COVENANT KEYS AND SECRETS TO ANSWERED PRAYERS.

Engage in word based Prayers- (Psalms 138:2. Hosea 14:2.) God’s will and His Word are the same. We discover His will in His Word. There are procedures for getting answered prayers. (Isaiah 41:21, Isaiah 43:26.) Our declarations must be according to His word. (1 John 5:14-15.).  It is what we ask that is in line with His word that He will respond to.

We must pray in faith in the word and in the name of Jesus- (Mark 11:24.) Faith is a decision . Faith is a catalyst for answers to prayers. Faith is the spiritual converter of spiritual blessings into practical blessings. Galatians 3:14. Every prayer that must be answered must be prayed in the name of Jesus John 14:13-14 Praying in the name of Jesus is not just a way to end our prayers but it is our access to answers.

We must pray earnestly- (1 Samuel 1:12-16, James 5:16-18) It is possible to pray with the mouth and not pray with the heart and it is the prayer done from the heart that receives answers (1 Kings 8:37-39.)When prayer is from you heart God will hear. The prayers of our heart is loud in heaven.  To pray with the mouth and not pray with the heart is a wrong investment of energy. (Jeremiah 29:13).

We must make specific demands on the altar of prayer- (1 Chronicles 4: 10; Luke 11:11-12). Any prayer without a specific target does not attract a definite answer. Whenever our expectation lacks definition the desire lacks manifestation. Every desire must have definition for it to end with manifestation (Mark 10:46-52- Blind Bartimaeus) God is not bound to respond until our desires are specific. God does not answer us until we specify our desires so that we don’t accuse Him.

We must pray with confidence in the prayer answering God- (Hebrews 4:16).We are to approach the altar of prayer with boldness in our heart and also confidence in God that He will answer our prayers. (1 Kings 18:27-28/38. God manifests the weight of His glory in the presence of a confident heart. God is excited by our boldness and confidence .(Ephesians 3:20, Psalm 57:2).

We must pray with authority against all satanic influences- It is freely given but must be forcefully taken.  Matthew 11:12, Ephesians 6:10-18 and prayers is the force we are to apply to appropriate what has been given. Daniel 10:10-13, 1 Corinthians 16:9.
Walk in the understanding that you have victory and that the enemy is not only been defeated but is ordained for defeat 1 John 5:4, 1 John 4:4.

We must pray with thanksgiving- Philippians 4:6-7 until thanksgiving is offered our request is not complete. Thanksgiving is a strong demonstration of our faith. 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 10:36
Consciously and intentionally forgive people who have hurt or offended you. (Mark 11:25-26; Matthews 6:14-15).
