But what about a strategy for prayer for our lives, our spouses, and our children? The strategy begins by examining your circumstances right now, and visualizing how things should be—and could be. As you pray over these relationships and responsibilities, write down plans and procedures for getting from here to there.
This means producing a prayer strategy so that God can take you from where you are to where He wants you to be. Begin to pray about this and write down your commitment to God to be more specific and strategic in prayer. It does not necessarily mean emptying your closet, but we all have a space that we can repurpose, even if it is shared space. The Spirit will lead you to pick a place to meet with God each day. Sometimes we get to post our strategy and Scriptures on the wall, and sometimes we have to keep them secured in a notebook or box that we carry into prayer each day.
The important thing is to commit and be consistent; let prayer grow and guide you. Each day of this calendar will add an opportunity to post something new to grow and sow into your prayer strategy. The devil does not have a fighting chance if you let God do your fighting for you. Start today Prov. Lord, call us to battle! Raise them up, Lord! Raise them up! Before an army can be shipped into battle, they have to go through boot camp or some sort of training.
God needs to train us up in order to raise us up, as we volunteer to be soldiers in His army. God uses our education and experience to help us grow as the branches abiding in Him, the Vine. His Word is the root that keeps us steadfast and the sap that feeds and strengthens us. If you cannot substantiate your belief with Scripture then you need to replace it with truth. Be careful, Satan is sneaky.
He likes to twist and blur the Word to make it sound like something else that appeals to our flesh. Then open your ears to hear Him calling you to battle; be prepared and armor up, He is raising up an army and you have just been recruited Eph. You have to step down! If you want victory, you have to surrender first. Surrender seems backwards and counterproductive to our earthly mindset of success and victory.
But in Christ, the key to success is to surrender, seek Him, and submit to Him daily. After you surrender your life to the leadership and Lordship of Jesus, you position yourself to listen and obey His commands. Submission invites God into every area of your life to both prune and protect so that we will bear much fruit to His glory. Submission wants and waits for His Kingdom to come and will be done.
So while you are ducking, just fall on down to those knees and pray. Submit to His decisions and direction. Write down a sentence or a declaration of submission and refer to it daily. Pledge to obey, or to get out of His way, and always pray Matt — It can powerfully affect every problem and need in our lives if engaged from within a vibrant relationship with God. Write down some adjectives, characteristics, and evidences that describe your current relationship with Jesus.
Describe your daily interaction and affection toward Him. How many times do you think about Him during the day? How often do you talk with Him, thank Him, or give Him credit for something good or beautiful? Is prayer your first response or your last resort? One of the biggest mistakes made in prayer is that we make it about us. We think that we only need to talk to God when we need something.
But that is not how any successful relationship communicates. If your write your spouse a love note, or a friend a thank-you note, you do not fill it with ways they can make your life better and easier. You thank them for all they have done and the meaning that they have already brought to your life.
Love expresses and affirms affection without attaching a required expectation at the end of the sentence. Then begin to practice making your requests in the mindset of His will, so He receives glory and His Kingdom is impacted. A happy marriage glorifies God, so does an addict who recovers, a prodigal who repents and comes home, a bill that gets paid, a church that is filled with people who have a heart for prayer, worship and service, etc.
Abiding in Him teaches us to value what He values, not the other way around. Write down ways to praise and thank Him as you see Him move in your requests, and in your relationship Isa.
Prayer is our time together in conversation that makes our relationship stronger and more intimate in my life. Write down and pray all the ways that you commit to seek Him. Seek Him first thing every morning; seek Him in the good and worse of circumstances, in His creation, in crisis, in decisions and the demands of life.
Pledge to seek Him first, instead of fear, worry, or selfish ambition Ps. If you find yourself doing the same wearisome or worrisome thing over and over again without seeing any progress or resolve; then you are definitely not doing it well!
It is past time for a prayer strategy over that issue or relationship. Pray and then write down 1—3 situations in your life that exhaust and exasperate you. Then write down and pray a Scripture over each of those areas. As we progress through our War Room strategy we continue to add prayers over each of these topics Isa. Victory can only happen with tenacious training, scrupulous strategy and persistent practice.
We do not stumble into victory, we battle our way to victory. With every blog post, Jennifer is exalts the one true God who can empower us to do more than we can ask or imagine.
