WORD AND PRAYER

FAITH CAPSULE: Pray the word of God continually.

Acts 12

Acts 6:4 speaks to all, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Know to pray the word of God because the word of God does not return void but will provoke an undenied answer from God.
PRAY AGAINST TASKMASTER IN YOUR LIFE
The Israelites in Egypt became a target by the enemy because of their potential to grow.
Exodus 1:11 records, “Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens.”
The Pharaoh set up taskmaster to inflict, to replace the purpose of God over their life.
Prayerfully, the taskmaster in place to inflict, to replace the purpose for your life by God shall be frustrated and become powerless over the life given to you by God.
A situation in your life that represents a taskmaster shall become terminated.
PRAYER
Ask that every force representing the taskmaster over your life inflicting pain physically, spiritually, or emotionally be cease this hour in the name of Jesus.
Ask against every attempt of the taskmaster to replace the purpose of God in your life shall be a failure. The taskmaster against your life shall become exposed with shame in the name of Jesus.
PRAY THE WORD AGAINST WHAT HOLDS MAN DOWN
What is it that is holding you down physically, spiritually, or emotionally to deny your rising to live life for the glory of God?
Whatever hold down one is with a plan to kill and destroy.
The disciples of Jesus, James, the brother of John and Peter, faced sudden death and untimely death.
King Herod was holding them down for the time to kill them.
Acts 12:1-5 documents, “Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover. 5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.”
Evidently, before the death of James, the church must have been having Sleeping in the place of praying(Casual prayer) instead of having constant prayer (commitment prayer). After the death of James, constant prayer took charge to replace the sleeping type of prayer (Casual prayer), by the church to deliver Peter from sudden, untimely death.
Isaiah 45:11 encourages where God said, “concerning the work of My hands You command Me…”
PRAYER
Ask that whatever force, challenges, spiritual force, physical or emotional issue that is HOLDING you down be shattered, that you shall not be a victim of the wicked world.
Ask to be strengthened on your prayer altar before God.
Ask that every iota of the spirit of prayer laziness be flushed out for prayer consistently to become your way of life.
