Praying With Purpose
Devotional
The Father of Heaven has equipped us with essential tools to overcome obstacles in this journey we call Life. It is crucial to develop a closeness with Him through the reading of the Word and Prayer.
Praying with Purpose enables the believer to be specific with prayer petitions by declaring the Word of God.
​
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
​
Praying with Purpose operates in the authority that is given by Christ to change the atmosphere for
breakthrough and deliverance.
Matthew 18:18-19 (NIV)
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Praying with Purpose helps to strengthen the inner man with the power source of the Holy Spirit.
​
Romans 8:26 (NIV)
26 In the same way the Spirit helps our weakness. There are times when we don't know what to pray; however, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings that words cannot express.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
16 Rejoice always
17 pray continually
18 give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in
Christ Jesus.
Before prayer changes others, first it will change us! ~Billy Graham
