Power in Prayer

“…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]…” James 5:16b, AMP

Prayer is more than simply reciting words to God or communicating (interacting) with Him; prayer is also a way in which we ‘affirm’ and ‘create’ what we are asking of. When we speak (i.e. pray) we hear (faith comes by hearing) but also we as gods, our tongues (speech) have creative power (Proverbs 18:21).

The next time you pray, think of (and listen to) what you are saying (or not saying) for in your prayers you are not just talking to God, you are building your faith and create the very thing you are asking God of. (Caution: your faith (confidence) should be in God who makes it happen, not in your prayers)

Battle of the Mind

“…For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (physical, body), but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…” © 2 Cor 10:3-5, KJV italics, brackets and emphasis mine

Many Christians believe that believers only need be spiritual, ignoring the role of the soul (mind) and the body (5 senses). Our mind plays a key role in our daily walk of faith or lack thereof. When the devil allures one he comes to mind; likewise God through His Spirit. Note: 2 Corinthians talks of strongholds, thoughts, knowledge and imaginations i.e. battle of who controls the mind.

Man is a spirit, has a soul (mind: will, intellect, emotions) and lives in the body. Our mind is a crucial platform that interacts (coordinate, relate, relay) between spirit and body, it takes of the spirit into body and vice versa; i.e. It is fed through our natural senses (the body) and from the spirit. Be alert of what you allow into your mind as it influences what you believe (in spirit) and hence practice (in the body).
