THE HOUR OF POWER PRAYER

        Break the hour up into twelve segments of five-minute of prayer, then pray on each theme for the whole five minutes. After a while you will find it easy to do.

(1)   Praise – We enter Gods presence through praise, thanksgiving and singing to the lord, it is the protocol to His presence, person and power, (Psa 103:1). Praise God in tongues it will help you get out of your worldly mindset and get you in tune with the spirit, for your “mind is fruitless,” however your inner man is “edified” or built up, (Jude 20; 1 Cor 14:4-5).  

(2)   Scripture Praying. Pray the psalms and other powerful biblical passages of prayer and praise. The word of God is our guide and source book, it teaches how to pray and what to pray. His word is His Purpose, His Promise and His power. The word of God spoken in prayer is our sword. God watches over His word to perform it. He is seeking a Daniel who will fast and pray over His promise so that he can fulfill it, (Eph 6:17; Jer 1:12; Psa 119:154b; Dan 9:1-19; Neh 1; John 17:7; Matt 5:5)

(3)   Repentance – surrender, repentance, confession and forgiveness, (2 Chron 7:14; Acts 3:19). Forgive others in the same measure you want God to forgive you

(4)   Pray for the expression of biblical love (1 Cor 13) and the manifestation of fruits of the spirit in your life, (Gal 5:22-23)

(5)   Pray for the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit, (1 Cor 12:3-12)

(6)   Spiritual warfare – Declare war on the enemy. Plead the blood of Jesus and Put on the full armor of God, stand and fight! Bind the Principalities of darkness and loose the Holy Spirit over your life, your job, your church, your family, your friends and your city. Release ministering angels to protect, encamp about and put up a hedge of protection around those you are praying for, (Eph 6:10-18; Rev 12:11)

(7)   Watching – Prophetically pray what the Holy Spirit is leading you to pray, be aware and sensitive to the Holy Spirits Intercessions for people, places, positions, prophesies and promises, (Rom 8:28).

(8)   Intercession – Prayer for others peoples needs. Cry out for you friend, family, leaders and enemies. Stand in the gap for those who have yet to hear the gospel and pray that those who have heard will obey. Live a Gap-Life of worship, prayer and ministry (1 Tim 2:1-2)

(9)   Petition – Prayer for personal needs. God knows and cares for your need. He has the solution all He is waiting for you to do is initiate the relationship. God sent His Son now it our turn to initiate communication.

(10)  Meditation – Reflect upon scripture, the promises and the goodness of God, (Rev 2:7)

(11)  Waiting upon God – Be still and listen to God. Do not be anxious, forget your agenda, God wants quality not a quantity of time, (Psa 37:7)

(12)  Thanksgiving and adoration – serenade of God. Thank God for His goodness and mercy, (Col 1:13)
