How Do You Discern What Direction To Pray ?Hearing & Seeing:

• John 5:19

• •19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

• In the realm of the spirit you can only produce what you see.Until you see you have no production.

• Elijah to Elisha if you see me you get the mantle & Abraham after Lot left God says Look and see

6

• Without seeing there is no possession therefore seeing is possession. So go to hear and to see and to get direction.

• This is the most important foundation truth and direction in prayer which sustains all the other directions.

7

• Real prayer is initiated by God not us

• John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

• My father is always working God is here doing something . Multitude of people there too

• Discern what the father is doing when we walk in a room we locating what God is doing

• Effectual prayer does not begin with us it begins with us discerning what God is doing

• Many terrible things would never happen if folks were really led by the Spirit. - Kenneth E. Hagin

• urable testimony, give a good report

• “Witnesses” appears 24 times in the King James, comes from the Greek word martus and is defined:

• a witness

• in a legal sense

• an historical sense

• one who is a spectator of anything, e.g. of a contest

• in an ethical sense

• those who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death

• Did you catch that last part? To be a witness is to be a willing martyr for Jesus Christ! This is the depth our witness must take on to be worthy of the biblical definition. Witness is what we are to do and witnesses is what we are to become – regardless of the outcome. It is certainly not that we must die to be a faithful witness, only that we are completely willing if need be.

• To explain how totally intertwined being a witness and a martyr are consider that five times in the book of Revelation the word martus appears in the Greek. Three times it is translated “witness” (1:5, 3:14, 11:3). However, in Revelation 2:13 and 17:6 this same word martus is translated “martyr” implicating the death of His Saints for the name and cause of Jesus.

The Early Church

• The early church was without doubt a praying church, and what tremendous things they accomplished through prayer alone: prison doors were opened, fanatical opponents were struck down and converted to Christ, signs and wonders were done.

• It's about him his assignment

• Favour is given to assignment

• Everybody was bustling, making a noise. And I looked out of the window in my splendid isolation and I said to myself, "I wonder what God thinks about all those people." I didn’t expect an answer. But I got an immediate answer, "Some weak, some foolish, some proud, some wicked and some exceeding precious." That, I felt, was God’s categorization of the human race. You can think it over. There’s four basic reasons why people don’t come to Christ. Some weak, some foolish, some proud, some wicked and some exceeding precious.

34

The Early Church

• But the open secret was that the early church knew the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, not theoretically but experientially.

• Those first believers were mighty in prayer because they were mighty in the Spirit.

35

The Early Church

• We have only to scan the pages of Acts to discover that the early church met and overcame every great crisis in their early history with the weapon of “all prayer.”

Spirit Filled Life

• In a day when an increasing number of God’s children are recognizing the necessity of a vital encounter with the Holy Spirit, let us always keep before us this prayer aspect of the Spirit-filled life.

39

№

Spirit Filled Life

• In Ezekiel’s vision (chapter 47) the waters that flowed out of the sanctuary were at first “ankle-deep,” which suggests walking in the Spirit; and then “knee-deep,” which suggests praying in the Spirit.

40

№

Spirit Filled Life

• There is a serious deficiency in the outworking of the Spirit-filled life if it does not result in a revitalizing experience in the realm of prayer.

41

№

Spirit Filled Life

• Everywhere the New Testament writers take it for granted (as they do baptism in water) that their readers have known this rich experience of the Holy Spirit coming upon them (Titus 3:5–6).

• Today, sadly, it cannot be so readily assumed.

42

№

Spirit Filled Life

• Paul could never have asked the Galatians, “Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?”

• if their experience of receiving the Spirit had not been at least as clearly defined as their experience of receiving Christ.

43

№

Spirit Filled Life

• Let others who, though convinced of the scripturalness and importance of it, are still strangers to the experience, come with purity of heart, cleanness of hands, and simplicity of faith to the risen Lord.

• “If any man thirst let him come to Me and drink.” So come and drink, for the promise is to you.
