7 Steps to Answered Prayer
In the Christian walk it is impossible to THINK unbelief when you are SPEAKING faith filled words. Words drive thoughts only when they are spoken. Using this progressive method of praying will help you avoid prayers of unbelief when you pray repeatedly about a specific thing.
Be specific in your prayers. Tell God exactly what you want or need. Let Him know you expect to receive from him, and be prepared to stand in faith for it forever, if necessary.
A. “Let your petitions be known…” 1 John 5:15.
B. “Whatsoever you ask the Father, in My name, he shall give it you.” John 14:13.
Actually ask for what you want. Tell Him the color of your desired object if that is important to you.
1) “You have not because you ask not…” James 4:2.
2) “Whatsoever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.” Mark 11:23.
Remain positive in belief of your answered prayer. Matthew 21:22.
Guard your mind. Keep God’s Word paramount there against thoughts of Fear and Unbelief. Romans 4:19-20. 2 Timothy 1:13.
1) “Fear Not!” Genesis 15:1. Deuteronomy 31:6. Joshua 10:25. Luke 12:32.
Meditate in God’s answer from His Word by muttering it to yourself aloud throughout the day, ponder it when you can’t speak it out loud, and meditate on it in your quiet times until you can see it happening. Ephesians 5:19.
Give Him thanks aloud for His positive answer from the first mention of it to Him in Prayer, remembering that THANKSGIVING is a force that can change things in the spirit world so that it manifests in the material world. Ephesians 5:20.
1) “We know that those things which are seen are not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3.
2) “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1.
3) “In all things, give thanks…” Ephesians 5:20.
Make every prayer a statement of faith, based on the Word of God for whatever you have asked for. Pray ever successive prayer toward these ends: Ephesians 6:18. Philippians 4:6.
Remind God that you have already asked for it, according to Isaiah 43:25-26. Isaiah 43:26. 2 Timothy 1:3.
1) Remind Him of the scriptures you are standing on by faith. Acts 10:31.
2) Declare those things that are not yet as though they are, because in the spirit, they are already! Romans 4:17.
3) “The Prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16.
4) Be sure you are standing in His righteousness, being free from guilt and condemnation. 1 Peter 3:12. Matthew 25:46.
a) God erases your sin whenever you wholeheartedly repent. [The word repent means “return to your original high place.” This is the place God gave the first Man in the Garden of Eden.] 2 Chronicles 6:26. Ezekiel 18:21.
b) He says he removes your sins, when you repent, as far from him as the east is from the west, and throws them into a lake of forgetfulness. Psalms 103:12.
c) “Seek first His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” Mt. 6:33.
Matthew 6:12, 14-15 tells us that we must forgive others, for our sake (purpose), so we can fellowship with them the same way God forgives us for His sake (purpose) so He can fellowship with us. We are to restore fellowship one to another, as God, through Christ, is our example.
1) Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
2) Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
3) Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
4) Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
1. Ephesians 5:1 “Be ye followers of God, as dear children, and walk in love…”
2. Lev 19:18 “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.”
3. 1Pe 2:21-25 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

8 Kinds of Christian Prayers & Their Requirements
(every Christian needs to know)
To understand the most basic functions, methodologies and uses of prayer, one must first understand the general system of spiritual things. This first section is an outline of Biblical fundaments concerning the basic planetary laws set in place by God. I must assume someone reading this will know at least enough scripture to be able to:
1) fill in the information between these concepts, or
2) ask me an intelligent question about how these basics relate to other scriptural subjects.
FACTS TO KNOW:
A. God Almighty, the most intelligent, powerful being anywhere, made the heavens and the earth and all that exists, with the help and assistance of Jesus, the Christ of Promise, before He came to earth ([1]), and the Holy Spirit.
B. God originally gave the Title Deed to Planet Earth to the species called Man (), whom He [God] created as a “free-will agent,” a being capable of making independent decisions based upon his own will.
C. Man was deceived into relinquishing the Title Deed, to the deceiver, Satan ([2]). That made Satan King of Earth, with all power, and he continues to deceive those that remain under that earthly kingdom’s inferior rule.
D. Jesus, The Christ of Promise in the Bible, came to earth, as a Man, to manipulate Satan out of the Title Deed, and return it to the hands of Man, again, in His stead ([3]) when He returned to the presence of His Father. Had Satan not actually had the Title he could not have tempted Jesus, for the kingdoms of the world is what Jesus came to claim in the first place, but He had to win it back lawfully rather than by deceit. He did this openly ([4]).
E. When The Risen Lord, Jesus, the Christ returned to Heaven ([5]), He gave us instructions on how, when, where, and why to access Him and His power.
1) WHAT? Spoken words ([6])
2) HOW? Use of the Rule Book (Bible) ([7]).
3) WHEN? Our prayers to the Heavenly Father, using the authority of Jesus’ name. ([8]).
4) WHY? To let our petitions and supplications be known unto Almighty God.
5) WHY? So God does not “trespass” on the private affairs of humanity by butting in where He is not invited, since he gave ownership back to us through Christ Jesus. He is militarily able, but He is not legally responsible to intervene on Man’s behalf within the realm of the earth. He WANTS us to invite Him to intervene in our affairs daily, hourly, with love, respect and reverence, and know that “He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or even think!” So, Prayer is like inviting God to your party, at your house. But, you have the right and the responsibility to shoot Satan if he crashes it! That’s the law!
1. Prayer of Agreement (* = Examples, not exhaustive list)
* Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
* Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
* 1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
* 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
A. Requires more than one person as petitioner and God as listener, with Jesus as advocate.
B. Requires mutually agreed-to terms that they set forth by petitioners as a request based on the laws of God in His book of promises (Bible)
2. Prayer of Faith (or Petition) (*)
* Mar 11:24-25 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
A. Requires one person as petitioner and God as listener, with Jesus as advocate.
B. Requires a petition for or about something in particular. The rule is “be specific” or you will get an non-specific response.
C. Requires speaking to God in privacy ([9]).
3. Prayer of Consecration and Dedication (*)
* Mat 26:36-39 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And...
* Mar 14:32-36 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. And...
* Luk 22:39-44 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
** Jam 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
A. Requires an answer from God to a petition that is not covered in the rule book (Bible) [...a specific who, what, where, when, how petition. i.e. “who will I marry?” “Where will I work?” “What will they do?” etc.]
B. Requires obedience to God’s Holy will in the end. (One must listen with one’s spirit to understand the answer to this one.)
C. This last type (**) requires an additional step and combines types of prayers:
1) It requires anointing with oil, and
2) The prayer of faith for healing
4. Prayer of Praise and Worship (*)
* Exo 15:1-19 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
* Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
A. Requires people with grateful hearts for something they have experienced or seen
B. Requires spoken words of Praise toward God and Worship in Spirit and in Truth (not just meditation of heart)
5. Prayer of Intercession by Holy Spirit (*)
* Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And...
* Luk 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
A. Requires an intercession person to permit the Holy Spirit to pray through them in the Heavenly Language (Prayer Tongues)

1) General Petitions
a) For those in power in the world system
b) For Christian Brothers and Sisters needs to be met
c) For the lost to be save (the only request God hears for them!)
2) Specific Petitions
a) For known circumstances
b) For unknown circumstances
6. Prayer for Deliverance (*)
* Exo 33:12-22 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
* Mat 26:38-39 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
A. Requires one petitioner before God
B. Requires a situation the petitioner or intercessor wants deliverance from as a petition
C. Most often requires fasting to accompany it ([10]).
7. Prayer of Judgment (*)
* Psa 10:1-18 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand (in judgment against the Wicked): forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
* Psa 35:1-8 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
A. Requires knowledge of biblical offenses and the judgment required for them.
B. Requires specific judgments to be quoted over perpetrators of offenses or situations regarding offense ([11]).
8 Prayer for World Harvest
* Mat 9:35-38 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest (), that He will send forth labourers into his harvest.
* Mat 9:37-38 Then saith he [Jesus] unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. And...
* Mat 13:36-42 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom [of God, full of the Word of God!]; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
A. Requires every Christians’ to pray this prayer, without ceasing
1) Requires us to invite God’s intervention in End-Time World Affairs
2) Requires us to invite God’s intervention into our families salvation
B. Requires submission to the perfect will of God [as opposed to the permissive will of God.]

[4] Colossians 2:12-15 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

And...
John 14:12-13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. And...

A. God Almighty, the most intelligent, powerful being anywhere, made the heavens and the earth and all that exists, with the help and assistance of Jesus, the Christ of Promise, before He came to earth ([1]), and the Holy Spirit.
B. God originally gave the Title Deed to Planet Earth to the species called Man (), whom He [God] created as a “free-will agent,” a being capable of making independent decisions based upon his own will.
C. Man was deceived into relinquishing the Title Deed, to the deceiver, Satan ([2]). That made Satan King of Earth, with all power, and he continues to deceive those that remain under that earthly kingdom’s inferior rule.
D. Jesus, The Christ of Promise in the Bible, came to earth, as a Man, to manipulate Satan out of the Title Deed, and return it to the hands of Man, again, in His stead ([3]) when He returned to the presence of His Father. Had Satan not actually had the Title he could not have tempted Jesus, for the kingdoms of the world is what Jesus came to claim in the first place, but He had to win it back lawfully rather than by deceit. He did this openly ([4]).
E. When The Risen Lord, Jesus, the Christ returned to Heaven ([5]), He gave us instructions on how, when, where, and why to access Him and His power.
1) WHAT? Spoken words ([6])
2) HOW? Use of the Rule Book (Bible) ([7]).
3) WHEN? Our prayers to the Heavenly Father, using the authority of Jesus’ name. ([8]).
4) WHY? To let our petitions and supplications be known unto Almighty God.
5) WHY? So God does not “trespass” on the private affairs of humanity by butting in where He is not invited, since he gave ownership back to us through Christ Jesus. He is militarily able, but He is not legally responsible to intervene on Man’s behalf within the realm of the earth. He WANTS us to invite Him to intervene in our affairs daily, hourly, with love, respect and reverence, and know that “He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or even think!” So, Prayer is like inviting God to your party, at your house. But, you have the right and the responsibility to shoot Satan if he crashes it! That’s the law!
1. Prayer of Agreement (* = Examples, not exhaustive list)
* Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
* Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
* 1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
* 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
A. Requires more than one person as petitioner and God as listener, with Jesus as advocate.
B. Requires mutually agreed-to terms that they set forth by petitioners as a request based on the laws of God in His book of promises (Bible)

* Mar 11:24-25 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
A. Requires one person as petitioner and God as listener, with Jesus as advocate.
B. Requires a petition for or about something in particular. The rule is “be specific” or you will get an non-specific response.
C. Requires speaking to God in privacy ([9]).
3. Prayer of Consecration and Dedication (*)
* Mat 26:36-39 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And...
* Mar 14:32-36 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. And...
* Luk 22:39-44 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
** Jam 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
A. Requires an answer from God to a petition that is not covered in the rule book (Bible) [...a specific who, what, where, when, how petition. i.e. “who will I marry?” “Where will I work?” “What will they do?” etc.]
B. Requires obedience to God’s Holy will in the end. (One must listen with one’s spirit to understand the answer to this one.)
C. This last type (**) requires an additional step and combines types of prayers:
1) It requires anointing with oil, and
2) The prayer of faith for healing
4. Prayer of Praise and Worship (*)
* Exo 15:1-19 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
* Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
A. Requires people with grateful hearts for something they have experienced or seen
B. Requires spoken words of Praise toward God and Worship in Spirit and in Truth (not just meditation of heart)
5. Prayer of Intercession by Holy Spirit (*)
* Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And...
* Luk 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

c) For the lost to be save (the only request God hears for them!)
2) Specific Petitions
a) For known circumstances
b) For unknown circumstances
6. Prayer for Deliverance (*)
* Exo 33:12-22 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
* Mat 26:38-39 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
A. Requires one petitioner before God
B. Requires a situation the petitioner or intercessor wants deliverance from as a petition
C. Most often requires fasting to accompany it ([10]).
7. Prayer of Judgment (*)
* Psa 10:1-18 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand (in judgment against the Wicked): forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
* Psa 35:1-8 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
A. Requires knowledge of biblical offenses and the judgment required for them.
B. Requires specific judgments to be quoted over perpetrators of offenses or situations regarding offense ([11]).
8 Prayer for World Harvest
* Mat 9:35-38 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest (), that He will send forth labourers into his harvest.
* Mat 9:37-38 Then saith he [Jesus] unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. And...
* Mat 13:36-42 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom [of God, full of the Word of God!]; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
A. Requires every Christians’ to pray this prayer, without ceasing
1) Requires us to invite God’s intervention in End-Time World Affairs
2) Requires us to invite God’s intervention into our families salvation
B. Requires submission to the perfect will of God [as opposed to the permissive will of God.]
[1] Colossians 1:17-20 And He [Jesus] is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
[2] Genesis 3:1-24.
[3] Luke 4:5-6 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
[4] Colossians 2:12-15 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

[8] Acts 3:15-16 And [Satan, through his plan] killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other [name]: for there is none other name under heaven given among men [except “Jesus”], whereby we must be saved. And
Ephesians 1:20-23 Which He [God] wrought in Christ, when He [God] raised Him [Jesus] from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. And...
John 14:12-13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. And...
St. John 14:12-14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. And...
Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
St. John 16:23-24 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
[9] Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
[10] Mat 17:21 Howbeit this kind [if demonic spirit] goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
[11] In many cases, when one studies Biblical offenses and their penalty judgments, one sees the requirement to judge righteous judgments upon those instances. About half of David’s Psalms are judgment prayers.
Prayer as Legal Petition
Prayer is not a “religious” endeavor for Christians. It is a legal term meaning “to Petition.” Petitions are legal avenues through which people make demands for consideration to governments, which have rules (laws) and structure (constitutions).
Persons must first be legal within that system, which is why Christ came in a human body to earth. Human means “made of dirt” or from “humans.” He had to come according to the laws of man.
Adam, the first “Man” had been given authority over the earth [1]. Satan stole it by lying to him to take it [2], and Jesus won it back from Satan by letting Himself be killed illegally (because death is the punishment for sin, and He was sinless) [3], thereby winning “all authority on earth [4]” back from Satan. Then, when He left, He left His believers in charge of the earth they were supposed to rule and reign over in the first place. God wants us to know Kingship! He birthed us to rule! And when we are resurrected into new bodies, that is exactly what we will do on earth [5]!
But to get to that stage, we must learn to do it His way, here. And His way involves learning to make a “Petitions.”
Every word spoken by a king becomes law! Every Word of God is our law and constitution. We have a right, and a responsibility, to work the Word of God! We must learn to do it to rightly fulfill our Kingship!
Jesus was named “God in dirt [6].” God never violates His Word!
God fulfills our Petitions by His Word [7]. A petition, therefore, is a legal document whereby we access our Heavenly Father’s resources.

Prayer Against Satanic Realms
It is important for Christians to conduct spiritual warfare against the Principalities, Powers, Rulers of the Darkness of this World and against Spiritual Wickedness in High Places [1], in the power and authority of Jesus’ name [2].
The name of Jesus is higher and more powerful than any other name that is named in heaven and in earth [3]. For us who bear His name, there is no authority over us on earth but Him! Therefore, we must reign on earth by Him, until He returns. The only way to do that is spiritually.
We employ the weapons of our warfare in prayer. These weapons are not carnal [4], but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and brings into captivity every thought to be obedience of Christ!
The following is a compilation of names and ranks of fallen angels and demon spirits I have collected over the years. This is who we are taking authority over in prayer. If you have personal knowledge of any other name, add it to your list. I am sure I do not know of them all.
If you are unsure how to pray to this end, please feel free to use the following prayer:
************************************************PRAYER**************************************************************
Heavenly Father [5], In the precious name of Jesus Christ [6], my Lord, I pray this day against the spiritual powers named on this list, and I, in Jesus’ name, tell them to cease and desist from their evil activities: Shut your mouths! Be quiet! Speak no more! By Jesus’ Holy name, I[7] hereby judge them [8] unfit to rule this universe and this planet through their evil deeds and ideologies, and I impose upon them these judgments written [9]: banishment to eternal damnation [10] and incarceration in The Pit [11].
Satan, I command you, in Jesus’ name, you and all your organization in the heavenlies and on earth, whose names are mentioned on this summons and any others, by any name, who are omitted hereon: release your (collective) hold upon all of mankind [12]. Release every human being, who is bound by any auspices you have employed: body, soul and spirit. I claim the souls of all men (i.e. humans) for the Kingdom of Light and I instruct the Holy Angels of Almighty God [13] to minister this word* of freedom in Christ to them: “God is Love*. [14]” “God loves you [15]* and sent His son to pay earth’s ransom for your salvation.” “Believe, therefore, on the name of Jesus and be saved. [16]*” To them, by an extension of my will, I extend God’s grace. Amen.
I entreat the Holy Spirit to go forth over the face of the earth, and reprove[17] these newly released humans of the world, out of every kindred, nation and tongue, of sin, that they may choose goodness over evil and turn from their wicked ways to follow Christ Jesus. I call to their spirits, saying, “Hear Him! Hear Him! For He is the Holy Spirit and He speaks the Word Of God to your spirit.”
Now, Father, I bless Your Holy Name and thank you for redeeming a generation [18] unto Yourself by Jesus, the Christ of promise. I thank you that in Him, all our former sins are hidden by His cleansing blood, and we are made alive forever. Thank you for those that we set free by our prayers, and a pray Your great grace on them as they begin their new walk in Truth. Shower them with grace and favor, for their time is very short [19].
I forbid these principalities and powers and rulers to touch them again, ever, for they are Yours. They are of Your glory, in Your glory and for Your glory. And I present them to You in prayer because You are worthy to receive majesty, glory and honor. AMEN.

[19] St. John 9:4.
The name of Jesus is higher and more powerful than any other name that is named in heaven and in earth [3]. For us who bear His name, there is no authority over us on earth but Him! Therefore, we must reign on earth by Him, until He returns. The only way to do that is spiritually.
We employ the weapons of our warfare in prayer. These weapons are not carnal [4], but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and brings into captivity every thought to be obedience of Christ!
The following is a compilation of names and ranks of fallen angels and demon spirits I have collected over the years. This is who we are taking authority over in prayer. If you have personal knowledge of any other name, add it to your list. I am sure I do not know of them all.
If you are unsure how to pray to this end, please feel free to use the following prayer:
************************************************PRAYER**************************************************************
Heavenly Father [5], In the precious name of Jesus Christ [6], my Lord, I pray this day against the spiritual powers named on this list, and I, in Jesus’ name, tell them to cease and desist from their evil activities: Shut your mouths! Be quiet! Speak no more! By Jesus’ Holy name, I[7] hereby judge them [8] unfit to rule this universe and this planet through their evil deeds and ideologies, and I impose upon them these judgments written [9]: banishment to eternal damnation [10] and incarceration in The Pit [11].
Satan, I command you, in Jesus’ name, you and all your organization in the heavenlies and on earth, whose names are mentioned on this summons and any others, by any name, who are omitted hereon: release your (collective) hold upon all of mankind [12]. Release every human being, who is bound by any auspices you have employed: body, soul and spirit. I claim the souls of all men (i.e. humans) for the Kingdom of Light and I instruct the Holy Angels of Almighty God [13] to minister this word* of freedom in Christ to them: “God is Love*. [14]” “God loves you [15]* and sent His son to pay earth’s ransom for your salvation.” “Believe, therefore, on the name of Jesus and be saved. [16]*” To them, by an extension of my will, I extend God’s grace. Amen.
I entreat the Holy Spirit to go forth over the face of the earth, and reprove[17] these newly released humans of the world, out of every kindred, nation and tongue, of sin, that they may choose goodness over evil and turn from their wicked ways to follow Christ Jesus. I call to their spirits, saying, “Hear Him! Hear Him! For He is the Holy Spirit and He speaks the Word Of God to your spirit.”
Now, Father, I bless Your Holy Name and thank you for redeeming a generation [18] unto Yourself by Jesus, the Christ of promise. I thank you that in Him, all our former sins are hidden by His cleansing blood, and we are made alive forever. Thank you for those that we set free by our prayers, and a pray Your great grace on them as they begin their new walk in Truth. Shower them with grace and favor, for their time is very short [19].
I forbid these principalities and powers and rulers to touch them again, ever, for they are Yours. They are of Your glory, in Your glory and for Your glory. And I present them to You in prayer because You are worthy to receive majesty, glory and honor. AMEN.
