Prayer 2021 - December 13 - Your Words Can Kill Your Prayers pt 2

Scripture For Today:

Psalm 109:7

“When he is tried, let him be found guilty and may his own prayers condemn him.” 

Your Words Can Kill Your Prayers pt 2

We’ve been studying how your own words can nullify (or kill) the effectiveness of your prayer life. This is not just dealing with YOU, but those whom you ask to pray with you and for you as well. Your own words can overcome the well intentioned faith of even spiritual prayer giants who are praying for you! Amen!  That is how effective you very own words are. They are either used for your benefit or used for your demise.

The choice really is yours! It is what comes out of your own mouth that matters the most. And Jesus said, “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” So if negativity, if doubt, if unbelief is coming out of your mouth… guess what – THAT is what is in your heart! Not faith!

You need to ADD to your prayers by speaking ONLY faith filled words! How do you do that? By speaking SCRIPTURE over your prayers, over your life and speaking the SCRIPTURES that support your prayer request!  I’ve been telling you this all year long, you MUST use the Word of God in your prayers!

“Brother Bob, you say that on almost every program.” 

Well, if you would start to do it then I could move on to something else!  But, because you don’t want to be labeled as “one of the name it and claim it crowd” or one of those “Blab it and grab it people” – you’d rather just die in your misery, poverty or whatever so you will “look good at your funeral!”

I know that offends a LOT of people out there – especially those that are of a couple of denominational sects. But get over it folks. This is real life and death stuff we are talking about here. What you say MATTERS!

Don’t believe me?

Here is what JESUS had to say about what YOU say…

Mark 11:22-24   “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly^[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours…”

Let me ask you, if Jesus was sitting here, in the same room with you, right now. And He said THIS is what you need to do to get your prayers answered, you need to pray standing up and that will do it… would you do it? Would you pray from that moment forward while standing up?  

“Well of course, brother Bob!”  WHY?

“Because Jesus told me that was what I needed to do. And He should know, I mean, “His Word is Truth. Amen!”

OK… Mark 11:22-24 tells YOU what JESUS said YOU should do. Look at verse 24 again:  “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours…”

Would Jesus lie to you?  If not, then WHY won’t you do this ONE VERSE in your prayer life?

We will take it up here again tomorrow…
