows: Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible defines supplications as: Earnest prayer, entreaty, supplication. Dictionary.com defines supplication as: an act or instance of supplicating; humble prayer, entreaty, or petition.

From this it may seem it is a prayer utilized when humbling ones self before God. Entreating him on behalf of a variety of areas like your family, friends, co-workers, city etc. When one chooses to step out of self while humbling themselves to present supplications to God your prayer takes on a voice……a voice that God hears. Now that's something to get excited about!

There is so much more to say on the prayer of supplications. I am reminded of something I heard someone say....."You can trust God with all your troubles in prayer. He has a big voice and he knows a whole lot of people".

The word "supplications" is used within the Bible 18 times in the old testament & 3 times in the new testament. Here is a list for further study if you so choose:

Old Testament

2 Chronicles 6:21
2 Chronicles 6:39
Job 41:3
Psalms 28:2
Psalms 28:6
Psalms 31:22
Psalms 86:6
Psalms 116: 1
Psalms 130: 2
Psalms 140: 6
Psalms 143:1
Jeremiah 3:21
Jeremiah 31:9
Daniel 9:3
Daniel 9:17
Daniel 9:18
Daniel 9:23
Zechariah 12:10

New testament

1 Timothy 2:1
1 Timothy 2:5
Hebrews 5:7

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment Created by Terry Esau – Day 3”

It seems the Lord is insistent on Surprising me in very mysterious ways. My family and I went to see the newly released movie The Great Debaters. It was produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Directed by Denzel Washington. I would have given it four stars if they had left out one scene with strong sexual content. Anyway’s while watching this movie I was given an even deeper appreciation for the contributions African Americans have made to society as a whole. It surprised and encouraged me to press forward in leaving my own legacy for history to recount.

"Prayer Exercise"

Lift your hands and say these words with me: My heart longs to know you in a more intimate way Lord. I thank you that you have provided the prayer of supplications that I may communicate effectively with you daily. I close my ear gate to every dark influence in Jesus name. I open up, activate and empower my ear gate to a clear, crisp transmission to the heart and throne of the Living God. Amen”

"PUSH = Pray Until Something Happens"

We live in a "quick, fast & in a hurry" decade. Many relate prayer similar to microwave dinners. Choose which one you want....pop it in the microwave for a few minutes....then bam, it's ready to be eaten (not). Don't get me wrong. There are often times when your answer comes quick, fast and in a hurry. However, in order to build greater character, relationship and faith within, there are times when the Lord will delay an answer to allow us to see ourselves. Allow me to expound on this for a minute. Have you ever seen what some call...a "spoiled" child? You may have seen one in the mall. They kick, scream, flair their arms and cry like someone is killing them because they did not get what they wanted, when they wanted it. We can agree the child will have to learn they can not have everything they want when they want it, right? The same principle applies in prayer.

We must learn to embrace the fact that delay does not mean denial. Let me say that again. Delay does not mean denial. Will we wait patiently? Will we give up or give in when oppressive walls, barriers, or obstacles stand in our way? It's not that God does not hear or is deaf. There are times when one must earnestly contend by faith in prayer. Push "through" smokescreens, camouflage, fear, let down, distractions, counterfeits, shame, hurt, disappointments and the like. Push "into" joy, peace, deliverance, healing, salvation and breakthrough in the Spirit of the Lord. We are not called to be wimps or push overs in the Kingdom of God. We are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. We are Heirs with God & Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ. We are above and not beneath. First & not last. Blessed & not stressed. Healed by the stripes on his back. Rise up Man of God. Rise up Woman of God. Why should you be bound in prayer? Take the limits off. He has given you the authority to use the name of Jesus. Every knee must bow to that name. Every tongue must confess in heaven, earth and underneath the earth that he is Lord. Use the name of Jesus to tell dark forces to back up and back off your territory. Loose every resource you need down here on earth to fulfill you destiny. It's your time & season to PUSH!

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment – Day 2”

The Lord has a sense of humor. Yep, when we stop long enough to pay close enough attention we may find he is saying and or doing something that is funny. The reason I say this is that I was looking for him to really bless me today. I became really focused on him speaking to my heart directly since I was praying and seeking him. Guess what....I heard nothing....nada....zip. That was until I took the focus off me and began to reach out to help support others. When I released my faith in prayer on behalf of someone else, within minutes God sent someone across my path to release encouragement, hope and comforting words into my life. It was just what I needed at that moment.

"Prayer Exercise"

Lift your hands up right were you are and say these words with me: “In this lifetime with my very own eyes I want to see myself walking in everything you have predestined for my life. Therefore, today, right now I make a conscious intelligent decision to PUSH (Pray-Until-Something-Happens) towards my future. Teach me how to pray more effectively. I embrace your will and your path for my life. Bring me into Divine alignment with my purpose while here on earth. Amen”

Prayer: "The Believer's Prayer Manual"
Written about with Author's consent

Since today is a Holiday I am going to keep it short and simple. I must say up front that I personally know the author of this book. I have not been promised or paid one dime for this right up.

The Believer's Prayer Manual by Flynn Cooper is a great book for those who have a hunger to know more about prayer. It is also a great resource for those who are more familiar in the various areas of prayer. It is a easy, practical how to guide with real life application strategies.

"Surprise me God - Day 1"

I was growing a little concerned I would not be able to report anything on my first day. But late in the night I stumbled across a wonderful surprise. It was a great, supportive online writing group with like minded people. It will encourage me to pursue my writing skills more.

"A Prayer testimony written by Tana Monteiro"
(Published with permission)

On September 20, 2003, our family received a call from the eye doctor at UC Berkeley. We expected her to tell us Quinn our 7 year old son, our first born would need glasses, imagine our shock when we heard Quinn is going blind. An incurable genetic disorder called Leber’s optic neuropathy. The disease affects the nerves in your eyes, and they die causing blindness. It happens quickly in less than six months you could go completely blind. It mostly affects males; my three male cousins suffer from it, two of which are completely blind. I have two brothers who do not have this, so I never was concerned that this would affect my sons. It usually happens to young men in their late teens/early twenties, but now we were hearing the news that our son was going completely blind. At the time of diagnoses his sight was 20/1066 in the left eye and 20/580 in the right eye.

After hanging up with the doctor, we immediately called our Pastor. I remember he said “I do not accept that”, he prayed for us and then called for everyone in our church to come together for corporate prayer. Our church calls this ringing the bell. When we hear the bell is being rung we know we must drop everything and come to church to pray for miracles, deliverance and supernatural interventions. Someone’s life is depending on us to touch heaven.

Our whole family (immediate and extended) started to pray. My sister in law sent an email to TD Jakes prayer team; I think someone else sent one to Benny Hinn’s prayer team as well.

We had to believe God for reversal, recovery, and restoration, there was no plan B. We had to believe God to reverse the curse, we had two other sons, and blindness was not going to be their destiny. We would not accept it!

At Quinn’s next eye appointment the doctor said she saw about a 1% increase in vision since the last visit, about two weeks earlier. She attributed it to the lighting in that particular office. We said we will take that 1% and believe God for the other 99%. She also showed us the x-rays of the eye nerves. We saw that the blood was not flowing through most of the nerves. Seeing this did not scare or discourage us, now we knew and could be more specific with our prayers. Our prayer “Lord Mighty God, Your resurrection power resurrect Quinn’s eye nerves. We command the blood flow freely through his eye nerves now! We command Quinn’s eyes, nerves, and blood line up to the will, word and promises of God. We appropriate the promises of the cross, God’s promises for Quinn. We appropriate the work of the cross and God’s promises for our sons Kahlil and Seth every curse be reversed In Jesus Name Amen!”

When talking to people about Quinn such as his teachers we never said Quinn is blind, we always said they have given this diagnoses, but we believe God and we tell them of the miraculous recovery he has received. Every month since the first visit Quinn’s eyes have gotten better and better. At Christmas time that year the Lord spoke to me and said the day I reversed the diagnoses the curse was reversed too. We now have His blessed assurance that our other sons will never be affected! At the present time Quinn’s vision was tested at 20/70 in both eyes, even the doctors say this is miraculous recovery. God said 20/20 so we will not settle for anything less, and know total recovery will be manifested.

Yes we serve a Mighty Super Natural Healing God! Truly our Lord Jesus Christ can bring anything back to life!

Let's strengthen our spiritual prayer muscles. Say these words out loud: "Surprise me God".
