BE BOLD IN PRAYERS

“Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up
his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.” John 11:41 (KJV)

Today, I encourage you to come boldly to the throne of grace and obtain mercy (Hebrews
4:16). God is your Father, and you have His approval because of Jesus. So, you can make
bold demands and expect a response from heaven. That is what the finished work of Jesus has
done for you and me.

Jesus prayed at the tomb of Lazarus, who had been dead for four days. The situation was
daunting, but Jesus wasn’t perturbed. He said, “I thank You that You have heard Me.” That
was a bold statement. He knew Lazarus had no choice but to come forth because the Father
already heard his prayers.

When you know that your prayers are not to beg God, arm-twist Him, or change His mind, it
changes how you pray. This is why praying scriptures are vitally important because in
praying scriptures, you are taking God’s Word back to Him. The Bible says the barren shall
keep house and be joyful mothers of children. It says you are the head and not the tail. It says
no weapon formed against you shall prosper. It says God will bless your bread and water and
remove sickness from your midst. It says if you lack wisdom, ask of me, and I’ll give it to
you freely. In prayers, get into the scriptures and take God’s word back to Him and watch
Him flex His muscles on your behalf. The scriptures give you a holy audacity in prayers.
I believe God is with you that this season will not pass you by. Your ground will produce, and
the earth will yield an excellent harvest for you. In whatever area the enemy raises his ugly
head against you, he is condemned to eternal defeat. Every siege of the enemy over your life
is broken.
